Review on Steelmax SM D1 Portable Magnetic Diameter by Keith Alvord

This is a good drill. The motor is not as powerful as others, but does the job. The guard works great and is the first magnetic drill guard that my folks haven't removed. Drilling into the end of a piece of steel won't give the magnet enough grip, so you need to know how to position the drill bit for the magnet to work. The motor will not stay on if the magnet is not held sufficiently (a safety feature that can be an issue for more experienced magnet drills).
