A true workhorse

My father and I recently took on the construction of an above ground pool deck. We used 2 24v cordless drills(only drills we ever needed for most jobs). Though both drills had the power to drive, the project ate up the batteries so fast that we were left waiting for a recharge to the point where it became annoying. And also we were only able to get the full power of the drills for about 70% of the battery life. Keep in mind this is a very large deck and we were on a tight time frame.

So i decided to give my father my batteries to use while i went to purchase this drill. I broke out my extension cord, and started driving in 4in deck screws like they were being shot in with a nail gun. This 8amp has so much power. And its probably the most comfortable drill I’ve ever held due to the placement of the handle and weight balance.

Bottom line: Best 3/8in drill I’ve used. Its cheap, very powerful and renewed my faith in 3/8in corded drills. When it comes to drilling tons of screws on bigger projects, I’ll grab for this in a heartbeat.

Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.
