This is a brand NEW Magnetic Drill. It has an adapter which allows for standard drill bits to be used. It comes with a hard plastic carrying case, oil bottle, safety chain, and drill bit adapter.


Standard Twist Drill Bit Capacity (with Free Chuck): Up to 1" with step drilling. Generally customers use smaller than 7/16" standard twist drills bits with this machine. Also note that only short bits can fit with the free chuck attached, as there is only 3.5" from magnetic base to bottom of the chuck. The bits shown in photos are not included.

Review Posted by Mad-Gunner on 20th Jun 2023:

"The Blue Rock BRM-35 is a competitor to the Evolution EVOMAG42, Evolution S28MAG, and similar 10-Amp drills that support less-than-2-inch wide x 2-inch deep cutting bits. Blue Rock is arguably equal or more in comparison to Evolution but at a much better price. The BRM-35 is a solid piece of equipment while still being easily portable at less than 30 pounds, and the included chuck for regular bits is much appreciated.

The Blue Rock models BRM-60 and TYP-75 are capable of more than 2-inch wide cutting, 15-Amp, two-speed and reversible. If you're looking to get into heavy duty hole cutting, albeit less easily portable (50+ pounds), the BRM-60 is a great deal.

For those that want to compare Blue Rock drills to the benchmark brand, the BRM-35 sits just under the DeWalt DWE1622K, at half the cost, while the BRM-60 punches above the DeWalt and costs a Benjamin more.

Photos included for what you get in this bundle: BRM-35 with 3/4" Weldon Shank and regular drill bit chuck, plus a six-piece set of 1" deep annular cutters. This is the BRM-35A-B which is blue/black in color. The BRM-35A is the same drill, but orange in color.

Note - the Blue Rock cutters come with one pilot pin. Evolution sells a remarkably similar set, but each cutter has its own pilot pin. The Evolution set costs a few dollars more than Blue Rock, and is justified in the mark-up by including the extra pins (you really only need one, but having many is convenient)."
