Ideal for apartment building, apartment and home use. Hanging pictures, assembling furniture and other small projects make this perfect. If you intend to use this as a tool in your shop all the time, I wouldn't recommend this. This is for the person who doesn't use a lot of tools but wants to complete their own project that requires assembly. It's not as strong as Dewalt or some other manufacturers, but it's good for lightweight materials. You're not paying for the name, you're paying for the tool. If you dropped it or it accidentally fell down the stairs, I'm pretty sure you'll need to buy a new one. It's not a real man's tool that he'll use on the job if you know what I mean (port freight type tool), cheap but working.
