The first impression of the drill is very good. As a welder/fabricator I have used it for drilling mild and hardened steel with twist drills and hole saws. I first bought a CP 9789 and found it didn't have enough torque for many steel drilling applications. Also, the trigger on this drill was basically on/off, and the on was 800rpm. This one is made in Japan, has a decent Jacobs cartridge, good trigger and is comfortable to use. It is much more reliable and resistant to jamming in standard…
