What Customers Are Saying

The product is a powerful and efficient tool for drilling into concrete, brick, and other tough materials. Customers praised its performance, with minimal vibration and overheating, and found it to be an excellent choice for heavy-duty tasks. However, a few users reported issues with the drill, such as it burning out or struggling with certain jobs, and some felt it lacked power at lower speeds, making it less suitable for delicate work. Overall, the product appears to be a reliable and well-suited tool for most home improvement and construction projects.

Works great!

Would Recommend

Purchased as an emergency replacement for old drill hammer. After 18 years, the Skil died. We were in the middle of a project, ran to Lowe’s and looked at all they had. Chose this one and it didn’t disappoint. Powerful, remained cool as we drilled 16 3” deep holes for the pergola leg install.

No more lost chucks or too-deep holes

Would Recommend

love the rubber chuck-to-cable-attachment - no more lost chucks! As an amateur DIY'er, I had never seen a depth rod on a drill before - very convenient and obvious value.
