For the Money, it's a Good Drill
I bought this drill as a cheap backup to my Hitachi cordless. For the money, I like it overall.
It has plenty of power and holds a charge for an adequate period of time. I would suggest purchasing a spare battery if you're using it as your primary drill.
Ergonomically the drill is okay. It's not as comfortable as my other higher end drills, but the cost is half of my other drills too, so beggars cannot be choosers, in my opinion. All in all, it does the job.
My biggest gripe with the drill is the fact that there is not a two speed transmission, so you're stuck with one speed between high and low. Not a deal breaker. For light work around the house this drill would probably last a lifetime. For a pro or heavy do-it your selfer, probably not.
Pros: plenty of power, light, economically priced.
Cons: no interchangeable speeds, doesn't fit my hand comfortably, slightly cheaper construction than more expensive drills (I know, you get what you pay for).
