Review: Great value - Excellent value. Works great for most applications
Review: Decent for the $ - I have always wanted a mag drill. I have a double frame project that convinced me to spend the $. Pleased with the drill. I’d like to see it a bit tougher, but for the $, it does well. I have drilled 50+ 5/8 holes in truck frame rail. I didn’t miss. It does require care, and not bullet proof by any means, the cords on the outside, with plastic conduit type fittings are not likely to last the industrial use the drill will incur? I’m pleased, but I know I won’t use a lot. If you are going to use more than occasionally, spend twice the $ and get a more industrial machine. If it’s a rare use, this will fill the need.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you tap for bolts with this**
A: Yes and no. go to youtube and search for "Building a 665LB Steel Welding Table/ Workbench!" to 27:04 minutes. It is quite an expensive tap attachment to buy, but it will make the job much easy!

**Q: Does anyone know the length and width of the magnetic base?**
A: Should be a standard size about 4"x8". Really, what matters is magnet holding power. I got rid of the EVO not because it was bad, I traded for a Dewalt,far more powerful, better service  and with better features

**Q: Can this drill sideways and overhead?**
A: Yes as long as the magnet can attach and hold. Remenber thin guages of steel will not be adequate for the magnet to attach.

**Q: Seems people are receiving used or broken mag drills when you’re selling new ones. What’s the deal?**
A: mine arrived totally new

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of thsoe tools you never knew you needed and cant live without.
*by G***T on June 30, 2021*

I'm starting a small metal fabrication business and picked up this Mag Drill. I had previously purchased an Evolution Metal Saw and was impressed with it so purchased the EvoMag42. The drill has some restrictions that are common to all mag drills (distance from the bit to the base) that you have to overcome but this thing is great. The magnet is more than powerful enough to hold on to whatever you need (Though I haven't tried it upside down yet.) The bits are easy to change and it comes with a standard drill chuck as well even though the listing states it doesn't. You will get messy if you use the included oil feed system but the cut quality is great. There is also a lot of adjust ability with the depth so you can use the drill on a stand more like a drill press, or to drill on a raised piece of steel. I paired this drill with Evolution Annular Cutters and Bosch Cobalt Bits and it chews through steel like nothing. It is pretty noise so hearing protection is recommended. My only complaint is the locking lever to set your height does slip a little over time if doing multiple holes. This could cause problems if truing to do a repeatable precise depth hole. Otherwise, if just putting holes in steel, you wont have a problem.
