Swpeet Powerful Speedy Hand Drill 1/4-Inch Capacity with 13Pcs Drill Bit Set, Mini Hand Drill Manual ¼ inch with Finely Cast Steel Double Pinions Design, Chucks and Grip Handle for Woods, Plastics

This is a great drill and works as intended. I actually used stuff like this drill as they were my grand fathers.

Everything feels pretty strong and druable. It is comfortable to hold while using. I would say it is of great value for the money spent on it. Recommended. A nice tool to use if you lack electricity in your area.

The drill itself is good enough, but the bits are terrible. There is an annoyance that the chuck key does not fit into the handle of the drill, so you have to keep track of the key. The drill bits are in metric, and they are not very sharp. My other drill bits fit the drill fine, and do a great job, but the bits that came with the drill don't cut very well. I will say the very first thing I did was cover the drill in oil because it felt like everything was stiff and didn't want to move, but after a bit of oil and turning the drill seems fine. If you're looking for something to make holes and don't want the spark from an electric drill around, this works great.

I used to have a drill like this. But that one was light weight and more flimsy. This one is quite heavy by comparisson. Yet it's not too heavy to handle. It comes with a chuck key which my previous one didn't have. The positive of having a key is that you can get the drill bit fixed more securely and there's less chance of the bit slipping while drilling. The negative is that chuck keys are a part that likes to go to the same place as missing socks. I wish they'd manufacture them with a loop or hole so you could tie them to the drill. But you can get a replacement key if you lose the one the drill comes with. The cogs on this drill fit well without too much play. Of course there are limits to what you can use this drill for. I would not use it for masonry or metal. Also if I have lots of holes to drill in one go or need a jig (like cabinet hinges for instance) I would get the power drill out. But most household use is a hole or two in ply, wood studs and drywall and this drill will get a hole into that before you have found, recharged or plugged in and set up your power drill. It's small enough to fit in a junk drawer, so no trip to the workshop or garage to get the "real drill" out. Someone else said the bits that came with it weren't good. I thought I might have to go and fetch some better bits from my toolbox. But I gave the ones it came with a try and for just a hole in ply and a stud they did a good job. Probably not for the ages, but drill bits aren't hard to find. My latest power drill purchase came with a bubble level attached to the machine. I think that's a very nifty idea and I'll see if I can find a stick-on bubble level that I can attach to the shaft of this drill. This drill would make a very nice gift for someone setting out from home into their first apartment or house. Lots of little projects I had put on hold till when I had the power drill out are now getting done with using this little drill.

I was optimistic that this item might be a hidden jem- a solid-looking hand-crank drill for a decent price! Well, my initial impressions are mixed.The drill is mostly solid- definitely all metal construction, which is nice. The Chuck is somewhat mediocre. The key that came with the drill locks every time you try to tighten/loosen the chuck. I tried oiling the gears and it only helped a little. Oddly, the same key works fine on another similar sized chuck I own, and similarly another key I have works perfectly on this chuck! I don't know! So I'm thinking their both a little bit "off," and when used together their errors combine. Hand tightening is a somewhat viable option anyway.The biggest complaint I have is that the gears rattle a bit when in use- I'm not sure if it's due to misalignment or just a loose axle...either way, it doesn't inspire that much confidence.That said, the motion is relatively smooth and fast, and once you get a drill bit to stay in the chuck, it seems to work okay.For the money, it works okay, but I'd rather use any of my vintage hand drills instead.

Nice hand drill. Works well.

This product is made from cheap material and does not work at all. The first time I tried it, the gears bound up and failed. Even when there's no pressure on the drill it will not work. Do not waste your money on this. The only thing I can figure is that the company that produces this garbage is hoping for fools like me who waited too long to return it, thus holding onto my money. Did I say this was garbage? Well, cannot say it enough about this product.

I use this to make books and have drilled small holes in book cover board and wood. It is very stable and the rotor freely rotates. It’s very fast and doesn’t chew up the board or wood which is important since they are thin. Creates a nice clean hole really fast.
