perfect for an apartment:

The small size is perfect for hard-to-reach areas and the motor delivers enough torque to meet the demands of any task around my apartment, like hanging shelves and installing wall anchors. I almost purchased a bigger drill driver but as I won't be building a deck or a treehouse, this model is certain to meet my needs for a long time.

Good drill: take care of the batteries:

I've had mine for a couple of years, and it has given excellent service. I'm an active do-it-yourselfer, so I put moderate use on the drill, but not the heavy use of a professional.

Expensive Tool - Poor Quality:

On delivery I checked the tool for run out at the chuck and found that it wobbled. I made the check based on another review. It could be due to a defective chuck or gear box output shaft run out.

Those functions cannot be performed with a chuck that wobbles for whatever reason.
