Heavy Duty Contractor Grade Drill I purchased this model instead of the cheaper DeWalt 3/8″ drill because I wanted something to handle the abuse I will give it. Used it to build a very large wooden outdoor fort and swingset for my boys and loved it. Had no problem with using 1 1/8″ spade bit to drill counterbores. Plenty of power.
Great Electric Drill This drill is a great drill. There are definetly cheaper drills out there, but if you want a variable speed drill from 0-1200 RPMs this is the drill for you. There is a lot of torque. The cord is heavy duty along with the chuck. The only thing I think could be improved on is the reverse switch. It can be easily bumped to reverse the drill direction and it is also small. That’s a minor complaint for an outstanding drill.
Great drill for the heavy duty jobs like screwing into 2x4s etc. Extremely well made and like the high torque motor. Little more effort with keyed chuck but for the tougher jobs like the grip strength of the keyed chuck
