X2 on the vevor
looks like it has the Allen key style chuck vs quick release, and when the motor is set up fixed on the gibbs it is very limited when it comes to using a chuck + twist drills
but, any mag drill is better than no mag drill, and thats a reasonable price for a name brand unit, though it looks suspiciously similar to many of the Chinese offerings

I drilled like 90ish 5/8 holes in my welding table in 2 hours with an annular cutter with my vevor unit.
Paid $325 at the time. I figured it was cheaper then farming out the job, and no way I was hand drilling them.
I don't know how reliable the magnet parts are, but id assume with how many years they've been around, the corded drill portion will last a long time, maybe require brushes at some point

For the kind of scratch they're asking, I see a lot of rentals in my future.
I looked at renting and Sun rentals would only do a full day at $150. So double that and I had a drill from Vevor.

At that $$$ it pays to buy and resell even if you need it for a day!
i did aliexpress (vevor probably). 13 piece cutter set + drill delivered for ~500 two years ago. STill going strong. Use it a lot.
I picked up a lightly used Dewalt mag drill (corded) for $300 two weeks ago, under exactly those conditions. One-man railing company needed it for a job, cleared it out after.
It has a quick-release chuck (for annular cutters), and comes with a Jacob’s adapter, but I noticed it has extremely limited range with the chuck in. I think it was something like 2” or less from chuck face to surface, with the drill wound all the way back. Is that typical? First time mag driller questions. :|
On many that is typical, the more well thought out drills (and normally more expensive) the motor is on its own set of gibs on the quill/rack so that you can raise the motor up without loosing stroke for when you have a chuck installed

You can get screw machine length(stubby) drill bits, or cut/sharpen what you need.
Annular cutters are the way to go but they are expensive & only go so small
You can also get drill bits with a Weldon shank but they are also getting up there $$
Or if it's just a one off or a couple holes you could clamp a thicker plate to the work and place the mag drill on that

After 15 year my chinese mag drill belched out the magic smoke and I can't seem to put it back in. So Joe, I went and got your link, and yep there it is, 300 rpm variable 1650 watts and discontinued...dammit. The closest thing they now offer is 1550 watts ,variable and 500 rpm max. It is very well made compared to my old smokeless one. I am impressed. Brass slide rails and the variable speed works smoothly.I drilled like 90ish 5/8 holes in my welding table in 2 hours with an annular cutter with my vevor unit.

I am still cracking up over the user manual. They say you can use hollow drills or fried dough drills up to two inches.
Fried dough is twisted I assume. I'm going to have to see if I can chuck a piece of fried dough.

It's hard to get all the smoke back in when you let it out....After 15 year my chinese mag drill belched out the magic smoke and I can't seem to put it back in.
