It meets all expectations. Nothing significant will disappoint you with one caveat. There is a small light that comes on when the trigger is slightly depressed. It does not light the tip area of the driver as it should.
It has plenty of power and balances well in the hand. The LED light is also a nice enhancement for dark corners in tight workplaces.
I dropped it many time. I've drilled thou hardened steel with 3/8 bits and it's never failed me yet. It's been a great companion iv used allot of 18v before and this thing is much eraser on the arm.
I like the light weight and power of this drill. I prefer it over the Dewalt 1/2 " model DC980 that I own.
