The product arrived today 3-16-10... Read the manual, charged the batteries up, in no time flat I should say.. Took 70 minutes to fully charge one battery. Awesome!
Anyways, I had one small project in mind, which was to secure my mailbox...to the post it was sitting on. The wood the post was made out of.. Was locust wood I believe. (You know those thorny bushes that kind of turn into trees). Over time the board attached to the post had become loose.. and I needed to fix it. Well with a manual screwdriver, the job sucked. (I'd already done it twice before) Anyways, went down with my new piece of equipment (Man toy) and zip zip zip... I was done in 10 minutes max. Of course knowing what I was going to do, and having a plan helped. But it was super efficient. What a time saver, and physical saver. I just popped the drill into high torque mode... (which there is a switch located at the top of the drill where you set this, which you set the switch on low for high torque)anyways it handled the 2-1/2" construction screws I was using like nothing.
See the big thing about my Mailbox is its like 70-100 feet away from my house... next to the road. I don't have an extension cord that long or the proper gauge. Even using all the extension cords I have.. still couldn't reach my mail box. Plus it'd be bad on my power tools from what I understand anyways. So this tool made a world of difference right off the bat for me. Glad I bought it.
My first impressions, are really good. I have used other cordless power-tools before, lower volts, and different battery technology, and this works just as good as any I have used if not better. Now the ones before I didn't own. This one after doing a decent amount of research I decided to buy and try out, no regrets.
Anyways, I will update this review later on down the line once I have used this tool more.
