Heavy duty! Literally!!
4 Stars
Heavy duty! Literally!!
This drill is dependable and sturdy, I have been using it for home repairs for over 5 years. Battery pack is solid and holds a charge almost indefinitely unlike lithium ion. That said, there is a price to pay in weight meaning this thing is heavy!!!! Not ideal for delicate work and fatigue sets in during long jobs. Would recommend for those who use occasionally and will only have one drill. For emergencies and random furniture assembly it is fine. For those who will use as a tool at work or extensive diy repairs the weight is just too much. Li ion drill has more power and is lighter, making this drill obsolete
