If you need a drill for use around the house to put up shelves, draperies, etc. then I highly recommend this product. It's light (and not top-heavy) like many comparable drills and very easy to use. (in many cases, you don't need the chuck key.) The only quibble I have is that it doesn't work well with hardwoods. I tried to drill an oak board and it didn't have enough horsepower to do the job. Now if they could just do something about the satanic styling...

Very good, low cost drill

While I wouldn't drag this out to a job site, I bought this to have an extra (light) drill around the house and have been nothing but pleased. Very usable keyless chuck allows for quick bit changes and is more comfortable than others I've used. The speed switch is built well and it actually adjusts with some subtlty. Have dropped it a lot, built lots of deck furniture and its as good as the day I bought it. Recommended.
