My husband has a lot of drills that does a lot of things but I bought this drill/driver to use around the house for mine small basic tasks . I love that it's wired, doesn't need to charge the batteries, and it's ready to go when I need it. It lies comfortably in the hand, it looks solid but light. It handles the old core pine, the rock-hard wood in my house, with no problem. I know very little about drill/screwdrivers but I love what I can do with them. It's neither too big nor too small; for me this is exactly right.
