Originally gave it 4 1/2 stars, now I give it 5 STARS!!!
Update: I bought this drill months ago and certainly liked it. But since I didn't have the chance to use it under different conditions, I only gave it 4 1/2 starts. But after using it to put together a vegetable garden, make a garden door, and do a few more projects requiring both a drill and a driver, I now give it five stars! Used one battery for 4 1/2 hours doing both drilling, as large as 1/2" and driving screws into hard wood. Shockingly, this little tool worked very well! I have been keeping both batteries charged, but it was so nice to keep reaching for this well balanced tool that could keep working when I needed it. It has two things that are not perfect, the keyless chuck really needs to be cranked down or the drill or driver bit can come out. But this is not uncommon for all these types of tools. The only other issue is the direction switch. It can sometimes move when you don't want it to. But again, I don't think this is too uncommon. But the positives certainly outweigh the negatives!Bought this drill after trying some other higher powered units. This drill has two distinct advantages over the competition. First, the quality of the chuck is superior in that it is nicely centered. The others when using a smaller drill bit would wobble like crazy. This one is not 100% centered, but significantly better than the others. The second advantage is the overall size and weight with the battery installed. Since the battery is designed as a continuation of the handle grip, it makes it nicely balanced and not too heavy. The things that bring it down one star is the longevity of the battery and the reversing switch. The battery is slightly under powered for bigger jobs, impacting running times, although it really isn't that much of a problem since you get two and they charge quickly. Also, it is hard to complain too much about this issue since the size of the battery is also a positive, so really a trade-off. The reversing switch is easy to move when the drill is not operating and because if its location high up on the grip, it is fairly easy to accidentally hit it. But the motor is very strong, it is great at drilling and if you keep it in drill mode, you can torque drywall screws into hard wood, so it does have good power for its size.Ver másVer menos
