The jaws in the chuck have too wide & flat (smooth) facing and will not grip drill bits well, they work loose too fast/easy.  Most chucks now have a narrow rib to grip the bit, or have 3 narrow ribs per jaw (total of 9 ribs per chuck) to grip the bit.   The rest of the drill motor is fine.

I purchased this after my main drill (Professional DeWalt) was stolen and I didnt use it enough to justify the replacement cost... but unfortunately I think I went a little too low with this drill.

If you want to do basic drilling and placement os screws I think you'll be fine with this... I needed to do some hole-drilling (with hole-drill bits) and it completely fails at that that. Fails to the point that I think I'll need to buy another drill to do the job. :/

Bottom line - this is a great all-around-the-home drill for doing basic chores and whatnot... but if you ever get outside that realm at...

Nice Drill.

I'm a drummer. I like to keep my drums in an excelent soundning, and working, condition. This drill is great for getting into hard to reach places. I like the low power setting on this drill. It is important when working with my drums that I DO NOT over tighten. This drill is powerfull enough to do the work I need, and not powerfull to ruin my expensive equipment. I would recomend this drill to musicians first off, and It makes a great Indoor, household drill too.
