Just what I wanted.
This drill is perfect for raising the roof on my popup rv. It is the speed I needed to raise the roof with a roof mounted a/c. Takes 15 seconds from closed to open. I am really glad I bought this one instead of the much more expensive cordless ones. Very pleased.

good value for occasional use
Adapted this to fit a POWLAB drill press for use doing binding mounts on skis. The average diameter of the drill’s handle mount collar measures ~1.66″ diameter except for end closest to the chuck (where the handle attaches) which was raised est 1/16″ to secure the handle, which I’m not using. I had to grind (dremel) this off around the circumference to fit the yellow drill press ring which had a max diameter spec around 1.7in. This variable speed drill has an always-on button where the cord enters the handle. Unfortunately is lacks a variable speed trigger lock so I had to jury-rig the trigger to drill at lower speeds I needed. Giving this 4 star rating mostly due to the lack of variable speed lock.

Powerful
This drill is very powerful, and you can easily strip a screw if not careful. I needed a corded drill for sinking bolts into concrete, per the railings instructions that I wanted to install. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on one, as I own a perfectly good cordless drill. The price for this along with the powerful motor is a great value. I am glad I purchased this, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Surprisingly, this drill weighs a bit and requires two hands to operate for the average person. 5 stars for low price, quality and power.

nice and at a good price
I lifted it out of the box and it is heftier than I expected but that seems good because I bought it partially for power so it will resist turning when I start it. The trigger seems to have a small range for low speed but it’s there and I will be able to get it going slower when I need it if I’m careful. Seems well made and strong. (I bought it for my ‘mixer’ bit for an annual task that I just finished but expect it will work well for my need when it comes around again next year. Fast delivery but I should have order like one day earlier so I could use it this year.)I bought partly for the low price but only because it also had good reviews.

Nice drill for the price
This works pretty well. Seems heavy-duty enough. Some of these less expensive brands challenge the big names far cheaper. It is less than half the price and more than half as good!!!

Good drill
Only used it a little so far. Used it for hole saws when installing vents in a roof I was replacing. Keyed chuck is not as nice as a keyless. But this drill will only be used occasionally for big stuff so the chuck is good enough. It was cheap enough I would buy it again.

Good value
For price, pretty good value but it is no premium product. It is effective. No box. No bag, just a bare tool. But no more than I need a powered drill, this fits the bill.
