 PwerSmith drill |
| Review Date: December 30, 2009 |

| So far it is an excellent drill. The built-in LED light comes in handy. Love the lightweight and small batteries. Two downsides: 1.-no holder on the drill for a bit; 2.-it must have a cut off switch for high loads, the drill just stops completely if the drilling gets hard. |
up and running

| When i purchased this i had my reservations. But low and behold it was a relief to use a drill with power and not have to switch batteries as often as i have in the past. So to be quite frank i would recommend the drill to any one, thats looking for power and duration . |
Excellent Little Power Tool

| I bought this drill because my 12-volt Black & Decker cordless drill/driver needed a battery replacement which would have cost about $25-$30. I had no issues with the B&D but wanted to get something that was more compact with better battery life and since I had to purchase a battery anyway I thought I may as well go for something new. The PowerSmith has met all my expectations - light, compact, powerful, and excellent battery life. Like everyone has said the carry bag is kind of cheesy but to me it's sufficient. Plus with two batteries you don't have to worry about delaying a project. |
nice but hard to buy

| Very nice drill but hard to find a good deal on it. It works very well and battery last quite some time. And the screw driver unit works even better. |
Compact, handy kit to have around.

What I like about it: Compact size of the tool itself, and very reliable battery life; the two reasons why I dumped my old cordless drill/driver. Why are the batteries always so huge and heavy? Why is the thing never charged when I need it? Now I don't have to worry about it.
Why don't companies make more drivers of this perfect compact size? You have to go into the $200+ Craftsman stuff to get something this size (in my research, anyway). Trust me... once you pop a battery into this thing, you will roam the house looking for projects. It's sooo great. The on-board light is handy, too.
And the batteries actually do charge in 1 hour. From dead to full power, and they are supposed to hold the charge for a year. Perfect for those impulsive handy moments.
Kit comes with a Flat and Phillips head bit... so if you don't already have a nice bit set, you will need one.
What I don't like about it: First, the case. There are little velcro holders you can adjust inside, and most of those were snapped/broken upon arrival. They just aren't strong enough. I have enough left to organize the tool and batteries, but I don't expect them to last. So, the case may end up being useless, as I don't like the idea of just having all the parts loose inside it.
About the tool: the 'Powersmith' logo is just a cheap sticker, and will likely wear or peel off over time. Also, the safety switch, or what you might consider the drive/reverse switch, feels cheap like it might break or stop working somehow. I wish it felt more solid.
Also, potential buyers should consider that this is definitely a light-duty driver.
In the end, even if I trash the case, this is a nice deal and I still really like the tool. I'll probably pick up the handsaw from this line since I have 2 batteries now. |
