This is a great drill... Powerful and Comfortable.:
I've had this drill for about a year and a half now and can't say enough about it... It has handled everything I have given it and doesn't quit. Before buying I shopped at Home Depot and Lowes just to get a feel for the weight, balance, and grip comfort and I can say this drill is tops... It a little loud compared it's competitors, But I love it the way it is, after all it's a "power" tool.
Great drill:
We have a lot of drills on the job. These always get used first. Great power, 3 speeds, locks when you stop. The way it stops when you release the trigger is great. It makes bit changes a snap. It's the best feature. I am buying this to replace one that has been dropped from 15' repeatedly. The old one still works but it has been patched together a few times.
great drill:
excellent replacement drill. Didn't need case, charger, batteries. Nice to be able to get what you need without buying it all. Shipped quick, nuf said.
