I didn't want to pay what Snap-on was charging for a similar drill so I started looking at different drill manufacturers. In the end I decided on this drill and was very satisfied. This is a great low speed drill, love the fact that it doesn't burn bits due to hand fatigue (trying to maintain a constant low speed for long periods of time). Use it to drill hardened bolts out of construction equipment more often than I'd like, making the process less of a chore. I'm a fan of IR air tools in general, I have some 3/8" to 3/4" strokes that are used very roughly and rarely cause any problems while I'm holding them. oiled.
