My husband and I needed to assemble our boys' beds and bought this drill to do it. It was charged when it arrived (how cool)! It's very light and I was worried about that as I have a carpel tunnel but to my surprise it fits my hand perfectly and is very light for me. This drill is for me and I won't be doing any big projects with it, so I can't comment on how it performs on heavier jobs. However, this drill was ready to use, it arrived quickly and on time and I highly recommend this drill for beginners like me.
