Quality Inexpesive Drill
My wife and I needed to hang a few more weighty items on the walls of our apartment. We don't own very many tools and where apprehensive about purchasing a drill in lieu of borrowing one. For the price we felt we could justify the purchase, even if we only used it occasionally. I was expecting a drill of lower quality, much like you would find for sub $10 at a place like Harbor Freight. We where surprised at how sturdy it was built and how well it functioned. *************** *** PROS *** *************** - Made with quality materials. The parts that come into contact with your hand are made of a softer plastic, much like that found on a ballpoint pen with a grip, but of higher quality. I honestly believe I could use the butt end as a hammer given how strong the plastic is, but I of course don't recommend this. - Very ergonomic, with reasonable reach to the Forward/reverse slider and Lock-on button, all with one handed use. - The chuck is easily adjusted and prevents over-tightening to the bit. - Comes with a Phillips/Flathead bit that will fit most common screws. There is a place to store the provided bit at the bottom of the handle - Very granular control of the variable speed switch, without this feature I would not have purchased this drill. Sometimes you need to start out slow when drilling in a screw, otherwise you may set a screw sideways, etc. - The Lock-on button allows you to set the drill to a specific speed without pressing the switch. This feature is especially useful for situations such as buffing out scratches on a car or using a small sanding attachment. - Anti fray housing where the cord meets the drill, there is nothing worse than having to ditch a drill or repair it yourself because of a now exposed and dangerous power cable - 2 Year Warranty with a 30 day money-back guarantee - Minimal packaging - Comes in a single box with the drill and a small and concise multi-lingual manual, no oversized box or messy cardboard padding. *************** *** CONS *** *************** - Like most drills, this has an open grill/air vent that cools the electric motor. I don't feel comfortable using this outside during inclement weather given that I can see the components inside. For normal use, this should not even be a concern. - The drill bit stored in the holder at the bottom of the handle can poke your hand if held a certain way. If this is an issue, you can move the Flathead over to the left a bit and bear the less sharp Phillips tip, or you can remove the bit entirely.(just don't loose it) - The drill is a bit heavy for one handed use and does not benefit from the weight of a battery pack to displace how top-heavy it is. In short, if you are looking for an inexpensive general purpose drill that is of quality, I would invest in this drill. **I purchased this product at full price and was not under any obligation to provide a review** Please stop removing my photos Amazon.

    My cordless Dewalt batteries finally died after 8 years and I was horrified to find that new batteries would cost over $100, so I gave away the old drill and went corded. This thing is a workhorse. It served me well while building a whole interior wall and I loved never having to wait for batteries to charge. My only complaint is that the clutch grip could be a little bit stronger, but for $40 I can't really dock a star for that.

    This perfectly drills holes in my stud. Battery powered drills did not do a good job (unless you buy an expensive one). This one is very affordable.

    One flaw it has is the bottom slot where you put the drill bits. The provided bits is very sharp and hard to get it out. Easy to hurt yourself.

    The 5.5-Amp motor delivers ample power for a wide range of DIY projects around the house. Whether I'm drilling holes, driving screws, or tackling more extensive tasks, this drill handles it with ease. The variable speed feature allows for precision control, which is crucial for different materials and applications.

    Another advantage of this drill is its simplicity. It's straightforward to use, making it ideal for homeowners who want a reliable tool without the complexity of professional-grade equipment.

    Muy buen taladro de uso casero, pese a no tener función de roto-martillo es bastante suficiente en casi cualquier uso normal que se le pueda dar en una casa, probablemente no sea la mejor opción como herramienta para trabajo profesional.
