Better than I though,

"When I bought this drill I was in need of one like this for my old drill gave up. I do a lot of heavy work and my old drill couldn't keep up very well anyway. After I got my new half inch drill and started working it my son said this will take all I can through at it and more. We have to watch when we use it for I can find nothing with the power that this drill has it has a lot of power I cant believe how strong it works. I would not trade it for any other keep up the good work. Thanks"

1/2" Heavy Duty drill,
August 18, 2008
By MARKSLOGSfrom Duluth, MN
"I make log furniture as a side business which requires me to spin bits up to 2 inches in diameter into logs. (forstner bit) The holes I am drilling are usually 2-3 inches deep. Being that this was a startup business for me, I didn't want to spend hundreds on a Milwaukee or DeWalt and decided to give this Northern brand a shot. For less than $70, how could I go wrong? Wow this machine is impressive! It blasts through anything I throw at it. It's geared so low that it can handle just about anything. I've drilled 100's of huge holes and never once had even one problem. The forward/reverse lever is built right into the handle so switching directions is super easy- especially when you are buried in the wood and can't get release the bit. Try it out!"

"We use a 1" auger bit to dril out houses in the electrical feild, though the drill has enough power to turn it the housing of the drill cracked the first two weeks of use and a week later the handle completely broke off."

"You can't beat the performance for the price we paid. We had to put a couple hundred holes thru 1 1/4" wood and then thru 1/4" metal and it didn't get hot or strain the least bit. Definitely recommend!"
