unit does what it says it will do plus it has a light on the base that shines up to illuminate what your drilling. I signed up for the credit card and got the $30.00 free money as well.You need to add the battery and the charger Unit also has a bubble level on the back.
That said- it's still working and I've used it several times since on the same project. It drills holes. This drill is $10. In no way does it perform like an 18v cordless drill (nor perform like it looks). I'd give it 3 stars but in comparison to my 14.4v craftsmen that I paid $35 for (got a $10 discount for signing up for a cc) and got 2 batteries, charger and drill, it's not as good a value at $30 for charger, drill and battery. I used it to drill a 3" hole in a sheet of 20ga steel and it drained the just charged battery, started to burn my hand and was smoking fairly good.
A solid 18V drill for under 80.00. This drill is more than adequate for around the home or shop. The 2 speed function makes screwing and drilling easy and the 1 hour charge time is great. Battery pack also swivels making it a little easier to use in tight spaces.
It might be good for very light use, but within 3 months the chuck was bent on mine from hanging it on the side of a bucket (guess it banged against the side or something. I really couldn't tell you much about it other than that.it hasn't worn out, but then again, I used it all of two times before I noticed the bent chuck. Never dropped it or anything.first time this has happened on any of my tools).
