Based on my observations this drill underwhelmed in the industrial setting. While the brushless motor may have promised increased efficiency, it lacked the power required for heavy-duty tasks. The weight was also surprising, making it less than ideal for extended periods of use..
Pros
Brushless motor for increased efficiency.
Cons
Lack of power for heavy-duty tasks, and a surprisingly heavy weight.
I made 2 mistakes when buying1) I bought 1TopTools from the seller2) I didn't take a picture after receiving it. The product is advertised as new. But when I received it I received a package with a broken seal. This was clearly nothing new. I tried to return it by stating the obvious. The seller went even further and reduced the restocking fee on refunds.
