My other 18V Dewalt drill has not disappionted me. Drives well in tight spaces. Great to get two batteries. The forward and reverse switch is very small and a pain to use for big hands. Haven't challenged it's power yet.
Purchased item to use in tight spaces where a standard drill would not go. Highly recommend if you find yourself facing similar problems. It works perfect.
The chuck spun out of round, and the motor was taxed and stripped trying to run a 3/4 auger. I tried 2 of these, figuring I might have gotten a lemon, but 2 lemons. I think next time I will look at the small Makita corded or perhaps the Hitachi corded or cordless. This tool never even made it onto the jobsite. The gears sound like they are cheaper quality.
Just testing in the workshop proved too much. Even a large Irwin speedbore proved too much. I am O.K with a drill not being able to spin a bit-I will back off and try a smaller size. But this tool just seems to strip the gears way too easily.
This drill was purchased to help in tight areas of cabinet constuction and repair. It has ample power and I would reccomend it to anyone who is considering adding a right angle drill to their inventory. It has been used numerous times and has proven to be a worthwhile tool. It is easy to use, and reached all but the hardest to reach places.
Just pack it up and send it back. The convential drill never sits well in my tool bag and it is hard to find a carrier that feels good to me.I wrapped a velcro strap around the base of the drill and attached a carabiner to the strap and I can hook it to a belt, a belt loop, or even a button hole of my old bid overalls. My hands are small and it works great for me.The low center of gravity makes it very steady while sitting on the battery base; much more so than a regular drill which is nose heavy.Unlike a convential drill, the trigger is over three inches long, and very easy to activate with any part of you hand.By grasping the drill just above the base and placing the heel of your hand on the back of the head, you can apply pressure to insure fast and firm application of any bit or driver you choose to use.The other thing I like about this tool is that it is easy to carry on a belt and fits into ANY tool bag or box that I want to use. Why is it that everyone that buys a defective tool must write a negitive review. You have no more idea what kind of drill you have than a person that has never purchased one.As far as durability, any tool can be damaged by dropping it. The fact that it is easy to use in tight places is only one of the many reasons that I love this tool.If you think that it is too expensive, rent one first and see for yourself how great it is to operate.After a month of using my angle drill, I put my regular drill on the shelf. Don't blame the tool.This tool is very ergonomic.
