Good power
4 Stars
Good power
This drill had great power while drilling 78 one inch holes with a Forstner bit to build a pegboard for my granddaughter’s nursery. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that the bit would loosen occasionally while drilling. With tool-free tightening, I didn’t think I got bit sufficiently secured.
