    great for most applications around the house.
             
    I love this drill. A little heavy for my small wrist but it gets the work done in good time. I am especially enamored of the 20 V. Li-ion battery that holds and holds and holds a charge.
    Pros:

    It's power and ability to dial a torque setting for the job at hand.

    Cons:

    The fact that it broke down after 6 months of sporadic home useage. It has been replaced by Lowes.

    Excellent
             
    I picked one of these up with carry case and assortment of bits and tools for 50 bucks red tagged at walmart. Couldn't pass it up at the price but even at the normal 70 price tag it would be well worth it. I hear a lot of complaints about the adjustable clutch on this that prevents over torque. I find that feature to be of the most use to me particularly. I do a lot of smaller inside jobs with this gun. The fact that this will not over torque and strip out screws or over drive them into things is perfect. It has prevented a lot of problems I had with some of the other guns I have used that have harsh torque on them. If you want a gun that will be delicate enough for fine work this one is the absolute perfect and pretty much only choice for that. But if you want a powerhouse gun that is going to really sink a screw in hard you should look at other models. I have the 12v firestorm. That gun is a better choice for more serious work.
    Pros:

    Clutch prevents over torque which is perfect for more delicate jobs where over torque is a problem. All around great gun for light duty or delicate interior jobs. Works great for quick furniture assembly where power tools would normally cause damage. The price is unheard of for such a quality tool.

    Cons:

    You must buy a second battery pack. This one only comes with one and to me that is a con. Most good guns come with 2 packs to allow alternating between charging. A minor con considering the price point.

    Drill itself is user friendly: light weight, good power and easy to handle.
             
    Works fine as long as there are flat sides for the chuck to grip as a with a hex screw driver, however, it's worthless when a drill bit starts breaking through anything metal as the bit slips in the chuck. Then it's a chore to back the bit out and keep trying until the hole is completely through.
    Pros:

    Easy to use, strong for it's size and the long lasting lithium battery. Use a better chuck and it would be a 5 star product.

    Cons:

    Has to be the worst chuck I have ever used. Cannot tighten enough to keep a drill from slipping. No gripping power at all.

    Seems fairly nic cordless screw driver for the price
             
    I got this for light duty around the house and home projects. So far it has been very very good. The one thing that bugged me and made me almost choke was the 5-8 hour battery charge?!!??!!! YIKES! At least I got a spare to go with it but at $50 was almost what I paid for the drill-driver. Drilled holes even into the studs on lower settings without complaint and on lowest setting did my gutter drains without stripping. NICE!!!
    Pros:

    Seems to work very well

    Cons:

    Battery charge time... Last drills I have had all had an express feature to give you at least most of a battery charge in fairly short order say hour or less. This was a SHOCK. So if you have a big heavy project with lots of screws say like a fence you might consider this.

    Excellent Product for a Mid-Range Price
             
    I purchased this from Menards at $90.00. I was using an old Dewalt that burned out...finally. This gun was not the most expensive, but it is a brand that I know so I went for it. I have been using it just about non-stop for the last month. I build sets for children’s theatre shows and go from heavy to light use with it. This thing won't quit! The lithium battery makes it light weight so I don't feel like I am working out every time I lift it. It holds a long charge and is powerful enough to drill through multiple 2x4's in a row. It is an excellent gun for the price.
    Pros:

    Battery lasts forever (and it comes with two so you can constantly be charging one) Light weight Powerful Sturdy Design The charger automatically shuts off when the battery is charged so you are not over working the battery either.

    Cons:

    The only con I can think of has to do with the "Smart Select" function. This function is really only useful if you are drilling pilot holes for all your screws. Otherwise the gun does not have enough torque at the lower settings. I keep it on the “drill bit” setting for the majority of my work.

    Meets all my expectations
             
    I bought it to replace the older 14.4 volt Firestorm Drill. I have use it from light work to heavy drilling. It works great.
    Pros:

    It is a lighter product from the older one. Battery never loses its charge just sitting. It has a 1/2 in. chuck, easier to select drilling options, price is right. I will be able to use the battery for other tools such as the grass trimmer.

    Cons:

    I cannot find anything to dislike about this drill.

    Great Product! No But.
             
    I have had mine for a month now and It works great. I haven't had any problems with it. The battery works great for a long time and when it is done it doesn't slow down it just stops so you get full power all the way to the end of the charge. I like that it comes with two batteries and a separate charger which helps alot. The battery also works with our grass trimmer, blower, and garden cultivator.
    Pros:

    The battery, the smart select, the charger, the different tools that can use the battery

    Cons:

    Nothing it works great for me.
