Amazon is selling this Bosch 6.5A 1/2″ drill for $89, with free shipping. The drill delivers 525 watts of power with 375 inch-pounds of torque, and it spins up to 850 RPM, good for most high-speed applications. It features a two-finger trigger, a 360-degree auxiliary handle, and a metal housing for added toughness. Bosch hardens the jaws of the keyed 1/2″ chuck for heavy-duty drilling.

Actually 850 rpms is pretty slow. Small, low rpm drills like that are great for spraining wrists.
Leaf,
Actually, many 1/2″ corded drills have a max RPM of 850. I challenge you to find a 1/2″ corded drill (w/o hammer mode) that provides greater than 850 RPM.
I have three 1/2″ inch drills and none are higher than 850 rpm. One maxes at 550 rpm.

for drilling in steel and other hard metals higher speeds are undisirable because they will mess up your larger bits, and if your using smaller bits you can use a smaller drill with a higher speed.
