I am a small lady who loves to do useful things around the house. We used to have a cordless drill from B&D, but it always went out empty and stopped charging after a short time. Drawn by this experience, we opted for a drill press instead. I really enjoy using this drill and have done several projects with it. It's very easy to use, even for a relative novice like me, and the performance is excellent. The trigger responds well, the speed can be controlled well and the reverse function is practical. The design of the drill seems very strong, but at the same time it is relatively compact. Highly recommended!
