 you get what you pay for November 20, 2009
C. Hodes (Austin, Texas United States)
It's a very affordable drill set.
Nice case, good accessories, and two batteries make it a good value.
The drill works as good as any I've owned.
But, the batteries are particularly bad.
The are NiCads and the won't hold a charge for 24-hours.
The are good for about 10-15 2" screws and then exhausted
It think that these are either the absolute worst batteries I've ever encountered, and I've been using them for years!
My suggestion is that you had better plan to have the batteries upgraded at a battery store, which will cost you about $45 per battery pack. I've done that for my DeWalt, which was not much better and now I can at least do more work. However, I suspect that this drill drains the battery, some how, because it really should hold a charge for a couple of week. Other NiCads do, so I'm very disappointed.
But, that's why this kit is cheap! It's great for kids and very, very light duty work.
I dropped mine from a roof top 3 times last year. The battery was kicked out, but it's fine otherwise. Unexpected durability.
Switch fried fast October 28, 2009
Aleksey Suvorov
Good tool for its price but got switch fried after a year of usage. Was using it one night, woke up in morning but it did not work right. It got jerky if turned on and stopped completely in few second. Both batteries are still in good shape though. Thinking to find either spare parts for the switch or buy used one for parts.
Drill Good . . .Batteries Not September 4, 2009
Bill S. (Girard, PA United States)
The drill worked fine . . .while the batteries lasted . . .which was about a year. Now I have another cordless tool that's worthless. What's really needed here are batteries that last the life of the tool. If you buy this, plan on throwing it out in less than 2 years.
Don't plan on using it long July 3, 2009
Brian Long (Ogden, UT USA)
This drill should've been labeled disposable. After less than a year, the batteries, both of them, barely carry a charge. While the drill was new, the thing was fantastic, and had enough included bits and pieces to make it worthwhile, and while you were running down one battery, the other was charging, making the effective life almost all day. But only a year later the thing is barely more useful than a screwdriver. If you know that your job is less than a day, and you don't plan to hold onto it for more than a few months, this is worth a sale price.
 pretty darn good bang for the buck April 2, 2009

I purchased this set explicitly due to its price - being the cheapest 19-volt cordless drill I could find (at the time) online. This drill replaced a 12v Skil that suddenly stopped working.
Pros
I just got a chance to really put some hours on this last weekend - having built two 4x8 foot shelves to make a huge rolling cart for my workshop. I drove approx 200 some odd 3" screws before the first battery gave up. Then proceeded to drive another 100 or so on the second battery (with plenty of juice left) to finish my project. The drill seemed to produce similar output until the very end of battery life - basically dying quickly is what you want vs. having it drag along with poor performance. There are plenty of clutch settings and the high low selection really comes in handy. The chuck adjusts like any other standard tools free one - nothing fancy.
Cons
One small downside as someone else mentioned is the forward and reverse switch is backwards from every other drill I've used. Not a big deal just a minor inconvenience. The bits they supplied are a bit cheap seeming to be made of pot metal. I broke one within the first few hours of using it - probably why they give you two identical ones. The light that illuminates with the trigger is just about useless - shinning light almost 8" away from the work area. One of my biggest complaints is the charger. It would REALLY be useful if the charger could do its job then go into a standby / trickle mode. Heck any LED indication other than red = on would be nice. It just charges at a constant rate that can ruin forgotten batteries.
Overall despite its few shortcomings this drill has great performance, adequate features, at a fair price.
