Customer Reviews:

Good on features for consumer grade product [Posted on 2006-05-26]
***Downgrade to 2 stars for poor battery life***
***Amazon will not let me lower the # of stars rating***

***Drill only runs for 10 minutes before battery runs out when used continuously to turn a paint mixing squirrel cage (medium load application). Disappointing performance***

Initial review follows:

Pro's: 2 batteries, 2 speed transmission, fast 1 hour charger, 250lb's torque, Electric brake, solid feel, Torque settings and lock up work well. Nicer Case than most consumer grade tools of this type.

Con's: Handle / grip way too large for comfort usage / poor ergonomics. fair battery run time due to lower capacity batteries.

This is a 'good' grade consumer product tool, better than the cheapie stuff, but not up to industrial / commercial tool specs. I like this grade of tool because it's typically good enough to get small to medium sized DIY jobs easily done without the added WEIGHT or COST of commercial grade tools.

Having used this tool through a couple of battery charges (Note: Never compare run times for battery packs on the first couple of charges as initial charges are only 50% - 75% of battery pack capacity). Having said that, battery run time is somewhat limited. I opened up the pack and found that the included batteries are only 1.2 AH capacity. With the 2 included battery packs and fast charger to alternate between them, this is ok, but not great. The only real issue with this tool is the size of the handle which is larger than it should be resulting in rapid hand fatigue during usage.
