Customer Reviews:

Was nice until the switch burned out [Posted on 2007-03-04]
I picked one of these up in a local warehouse club last year, around $40, and used it fairly extensively for a couple of months to install wood floors. It was a compact and well balanced unit, and I liked the way it felt in the hand. Plenty of power for a basic drill/driver, and good battery life.

But after about three months, the switch burned out, and it would no longer work. I dissected it to see if I could fix it, but the switch was shot. I have been unable to find a parts supplier online or otherwise. Kawasaki's sites do not even acknowledge that they make such a product, so I suspect it is manufactured in China and imported under the K label. The reviewer below indicates it is made by AllTrade, but their website says send it back to them, and does not list the replacement parts for sale. Shipping and repair costs will likely be more than the unit originally cost.

It was a nice unit while it lasted, and I may be able to resurrect it with a homemade switch (sacrificing variable speed control).

But based on my experience, I would recommend you spend a little more to get one from a reputable tool manufacturer that stands behind its products.

Not bad for the price [Posted on 2007-03-27]
If your buying this to be a work horse I probably wouldn't bother, but if your a home handy man who needs a nice cheaply priced drill this is it. I've been in the construction business for over 30 yrs and have always bought heavy duty drills. My drills still work good but having to spend big dollars on a battery just dosn't make sense to me any more. I bought this drill at Christmas and have used it on and off for the last three months. So far it has plenty of power and is a buy for the money. The bits that came with are also pretty good in quality. So for a forty dollar drill I say go for it.

Excellent tool [Posted on 2007-06-06]
I used this cordless drill for one year for different home projects, no problems so far. Solid construction. Two batteries are very convenient, charging is rather quick. Included bits are high quality. Excellent tool.

Great for the money [Posted on 2007-07-18]
My wife got me this in place of a more expensive unit that I didn't think was necessary. This unit has been great until YESTERDAY. It still works great, even the batteries seem good, but now when I squeez the trigger all the way in the drill stops and I have to let off a SMIDGE> Sounds like there is a SPED SWITCH problem based on the previous review.

Great Drill [Posted on 2007-07-21]
I have had this drill for about 6 months of moderate use and I have no complaints. Great value. I love having two battery packs - no power outage if the first one needs recharged. Couldn't have asked for more in this price range.
