Favorite tool
Rating: 5
Great tool I just used it on a electrical rough in.I could not be happier. This to is great for drilling overhead. The tool is light enough you can drill through floor joists one handed with no ladder. A word of caution if you do not have the new Red Lithium 4.0 or 5.0 batteries you will not like this tool. The older batteries will not power it. It will not have the needed torque and it will be dead after a few holes. I tried the old batteries it was a joke.

I am an electrician and own a corded superhawg. I love it and when my distributor showed me this, I bought it. I had a job to do so I used it and was impressed because of its light weight and versatility. I only wish I had bought the quick change one. I can definitely see where the new 9.0 batteries would benefit this. I drilled about 40 1-3/8" holes on 2 and a partial batteries.

I'm an electrician. I do mostly remodels & rewires of old homes. This drill has good power, but can be bogged down with older harder framing. Nice that I don't have to drag a cord around with me. Drills many holes on a single charge. Glad that I bought it & wood recommend it to others.
