I used this to drill new holes for stops on my refurbished workbench. This drill went straight into the hole and drilled through in seconds! I just wish the shaft was longer. Using my portable drill attachment (Revain's Milescraft 1318 Drillmate Drill Guide), the drill could not fully penetrate the 1 1/2 inch thick wood I was using for the new countertop. To complete the job I had to use a hand drill. Overall I am very impressed with this drill.
