used for drilling holes in steel and similar metals.

• They are used on the job site or in the shop

When Do I Use a Mag Drill?

It can be time-consuming and cumbersome

to try to maneuver large steel or pipe into

position at a stationary drill press or work center.

A portable magnetic drill allows you to take the

drill to the work piece, instead of trying to bring

the work piece to the drill.

• A portable magnetic drill may be

used in any position—vertical,

horizontal, or overhead (upside down)
