  • I've had this drill for about a year, and have been very happy with it... Great tool, would buy again.
  • I'm happy with it for what it is, which is a great tool for small jobs at a great price.
  • Although advertised as part of this drill package, this drill DOES NOT come with a battery charger.
  • Excellent! I bought this product because it makes assembly of furnitures a lot easier and faster. So far this product has lived up to its purpose!
