I have Bosch tools, Dewalt Tools and other top brands, but I have never had any work as well or last as long as the Craftsman drill I purchased. Sure I have had to buy an extra battery, but the toll has the torque of one with twice the voltage. Would never switch brands again.

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 all, just spend the extra bit of money and get a higher-end Craftsman drill... this one is clearly home-use only.

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'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....

I got this drill as a gift & i have to say that the drill does all of my work very well. It fits my grip, it allows me to use the drill for long periods of time because it is lightweight. The drill has many good features that helps you to do a quality job. Variable speed, Reversible, Built in level, + a led worklight for helping you to see that exact point that you want. Also has all the torque adjustments for all jobs from light duty to heavy duty. I also like it's looks. Have done many jobs without having any problems with its performance & durability. This drill is the best i have every had in my hands, to do all of my work. Buy one & you will see for yourself....
