Today, a cordless drill is to a contractor like a six-shooter was to a Wild West cowboy. So when we sat down to design the new line of Rockwell cordless drills, we decided to take the old-fashioned approach. We started with the best motor and highest quality internal components we could find. Then we added our own engineers’ addiction to details to make sure that it all came together to create a durable, great performing tool. Of course, what are cordless tools without the battery and charger? So we also developed a unique charging system made up of the PowerTank battery pack and the PowerStation charger. These two components work together to give you the longer run times you need and faster charges you expect. This Rockwell ProGrade RK2722K2 14.4-Volt Cordless Drill is lightweight but carries a hefty 2-speed motor capable of 310 in/lbs of driving torque. The Rockwell cordless drill/driver is user-friendly and includes features like 24-position torque collar, magnetic fastener tray, bubble level and two-finger trigger.

Customer Reviews
Great drill!,Great drill to use, although I’ve had limited use of it. Love the extra battery and the magnet on the front to allow for easy carrying of screws. I would highly recommend this drill to anyone!
Please note, however, that it DOES NOT come with any drill bits (other than a couple screwdriver bits). This is clearly stated in the description but want to ensure others are aware.
Not a whole lot to say,I was most impressed with the fact that the drill was on sale for 49.95. I am not sure if this is common or not, but you just can’t pass up deals like that. I really like the fact that the drill has free battery replacements for the life of the drill. This was the original reason why I went onto Amazon in the first place before purchasing this drill. My old drill’s batteries costs were nearly the cost of this new drill so I just had to upgrade. I am not a contractor or work in the construction field so I really don’t know or have the interest in buying a 500 dollar drill so this one will suit me just fine for years I am sure.
An amazing tool for the right price,Considering that I paid around 30 bucks for this item (it is often on sale for precisely that on amazon.com) and it was shipped free of charge, I figured I would end up with some chintzy Black and Decker like drill – good enough for some light work. What I did not expect was for this thing to have excellent torque, fantastic build quality and come as well appointed as it did.
The power, at 14.4 volts and its RPM makes this a sensible drill for just about any wood working. I have no issues whatsoever drilling into wood around the house. Planters, picture hanging, deck work are no problems at all. I even did some house framing work for Habitat for Humanity with this tool.
Build quality could not get better unless this was a Festool or a Bosch. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the drill button, but that’s just a matter of preference, not quality (it feels slightly spongy to me).
Lastly, the unit comes in a nice sized plastic case and it comes with TWO batteries and a charger. The charger does get a little hotter than my Dewalt does, but as long as it won’t melt or burn anything down, I’m won’t complaining.
All in all, if you can get this Rockwell for the price I paid, do yourself a favor and buy two.
A Wonderful Drill,This replaced our Bosch 13.2 V drill which we enjoyed for 20 years. The Bosch batteries are no longer available, and one of ours died.
This 14.4 V drill has plenty of power for most of our work. For the heavy stuff we use our 18V DeWalt. It would have been a mistake if Rockwell had used a larger chuck.
Here’s what we like best. 1) free battery replacement for the life of the tool. 2) It’s a complete package in a nice case. 3) It’s beautiful 4) The reasonable price 5) Both my wife and I enjoy using it. In fact she hi-jacked it, and left me with the Bosch and one barely servicable battery.
We have not had it long, but we expect it to last. Our other Rockwell tool is the Sonicrafter, which has worked well and often for over a year.
Converient, well designed rechargabel drill.,This drill has enough power and light weight to be very usefull. Only draw back is the chuck would be better with 1/2 in. bit size. Price, carrying case and design makes it outstanding
