Using to install blinds and curtains. Drill and driver all in one. Small to get into small spaces. Also using to install new door lock sets for old doors.
Drill work good. battery life great. Charging time average. Flip chuck could be better on the movement when in the locked position. Clutch setting seams to be a lot of difference just by jumping up a number. And where the battery slides into seams really tight on the one I got. Battery feels toy like. Not sure on durability yet
This flip drill was exactly what I needed. The ability to pre drill holes and then insert screws without changing bits or drills, or having two separate tools is very nice. Plenty of power for my needs.
A solid drill for those who constantly change bits

I work in cla cabnet shop, chanign bits is a constant. This Has saved me from using 3 drills on the job with different bits. I was loosing and now I use the magnetic part to hold the different bits I need. Downside is the length of a bit you can use and still flip around. I am a big fan of the flat top and the weight on the jottom and that it stands on its own very easily. It's a great drill and I am glad I got it.
Very happy with the drill. Used it on a couple projects and it worked great. Having the versatility to not having to change bits or have two tools is a big plus.
Handy little drill to have “at the READY” for small drilling and driving projects around the house and yard, when ya don’t want to pull out the big drill/driver case. I especially like the “Flip” feature. This setup would be ideal for a college student, or someone just starting out with their own power tools. Nice!
Good concept works as intended, but needs more drive power.
