Review on ⚡ High-Speed Cordless Battery Charger: Hammerhead 2X by David Gibbs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for home use but not for commercial use

We have used a lot of cordless drills on our property. In terms of 20V wireless devices, we have the Dewalt, Skil, Craftsman, Wesco, Black + Decker and Ryobi 18V. Additionally, we looked at a few non-branded models that we picked up here and there, mostly for the infrequent use. The Hammerhead 20V Cordless Drill is basically the standard lightweight drill for the DIY enthusiast making small home repairs or assembling furniture. Honestly I'm a bit confused reading some reviews. From what I've read you might think this is a contractor's tool. It is not. It wasn't really designed for heavy use, or at least anything more than light duty. It worked great to install new lighting for our barn. It's smaller and weighs a few grams less than most of our cordless drills. Should I buy this drill? I like it but see no reason to buy it over any of the established brands in the same price range. Now its price is 53 dollars. That means you can buy a Skil, B+D, or Craftsman for three to ten dollars more. Dewalt will set you back a C-Note, or you can buy a 20V brushless drill for $60-$130. You can get a 20 volt Skil (a brand also owned by Chervon, like Hammerhead) without brushes for $10 more than this. If they offered this hammerhead drill for people on a budget for the same price as Wesco I'd say buy it. But unless they drop the price, I don't see much of an advantage in owning a Hammerhead over well-known brands of drills at the same price.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
