Milwaukee Tool 3/8" Drill

Works Great. Lots of power He really likes it..

I'm a homeowner who is entry level when it comes to tools and DIY projects, but I can get things done when I need to. My 10yr old inherited cordless Ryobi batteries died so rather than pay the same amount for new batteries, I opted for this economic - namebrand, old fashioned plug and play bad-boy that could also give me extra power for tougher drill jobs. Upon unboxing, I found this guy a little un-wieldly as all the weight is in the front end of the drill. Also the instinctive one finger pistol grip I was used to with other drills didn't help. Instead, the drill is designed to be held with index and middle fingers on the trigger, and ring and pinky on the handle. Maybe this is standard for corded drills, but I figured other amateurs like myself might like to know. Once I started putting holes in the wall, this thing worked great. I could give it full speed, or spin nice and slow with the smooth trigger pull sensitivity. The chuck can be tightened by hand (and probably should be until you're familiar with the trigger pull). This drill is ambidextrous, the rotation switch sits over the trigger, and feels a little chintzy, but should hold up for household purposes. Overall I love this thing because it was under $100, has lots of power, but still handles little tasks as well. If I were on a jobsite, I'd probably pick a sturdier/pricier drill, but for my purposes it's great!
