Would RecommendPurchased 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 Recommendlove 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.

I might well tell a friend to try the cheaper Craftsman.

It worked
Would RecommendI only needed the hammer function to drill into a concrete pad to anchor an A/C condenser cage. I let my brother use my 1/2" drill some time ago, and he hasn't returned it, so this was the perfect opportunity to get what I needed at the moment and by a new tool. I drilled four 1/4" holes that were 2.5" deep in no time. Just the first use. I'm certain I won't need the hammer function much, but it will be nice to have it.
