Customer Review: Solid performance, for a 12v...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the few 12v drills available with a 1/2" chuck- that gives you more options for bits. The NiMH batteries are better than NiCad and are less harmful for the environment when they're disposed of. With any 12v or 14.4v or even 18v drill, you'll always want to have one battery charging while you're using the other. 12v batteries don't last as long as 18v ones. However, as long as you have easy access to the charger it's not too big of a deal.
I've mixed paint, thinset, joint compound, and concrete with it- no problems. I use it nearly everyday in my remodelling business. I've had it a year and just replaced the trigger switch. It cost $18 and a few phone calls over my lunch break to find a local shop with the part in stock. No big deal.
Overall, the best 12v drill I've used.
