Better than most will need... [Posted on 2008-01-14]
This drill/driver is ideal for the heavy duty homeowner. My wife and I are constantly working on improving our land and home. This means fencing, 4x4 posts using spade bits, masonry drilling, and even metal drilling (both soft metals and hard metals (with cutting oil). This drill powers through everything I have put it up against, most with complete ease. Battery life is good, not the best on the market I am sure, but sufficient. The only drawback I can think of is the difficult procedure to get the bubble level insert off the drill. I don't use the bit size selector underneath so this really isn't an issue for me however.

The all metal gearbox seems strong enough to handle what most folks would do to it. I treat my equipment and tools with respect but expect my cordless drill to perform in all weather conditions. This one does just that.
