38A716 - Walter 716 Heavy-Duty 2-Speed Reversible D-Handle Drill

Heavy-Duty Performance for Industrial Drilling

The Walter 716 Electric Drill is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional tradespeople and industrial environments. At the heart of this tool is a super power heavy-duty motor designed to deliver consistent performance under load. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, on a construction site, or in a maintenance facility, the reliability of the Walter 716 ensures that your drilling tasks are completed efficiently and precisely. The tool's robust construction protects internal components from the wear and tear of daily heavy use, making it a long-lasting investment for your tool arsenal.

Versatile 2-Speed Gearbox

One of the standout features of the Walter 716 is its dynamic 2-speed gearbox. This functionality transforms the drill into a highly versatile machine capable of handling a wide range of applications. The low-speed setting provides the added torque necessary for drilling large diameter holes with hole saws or auger bits, as well as for mixing heavy compounds like mortar or paint. Conversely, the high-speed setting is optimized for precision drilling of smaller holes where speed and clean entry are paramount. This dual nature eliminates the need to carry multiple drills for different phases of a project.

Ergonomics and Control

Operator comfort and control are critical for safety and precision, especially during extended use. The Walter 716 features an ergonomic D-shaped rear handle that allows the user to apply direct pressure in line with the drill bit, maximizing penetration force while minimizing wrist strain. Additionally, the drill comes equipped with a rotating, detachable side handle. This auxiliary handle can be positioned to suit the specific angle of attack or the user's preference, providing the stability needed to manage the high torque output of the motor. The inclusion of electronic speed control further enhances precision, allowing users to feather the trigger for accurate hole starting.

Tapping and Threading Capabilities

Beyond standard drilling, the Walter 716 is an excellent choice for tapping applications. The built-in reversing feature allows for the easy backing out of taps and bits, streamlining the workflow for metalworkers who need to create threaded holes in steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. This multifunctionality makes it an indispensable tool for metal fabrication and assembly tasks.
