Review on πŸ”‹ Enhanced Electric Cordless Drill Batteries by Tony Suggs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Brad wood drill bits are all slightly curved

Update: you've contacted me and have been receptive. They sent a working battery. A spare bit was straight. It's okay, we already have other beats. Added star for great effort and constant communication; They tried to fix everything and definitely fixed the battery issue. First disappointing moments. For smaller home projects you will likely be drilling into wood/soft surfaces. All 3 nozzles supplied are slightly bent, everything is fine with the fast ones. This combined with the concentricity of the drill bit means you cannot drill a straight hole or drill the right size hole with curved hole saws. Now you need to spend more and buy more beats. Second batteries. Fit, don't fall out, fine. When fully charged, one lasts only half as long as the other. Hence the low quality control. Especially since it's important to have a spare, knowing that over time you're unlikely to find one. At this point, the entire drill becomes environmental waste. Third, the drill itself. Has little wobble/bang. Verified by video recording on graph paper. Not much worse than a budget Blackdecker or Dewalt. While these other budget drills are branded, US guaranteed and cheaper, albeit without the hammer function. Conclusion: tolerable. Recommend buying at full price? No, not with a bad battery and bent bits. Discounted coupon price, passable as you need to replace bent bits. Good business? Not really as you may have trouble just having a good battery and getting more bits. I'm surprised at the flood of initial five-star short-sentence reviews. With such total cost and hassle, it's easier to buy a branded kit on sale. While this is less powerful, it is easier to handle in the event of defects.

Pros
  • Drill bit
Cons
