"This electric drill has adequate torque and a drill chuck that firmly holds drill bits. Cool running . For lengthy drilling jobs, this drill outperforms most cordless drills. The drill cord is long enough for most uses and stays kink free. The torque settings are helpful for driving screws when not drilling."

"I have owned this drill for 5 years and have put many hard miles hours on it with no problems. The drill is durable (mine has withstood many drops off ladders onto concrete and kept going) and reliable. My favorite feature is the sensitive trigger: it will turn very slowly and remain constant with minimum effort. Excellent value if you do not mind the cord. Go for the keyless chuck to make life easier."
