The drill advertised as 18 Volt, came through with 18 Volt stickers/labels on it but didn't have the weight I expected. I looked at the charger and it said "9 Volt Only" so I checked the battery pack. It said 18 Volt, but I cheated and opened it up. Only 9 Volt worth of batteries in it. This company falsly advertised this product as an 18 Volt drill, when I tried to send it back I couldn't get in touch with anyone. If I weren't in Afghanistan, I'd sue somebody. What a rip-off!

i got this drill 5 dayes back, and the first immprestion about it was it looks cheep, because of the kind of plastic they use, also the handle grip is not that good as it is in plastic not rubber, also i found that it is kind of heavy, also there is one remark about the charger which has 2 LED's one green and one red, both kept luminated all the time even after 10 hours of charging, even it was noted on the charger that it will charge from 3-5 hours only.
for the motor, gear and variable bush button they seemed to work perfectly good which is the most important thing.
extra battery is not available till now.
end opinion, it is good performer for the kind of money paied for, and worth buying for normal house use.

So called 18v drill turned out to have only 7.2v of batteries, a 7.2v motor and charger. Box and drill are labelled 18v but be warned all you will get is a 7.2v drill ie useless.

I purchased the Boston Cordless Drill about 2 years ago and I can say I probably used it 4 times, the drill does not power fully and I have to keep charging the drill every few minutes which is a pain in th @ss. I didnt pay alot for it so I am not upset just a little frustrated when I need to do my projects around the house.
