I got these as backup drills for my regular power tools, mainly because I like the ability to use the batteries from my drills in my lawn equipment. I was impressed with how lightweight these are as 24V drills compared with my 18V drills. Lighter weight means less fatigue when I'm on a job. From DIY to building projects, I have been amazed at the battery life these drills have. My one critique (which isn't even enough to drop a star) is that there is not on-tool holder for extra bits, which I have grown so accustomed to. I hope that Greenworks adds this feature in future models, as it is really helpful when going from drilling to driving. Definitely recommend this for the avid DIYer, home owner, builder, or hobbyist.
