A GOOD, POWERFUL DRILL; A GOOD, RESPONDING COMPANY

A lot of pros to this, I'll put the negatives at the bottom. This is a compact, extremely easy to handle physically, strong, drill. It puts screws in extremely fast so watch your fingers carefully. This drill was so fast at putting screws in that it surprised me so don't be fooled any by the easy to handle size. I noticed that if you align the screw & drill straight, the screw goes in quite smoothly & very quickly. There is a unique vibration that comes with all drills if the screw & drill aren't aligned completely, comfortably, straight. It comes with a very nice battery that has a button on the actual battery that will then light up how charged the battery is. After doing some work outside, the battery juice hadn't even gone down 1 of the 4 lights - it was still completely charged. I think so far the battery shows good last-ability. It comes with a number of commonly used drill heads, a good instruction booklet, & has a really useful light on the front of the drill. The light is useful to me because I get caught out after dusk still working with lights on all over - at night though there never seems to be enough light for all the angles you have to work at. To have that light right up in front of the drill really did make things easier. I do a lot of building & repair work around the home right now & need a dependable cordless drill. This drill surprisingly exceeded expectations. I have received other tools from Ebay that ended up surprising me, like a $40 jigsaw that was miles better than the one I had. I did receive a few days ago a drill from Kimo that had a part on it that was not installed correctly. Ebay & Kimo had a replacement within the same week - I was very surprised at the generosity & prompt response. Whatever policy allowed for the quick replacement, thank you. This is a good, responding, company. The UPS truck picked up right at the home the 1st drill. It is a surprising drill. After a more extended period of time of use, I'll revisit & update here & I am hoping it is great for years to come. I put as much information as I can here because when I'm searching to buy needed things, I depend on the accuracy of others to help me be sure what I buy is going to be good & keep working.Cons: The drill bit end type is limited due to the type of receptacle for the drill bits. Only drill bits with notched ends can be used - smooth circular drill bit ends cannot be grasped by the receptacle for the drill bits. Also, to register a warranty, the company must take a look at what is going on and fix it possibly, because I never heard back from them on the email to register the product & get 2 gifts that I qualified for & emailed the requirements links in to qualify. It would be nice to know what is going on.

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • The product may be more difficult to repair or replace than other impact wrenches on the market
