Flimsy and Subpar for Industrial Use

I was expecting more from an industrial and scientific tool, but this one fell short. The kit was not sturdy enough and had issues drilling through thicker materials. The only helpful aspect was the lightweight design, which did make it easy to handle. Overall, I would not recommend this tool FOR heavy-duty fabrication work. .

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to handle for improved mobility on job sites.
Cons
  • Some users may experience difficulty with drilling through thicker and harder metals due to the smaller motor size.

Worth every penny

I like that it's compact and works well. In a short amount of time I drilled over 30 holes in a truck frame. I am very satisfied with this drill press.

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Some little things
