Homeowner Review, Big But Small Problems.

Here is my starting point. I am a homeowner who loves to do my handwork. This review is from that perspective only. a product that the offers the capabilities of a drill and a screwdriver and does both well.This product met those needs fantastically.It doesn't feel cheap, but it doesn't feel overly heavy either.Power - It has never let me down for lack of power .,requirement for this type of tool.Need this belt clip is awesome.ry Run Time - For me these batteries last a long time.My projects usually only run for a few hours at a time and one battery lasts the entire project.It is good to have a backup battery if the first one eventually runs out What I don't like: The chuck rotates by itself - The tool has a braking function, who n you release the trigger. This will loosen the cartridge over time. Eventually your bit will fall out if you don't re-tighten it from time to time. In my opinion this is caused by braking too aggressively. It doesn't cause me much trouble, but it irritates me a little. The LED light is partially blocked. It's nice when the LED lights up automatically when you pull the trigger. One problem is that the light does not directly illuminate the target. It's covered by the tip of the drill, so the light travels around the object but doesn't fall directly on it. It would be better to position the light so that it directly illuminates the target. Conclusion: I really like this tool. Every time I use it I think how much fun it is and how much trouble it will save me compared to a drill and screwdriver set. I would definitely buy this product again.
