This drill is a light enough drill that anyone can use it, and it's budgeted for those small home projects. This would make a good gift for a mom or sister that doesn't want a heavy or overpowering drill. The cordless feature is the best part. It allows for easy and quick use of the drill. The list of jobs for the home is endless such as bath fixtures, frame hanging, putting together any kind of project with bags of screws.

I bought this cordless tool for its weight, size, and flexibility. Power, when it worked, was OK. Unfortunately the battery life is poor and the rechargeable cartridges lose their charge quickly so I'm continually stuck with a dead drill--not a good thing after low-crawling to the far end of an attic to drill a couple of holes drive a couple of screws...

I'm finally considering it a loss, and am off to research consumer sources for a more reliable, longer-life tool....

I bought the keyed version about 5 or 6 years ago. It provided good service, so good that I didn't have to buy a new drill in 6 yrs; however, the batteries do drain too fast and are quite expensive (altough the life of the batteries was 6 yrs!!!). I'm considering on buying a new 9.6 V cordeless Black and Decker Drill for almost the same price as the batteries though ...
