Review on VonHaus Handle Variable Speeds Drilling by Michael Nard

(Three reviews here over time) I've had it for 16 months now. With the right support from something other than my hands, it's great. I need to allow some cushioning for those moments when the drill hits a snag. I added a spring at the end of the metal brace to soften those snags. I wanted POWER and I have it. (I give three stars for average.) (2nd rating) I've rarely used it in the five months I've had it. Today I removed the gears when I hit that nasty almost solid point and the bit grabbed too much metal. What are my chances of finding replacement parts? My EARLY rating is below: (I give 3 stars for versatility because it's AVERAGE.) Sometimes when drilling metal, when we reach the other side of the hole, the remaining material is so thin that the drill bit bends it forward. THEN the drill picks up too much metal, the drill stops, but the drill itself continues to rotate. And the operator begins to rotate with him. "My old 3 amp drill could have hurt my wrist in that unfortunate spot. A ten amp drill can break my wrist and give me a concussion walking around in circles. Okay, that didn't happen, but my wrist was injured and I had to stop working until it healed. -- My next task was to build a safety device. I have to patent it. The image shows a long handle that needs to be braced against something to reduce the impact energy wave. (It was difficult to find exactly the right size screws to fit the drill's three holes.) FYI, that force can drive expensive drills (see photo). Otherwise it's everything I wanted. I suspect the UK manufacturer will raise the price significantly once its brand is recognized in the US.
