I guess I'm always a little surprised by this company's products, even though I shouldn't be. I tried another WORX product again. This time her cordless drill. The drill's build quality, light weight, functionality, features and little extras like drill bits and other useful hardware are exceptional. The price is very good for the quality you get. I have their wild cabbage and it's excellent too. I tested both devices and their performance is excellent, including battery life. In the end, I just don't know what to blame this company for. Good architecture, good engineering and obviously good manufacturing make a very good product. Best regards B
