In this category of drills, this one is excellent. Not many bells and whistles, very tight and solid operation and construction.
Very pleased with my purchase of the Hitachi DS10DFL 12 Volt Drill/Driver. This is a very powerful drill and very compact to get in tight areas. Would recommend this drill.
