Bought this drill as my first drill couple years ago, haven’t had any problems with it at all plus it’s got plenty of power for everything I’ve needed.
I got gifted this drill a couple of years ago. I also have a Ryobi drill, you can guess which one does better 🤣. It is so tough, you can even use it as a deadblow hammer (Just kidding - kind of)! It has power, is tough, has credibility on the job site (Unlike another certain brand mentioned above), and is aesthetically pleasing!
My kids bought me this drill to replace my 23 year old Dewalt that was still working even after being left out in the rain. I used this 4 or 5 times for very minor jobs and it started changing directions by itself. There are several other complaints in the reviews about the same problem so it appears to be a defective product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 8 months ago for house remodeling. Awesome drill good battery life and great quality.
My whole company for the southwest techs bought this drill and we use throughout the day everyday of the week. Battery lasts a long time and don't take long to charge, but the drive direction decides to change direction at random when unscrewing hardwareof all sorts, damaging most hardware in our field of work or the operator's hand while holding the drill not being ready for that direction. Multiple techs go through this with their drill and it sucks.
