Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*** Pros: The drill has a quality feel to it. Not Lexus-quality, but Toyota-quality. My earlier, lower-quality drill has quite a bit of wobble and play in it. That gets magnified if you use a long attachment. That meant many times the drill jumped-out of the #2 screws I mostly worked on, or it damaged the screws a bit by the time I was done. This drill is built to much tighter tolerance and it seems to jump-out of the screws a lot less. Also I see less (but still some) metal residue on the bit after turning a screw. Lots of torque Excellent speed control. You can turn a screw at exactly the speed you want. This is very helpful in avoiding over-torquing and having the bit jump out of the screw. I do small projects around the house, so still on my first charge Nice weight. Not too heavy. *** Cons: No strong negatives. I looked at much much more expensive drills and wished for some extra features, so sharing that just FYI: 1] Many drills have LEDs that spotlight your work area. This one didn't. 2] Built-in horizontal and vertical level would have been nice, though I never used the ones in my earlier drill. 3] I much prefer drill/drivers because their stubby snouts make them much more handy to maneuver into tight spots. This drill has a traditional profile. Now add a longish bit to get into a tight spot and you've got something that's nearly a foot long! 4] Top-of-the line drill/drivers costing 3-5 times more, are brushless. That means much longer battery life and no carbon brushes to wear-out. If you're willing to pay extra for quality, it might be an idea to look at brushless drill/drivers as well. I could have bought one of those myself, but in the end felt my very light use didn't justify such an expensive tool. *** Conclusion Every product offers a balance of price/performance. This drill is excellent for its price. Highly recommended at its price.
