Pros & Cons
Pros
The drill bits hold very well when all 3 points in the chuck are tightened. With the chuck tightened to a point the distance is 2 15/16 from the tip to the top of housing--not going to beat that.
What it lacks in speed it makes up for in torque. It has reversing function, and plenty of torque. The transmission is smoother.
Umm, if you like quality tools this is one. It seems a little pricey but i got a great deal on amazon. Was going to buy one locally but had no luck in finding one.
The corded drill has the smoothest power transfer of any drill i've ever owned. Power is strong and the sound is like a well tuned race car. At 4 amps it is a little under-powered.
Cons
It needs to be removed from it's holder to be used. There are no safety labels, safety instruction and safety warnings. Amazon will be held liable if they were injuries using this product.
Boring 3/4 holes with an auger tends to bog down this tool 2/3rds of the way through a pine stud. Drainage/waste/venting often requires the use of a 2 7/8 hole saw. The chuck has a problem tightening on hex shank and large bits - the hexshanks are pro... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Well made, small unit does what i need
Works great for cabinet installs, i run two of these and i think i'll be good the rest of my life with this quality
Someone had pointed out that the power switch is very easy to accidentally activate, so unplug it when changing bits.
The cord is unusually supple and doesn't stick in your face when doing overhead work.
Price
Thought it was pricey but now i love it.
I paid extra$ to get the tightest head space ava.
And it's about 6 times as expensive.
If you dont mind the price this machine won't disappointment đź‘Ť
Shipping
Item was shipped fast and at a resonable cost.
I know this came from japan, but if they are sending it to a us customer they could at least put an english owners manual in the box.
Competitiveness
It is far superior than the corded dewalt that is also on the market.
This is top quality and far superior (albeit more expensive) alternative to the right angle extensions.
Obviously, a better drill would have been something like the 7 amp, low geared milwaukee 3107-6, but it simply wouldn't fit in that space.
We didn’t even consider another brand or model and just ordered another one.

The drill will fit into very tight places because the chuck does not protrude very far past the body of the drill

That is why i chose to purchase this particular drill

A power lock out mechanism would be nice other than rotating the torquespeed limiting knob

The drill is relatively high speed and as such is used as a 3” sandergrinder for fiberglass repairs and finishing

Otherwise it works great also the included instructions are in japanese so oi assume amazon is not selling the one targeted for the us market
