I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

I took it for repairs in an apartment and with a reserve for the future: drill something, change the wheels on a car through an adapter, stir borscht in a plate, etc. But, I feel, this is not a tool for domestic use, but for loads in the tail and mane. It was possible to take something simpler, but I do not regret the money spent: you take it in your hand and feel every given for it.

Read other reviews. Complain about the unwinding cartridge - did not notice. I also didn’t see the beating of the cartridge (there is a 15 cm bit - at its tip, during rotation, there are barely noticeable deviations from the center). I consider a backlash battery, a big chumodan and other nit-picking to be untenable, since this is not an iPhone to show off in front of heifers, but a tool for trouble-free operation in dust and dirt.

Pros

1. Design. The best I have seen on the market. 2. Suitcase of the TStak system. Exactly the same I have from the DeWalt puncher, they are fastened together and you can carry both suitcases in one hand. It is also convenient to store, the suitcases do not slip off each other. 3. Power. It seems unrealistic for this size instrument. 4. Turnovers. Compared to my old hitachi, screws are much more cheerful. 5. Weight. Feels the same as my old hitachi, which, by the way, is 12V, not 18V. My father-in-law and father each have an 18V makita, so these are still fools - with such you need to swing your bitsuha in order to climb the electrical installation under the ceiling all day, for example. And DeWalt is light. Professional installers will appreciate. 6. Compactness. I really didn’t imagine that an 18V Shurik with such speed and torque, tearing off hats from self-tapping screws, could be more compact than a 12V hitachi. But the fact is: it is shorter by a few centimeters. And this means that they can work in narrower niches. 7. Price. Analogues from normal competitors are more expensive. Take the same Makita and look at prices for brushless motors of the same voltage, torque and RPM. 8. The location of the backlight and its brightness. Well, at least someone guessed to place it not under a cartridge, from which, as a rule, a shadow always falls in the place where it is necessary to drill / screw. Brightness at maximum fierce. I don’t even know why this is needed, but so be it. 9. Li-ion batteries. Now almost all competitors in the line have it, so the advantage is not so hot, but it will come down to the heap. Now no headaches with full discharge and subsequent charging as on Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh batteries. For work in the cold, of course, Li-ion is not an option. Indoors is perfect. 10. Charge indication on the batteries themselves. 10. Brushless motor. Due to this, the engine and Shurik as a whole are more compact. Batteries live longer. 11. Magnetic holder for bits. I thought it was nonsense, but practice has shown that it is a very useful thing. Bits hold pretty well.

Cons

1. Before buying, I read reviews that some bite the glove with a button. I confirm. We are talking about ordinary cotton gloves with PVC protector. If you use normal construction gloves made of suede and other dense materials, then everything is ok. It's not critical for me, but if anyone is annoyed, pay attention. 2. There is no turning off the LED backlight. A constantly burning light bulb in daylight is annoying. A trifle, of course.
