This drill is a beast and powerhouse. It arrived with some charge in the battery and fired right up. After charging it fully, which seemed to take only an hour or two, I put it to work. Boy, did it drill. I tried different speed and torque settings and it blazed through each one without any issues.
What impressed me most is how substantial it feels. It has a nice weight without being cumbersome, fits very comfortably in my hand, and the motor sounds strong rather than strained or tinny. The controls are easy to operate and the chuck is simple to adjust. I also appreciate the included assortment of drill and driver bits, which makes this a useful set right out of the box.
There is no carrying case, but I neither needed nor wanted one, and I assume not having one helps keep the price down.
This replaced an older Ryobi whose battery had become slow to charge and quick to drain, and this feels like a huge upgrade for my needs. I'm an occasional household DIY user rather than someone using a drill professionally every day, but for ordinary projects around the house, I can't find anything to criticize. It simply feels like a solid, capable drill.
100% satisfaction.
