As it is now, it's a non-issue -- it clicks into place and stays put just fine (not sure why some have had problems with theirs) unless you turn it.The addition of a light is kind of nice, but I wish there was a way to turn it on without having to pull the trigger; to have it be a flashlight *and* drill would be utterly divine.If this drill ever dies, I will be looking into another Denali drill to replace it (unless of course this one turns into a flaming ball of molten plastic or something when it goes). I've used it to hang things, drill things, unscrew things, screw-in things, dismantle things, reconnect things, and even once as a flashlight -- kind of.This drill has a pretty good heft but it's balanced so it's not unwieldy. This drill has been my constant companion since buying a home. It's a bit heavy, but I don't have any issues using it for a few hours.Unlike some drills I've used, this one stays put when I set it on the battery pack, whether I set it on a hard floor or carpeted one. For the price, you get a lot. Its balance is very secure (you can't tip it over just touching or bumping it).I haven't found much use in the rotating battery pack, but I am sure someday I'll run across something and then I'll be thankful for it.
not sure until I use this drill. may be too much more than I needed
I have used the drill and is is powerfull enough to do stuff around the house. This is a perfect back-up drill for the price. It is called a "Hammer" drill but it doesn't actually hammer, it has a setting that actually "grinds" the chuck and that is supposed to simulate hammering. If you are having second thoughts about buying this drill, just buy it, you wont regret it. I think.
I am impressed with it. In my opinion this is a very good home owner type tool. I have a collection of cordless drills both consumer grade and professional models ranging from a $10 18 volt NiCad model purchased at Menards all the way to the 36 volt DeWalt Nano Tech.Lithium Ion powerhouse and just about everything in between, and a many lower voltage models. The batteries that fit this are moderately priced, have good reserve capacity and have a nice "power meter" feature built in. I purchased the Denali out of curiosity, it was very inexpensive. This is very handy when working in dark locations, no need to carry a separate flash light. The rotating battery mount can be a little annoying, it needs a stronger "detent" to hold it in a centered position, but it more than makes up for that design shortcoming with the switch on the L.E.D.
I enjoy using tools. The chuck has zero run-out, the 2 speed gear box functions well and the drill seems to have as much power as any of my other much more expensive consumer grade drills. light that lets you use it like a flashlight independent of the trigger switch.
this is good quality, escpially for the price tag. for me i have employees who lose stuff every day, and don't want to give them great tools to lose. i am not disappointed though and own 3.Small Addition, turns out the first drill had an adjustment problem in the chuck, i got it turned all the way to the drill section, and it doesn't break away anymore. this requies taht you drill through hard material very slow. These Denali Tools are not for a Contractor, but for someone that uses them intermititnly. the rotating battery is annoying, and i have yet to want it to do that, but not a big enough gripe to say anything. the new drill they sent me has fixed this problem, so now i have no complaints. the other thing is that it doesn't have a true drill function like most other drills, instead it has a high breakaway point.
