[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drill is smaller and much lighter than the Ryobi I have. So far it did not lock the drill bit well. Drill bit slips from time to time. Not sure why but it's easy and lighter to use for sure.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Mr Old School.
We are sorry to hear of the issue you are experiencing. If your bit isn't secure in the drill, examine the chuck. Normal wear and tear can compromise the chuck's ability to hold the drill bit. To install the bit: 1. Push forward / reverse switch in "neutral" position to lock the trigger. 2. Turn the chuck counter-clockwise to open. 3. Tilt the machine upwards to keep the bit from falling out 4. Put the bit into the opening of the chuck. 5. Make sure that the bit is centered, then turn the chuck clock-wise to tighten. We have a assembly and user video. You can check it out here: (https://youtu.be/d9kX_02lRu0) If you are using the drill on wood we recommend, for maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling. When using on wood Operate the machine at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material. We hope these tips help provide a better user experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been very happy with all of the line of products that I have purchased. When I decided to choose cordless tools for the yard it just made sense to add a cordless drill.
