Great Corded Drill [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I bought this drill because I was tired of my heavy duty cordless drills being dead and having to wait for them to charge to use them. This is a basic 6 amp corded drill with a good jacobs chuck and foward and reverse gears. It comes with a hard shell case for storage. For the price it has held up to my expectations.

Powerful drill with easy to use, good-gripping chuck. Bubble level in handle helps to drill vertical or horizontal holes. Speed control is easy to use. The one I got is a bit wobbly, the chuck center isn't quite in-line with the motor or shaft center; so when I use a long bit, the whole unit wobbles quite a lot. I've broken a few bits because of this.

I am very pleased with the quality and performance of the drill. The variable speed trigger is sensitive when using at a very low speed, but with practice one quickly becomes adapt at this. I really like the 2 way level feature for maintaining straight drilling rather then just guessing.
The case is a nice item for storing when not in use or for transporting to job site.
Fantastic tool for some operations [Posted on 2008-02-29]
Being my first power tool, I have put this drill through its paces to stunning success. This drill has done duty as the main household drill, a contractors drill driving lag screws 12 hours a day for several weeks, and now, it serves as a powerful tool in my wood shop.
This tool is tough. Its been dropped down stairs, on concrete and asphalt, from tops of ladders, its been banged around, beaten up, and never once, has it ever missed a beat. I swear I could run my car over this thing, and still not break it. This tool will last you for a very long time no matter the paces you put it through. Its powerful enough to handle almost any job you could ever ask it to do, and it wont even break a sweat doing it. The ratcheting chuck will hold any drill bit tight from 1/16" to 3/8" without any slippage. It powers through wood, masonry, and concrete. Shoot, if this drill were a person, it'd be Goliath in a David sized package.
This tool does have some problems associated with it. This Drill is meant for drilling, and driving, but not much else. There is no such thing as slow and steady with this drill, its either stop or go at 2500 rmp's. This drill is great for those people who feel close counts, but for those who feel the need for precision, this drill is not for you. It is all but impossible to drive #4, #6, and #8 wood screws without either stripping the daylights out of them, or torqueing the heads right off. As for noise level, Dragracers aren't known to be quite, and neither is this drill.
All and all, this drill has all of the power you could ever ask in a drill. The lack of a variable speed function severely limits the drills versatility forcing it to be a specialized piece of equipment in your shop. Given the chance to purchase this drill or another drill, I'd still purchase this one.
Worth Buying [Posted on 2008-04-07]
A good buy. Has more power than I anticipated, with little or no vibration. A bit heavier than I thought it would be, but OK. Does not come with drill bits, so I subtracted 1 star.
