5 out of 5 stars Quality product   July 30, 2010

Not much to add to previous reviews. Drill has lots of torque, battery holds charge very well. I use as a household tool, its strong enough and tough enough for commercial applications.

Our crew likes Dewalt Drill Drivers, but this one had a failed chuck within a day of receipt. Not a fan of Dewalt. One the plus side, Amazon was very responsive and had a new one shipped on same day that I contacted them.


5 out of 5 stars Powerful drill in a small package   July 5, 2010
C. Alarcon (Vancouver, BC, CAN)
My old, no name 24V drill gave up his battery a while ago, barely making a short use after 12 hours of charging. I got this beauty using a gift card from a well known hardware store. I was not sure what kind of drill I needed. I am the on and off weekend handyman at home and one thing that I knew is that I wanted something light yet poweful. My wrists and my neck knew quite well already how bad it is to hold a 24V beast while trying to drill accurately on a horizontal surface while keeping your balance on the friggin' ladder. So, I saw this baby on the display area, I held it and noticed how incredibly light it felt. I said, this is it. Well priced, way more torque that my crappy 24V behemot and, best of all, no more sore wrists and arms afterwards. My drill come true.

This is a lot of drill for the money. It's great for quick fixes around the house. It's powerful enough to do the job but not so heavy that I get tired of holding it. Two batteries and a one hour charger mean that it's always ready to go.


5 out of 5 stars Simply The Best   March 18, 2010
Stuart Holst
Truly the best drill I have ever owned. An amazing price for an amazing product. I do, however, feel that the built-in LED light is rather useless, and can be quite annoying since it only activates when you push the trigger. Regardless, this is still an amazing tool and a must-buy for anyone in need!
