Craftsman 19.2-Volt Cordless 1/2-In. Hammer Drill/Driver —

Lots of torque in the low end, high end is a little bit slower speed than I was expecting, but still good. There is an automatic light which is a nice feature when working in low-light locations. The keyless chuck is very easy to tighten and loosen and doesn't require an iron grip.

One downside, I dropped the battery from about 4 feet onto a plywood floor and it cracked. Not a huge problem as it still works, but I wonder if the battery pack formula could be reworked to be a little less brittle.
