Wobble in the chuck housing causes bit to wobble
My friend has an earlier model of this drill and I really fell in love with it while doing a bathroom remodel, so I decided to order the updated model (LXFD01CW). My drill came today and when I tested it with 3 brand new drill bits I did in fact notice a wobble in the chuck like a few other of the reviewers had noticed. Its a small wobble but definitely noticeable and INEXCUSABLE on a $200 dollar drill. I am going to take a chance and send it back to AMAZON and see if I can get a replacement. I will update when I get the replacement. **UPDATE** Received my replacement drill hoping the wobble issue would be solved....not the case. I tried MANY different drill bits however my replacement drill had the same annoying wobble as the first one. Its not a HUGE wobble but enough to notice and shouldn't happen on a $200 dollar drill. Here is what I really like about the drill: Weight...it is very light with very good torque Grip...this drill feels wonderful in your hand...very balanced and very comfortable Belt Clip...nice feature Battery...very fast charge time (15 minute) however I'm not sure how long a charge would last. Looks...over all this is a very good looking tool. So...with all that said, I am going to return this drill and most likely go with a Bosch or DeWalt (probably a Bosch). I hope this review helped and welcome any comments.
