Power Drill STANLEY STA61401-XJ — corded electric drill, model STA61401-XJ

The STANLEY STA61401-XJ corded electric drill is designed for general drilling in wood, metal and masonry. It delivers continuous power from mains supply for tasks that require stable output over extended periods. The drill features adjustable speed and reversible rotation to switch between drilling and screwdriving functions, and a chuck type as specified by the manufacturer. Its straightforward controls and corded power make it suitable where uninterrupted operation and consistent torque are needed.

Advantages

The corded design provides steady power for long jobs without battery changes. Variable speed control allows precise drilling rates for different materials, while reversible rotation enables basic screwdriving. The drill’s build and controls are purposefully simple, supporting ease of use and predictable performance during home renovation, DIY and light professional tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in wood for furniture assembly and carpentry
• Drilling metal for brackets, panels and light fabrication
• Masonry drilling for anchors and wall fixings with appropriate masonry bits
• Screwdriving and fastening when reversible rotation is required
• Continuous indoor workshop work where mains power is available

Key specifications

• Power source: mains corded electric operation
• Material capability: suitable for wood, metal and masonry with correct drill bits
• Speed control: adjustable/variable speed for material-appropriate drilling
• Rotation: reversible for forward and reverse operation
• Chuck: manufacturer-specified chuck type compatible with standard drill bits

How to use

Select an appropriate drill bit for the material and secure it in the chuck according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the drill to a grounded mains outlet and set the variable speed to a low setting to start, increasing speed as needed for the material and hole diameter. Use steady pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface. Switch rotation direction when changing between drilling and screwdriving. Disconnect from the mains before changing bits or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use correct drill bits and appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. For masonry, start with a pilot hole and use hammer/drill-capable bits if required. Maintain ventilation and secure workpieces with clamps. Avoid excessive side load on the chuck to prolong tool life.
