I would highly recommend this tool to any technician who wants something portable for their belt, and a great complement to full size drill. It fits right into the drill holster on my belt. It makes up for it by being perfect size. I've used it for several months now and have had no problems with it. Great tool. I install security systems for a living and this compact driver is perfect for almost everything I do, with the exception of drilling anything larger than 3/8 into wood or metal. It has great battery life and charges quickly.
I thought the lith batteries were dying today but it might be the cold. I dont have that problem with NiCad. This works good and I have used it a thousand times in a year. It came on suddenly and so did this very early cold snap.Dont know exactly what to make of it.
If it can't do the job, I switch to a bigger tool. It also won't hold a charge in the cold. But it has trouble driving screws larger than standard drywall screws and it is slow when used to drill pilot holes. Nevertheless, this is the first tool I reach for because of its convienient size. I own a remodeling and cabinet making business and got this tool two years ago. The tool is great for small jobs where alot of torque isn't needed because it easily fits in my tool pouch or back pocket and bit changes are a snap. If I leave the tool in my truck overnight in the winter, it won't drive a single screw no matter what the size.
An AMAZING little tool. Never have needed to use it (even after it's set unused for months) when I had to charge it first.
I LOVE it. Have experienced none of the few negatives I've read.
Would hate to be without it. In any event, one more time.
LOVE IT. And, it holds a charge forever.
Perhaps my using it for "homeowner-type" projects only where others have tried using it professionally explains this phenomenon.
motor burned out after just one year. after the warranty ran out of course.
