It's getting messy here!

Dude, I just messed it up!. That's what my wall just told me. I was looking for a great drill set and found it without too much trouble. This is an amazing tool. The light that turns on when you pull the trigger is a nice touch for those hard-to-reach spots. It also has plenty of torque for the drill and if you're a small person it can twist your arm a bit and be quite heavy on you, but luckily I'm not. You should fully charge the batteries when you first receive the kit, but once they're fully charged, it's time to play and work. It's nice to have an indicator on the batteries so you don't have to plug them into a charger to see how much power you have left. These exercises can handle just about anything I've thrown at them over the past few weeks. I threw my other drills in the trash. The sliding screwdriver settings work like a charm and you can run it on the screws on the light switch and spin it at full blast, and with the "1" setting it slides when the screw is properly seated. Love it. It takes the charger just over an hour to charge the battery from a fully discharged battery to a full charge. Not that bad. My to-do list has gotten a little longer, but that doesn't bother me since I've had this exercise. This is a must-have for those who need a durable, powerful drill. The trigger is pressure sensitive and you can run it at 1 RPM if you want a setting of '1', while setting '3' will help you with complex projects where more speed is required. Settings 1-2-3 give you 1-high torque/low speed, 2-medium torque/medium speed, 3-low torque/high speed. The 1-21 bit/screw settings on the chuck give you even more control when working with lighter tools, not just plowing through your stand. In combination with a rectangular adapter you get an indispensable tool. The only thing I would do is add a small layer on the back and side for convenience.

Pros
  • 3 Speed All Metal Transmission, Top RPM: 2000
Cons
  • Slightly dented
