Dewalt has announced the recall of two corded drills, DWD110, and DWD112, due to a potential shock hazard where internal wiring can contact moving parts.
About 122,000 units are affected, including another 8,000 sold on Canada. The drills were sold at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon, and other hardware stores and online retailers.

Jim Felt says
I’m just amazed they actually sold 130,000 smaller corded drills a year in NA!
To me that’s the bullet point.
Thoughts?
Stuart says
I thought the number was high, but it’s hard to draw any conclusions or assumptions from it.
Sean says
That looks a lot like the “new” Craftsman corded drills (CRAFTSMAN 7-Amp 3/8-in Keyless Corded Drill). Are they included in the recall??
Eric says
Pretty sure the Craftsman model is a reworked Porter Cable. That drill looks to be no longer available at Lowes. They both share the lock on button and the Dewalt doesn’t have one. Though they probably all 3 share a lot of components. There really haven’t been any upgrades to these things in decades other than cosmetics.
Stuart says
If the Craftsman drill were included in the recall, it would be mentioned (I’ve seen numerous brand recall notices before), or a separate recall would have been published at the same time.
