So as a big fan of the M18 line I have to say this is a pretty good drill. I bought this for my mate who just bought a new house (as a housewarming gift). ). After examining it, connecting the battery and feeling its performance, I almost didn't want to give it up! I have about 10 M18 tools and one M12 tool. They have been great workhorses so far and very well designed. I have one of the old drills/impacts/screwdrivers (M18) and what surprised me about this drill/screwdriver is how compact it is. Really good size so probably easier to get into those hard to reach places. The brushless design provides a more compact look and feel. Lots of torque and does the job well, good thing it's a 1/2" chuck. Great product, highly recommend.
