Pros:
- Fast charge, long battery life
- Includes extra battery
- Lifetime battery replacement program
- Decent torque – haven’t had a problem with any screws or drill jobs yet
- Includes bag
- Size & weight are convenient
Cons:
- Hex chuck – only works with hex bits. Rockwell includes 3 special hex drill bits to compensate.
- You can buy a $20 chuck attachment if you insist on only using this drill.
- You’ll definitely need a normal drill as well – I use this one for quick jobs and driving only
It appears very expensive on Amazon – $116 on 6/25/15: http://amzn.com/B004U4BAI8
I bought mine for less than $50 at Costco about a year ago, and I’m happy with it for that price, but probably wouldn’t be for $116.
Pretty much nailed the pros and cons. I remember seeing it at Costco for $69 or so which is a good price for it. It’s a pretty convenient tool for light drilling jobs and can handle some medium duty driving jobs but I wouldn’t pay the full price either.
