Outstanding drill July 27, 2010
kmd02
I've only had it for a month, but it works extremely well, charges very quickly, has decent torque and is reasonably light. Not great for heavy duty work, but an excellent all-around product.

5 out of 5 stars

Stephen B. Smith
I'm extremely happy with this drill. Light and powerful. The battery just keeps going... Also, the one-hand chuck is the best I've ever used.

poor quality July 25, 2010
David A Troop
I have bought this drill motor before for my job and have had no issues. This time however was totally different. I bought it for my house and used it a couple times. When I went to slide the switch over to reverse, nothing happened. I went on Amazon's web site to exchange the drill, and was notified that they would only refund my money that the drill was out of stock. So i packed it up and sent it back to Amazon. Later that day I got an email advertisement saying I can purchase the same drill for $50 more than my refund. DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE GUYS ARE DOING BUT THAT IS WRONG. Like the drill, just got a defective one, not sure if I will be using Amazon again
