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.

This item is a solid addition to any tool box.Hard working and productive. A touch heavy but worth the girth.

Amazing power, overkill for the current project. But so very glad I got this drill for the future!! Very powerful, it's kinda heavy, but all big power drills are. easy to handle while drilling! I would buy again

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!!!

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.

Works well right out of the box and does seem to be heavy-duty. It is a little larger and heavier than a standard 3/8" drill, but that's what they are selling, a heavy-duty 1/2" drill for heavy-duty use! I needed this to drill through double landscape timbers and it cut through them like butter. A larger drill will be a bit louder than a standard one, so please expect that.I read many negative comments about this being too big, too heavy and too loud, but what do you expect? IT'S A HEAVY-DUTY DRILL!!!Bottom line, it does what you need a big drill to do. Don't buy it if you only need a small, handy-man power drill!

Drill is as described. I have had multiple skil tools and they are always sufficient for a hobbiest like me. But this adjustable handle, 90 degrees from front of drill body, will NOT tighten enough to hold fast. I have needed it to work for some woodworking and I am afraid it is going to break my wrist because it doesn't hold. I you need a lot of torque, move up to a better drill.
