This drill is fantastic. Get a couple of 5A batteries and you're set for a week. It operates a little differently than a drill with brushes, which takes a short while to get used to. Drills with motors that have brushes are pretty much instant start and stop. Brushless motors take a second to get up to speed, and to coast to a stop. Personally, I really like that - no jerking or clicking when starting and stopping the drill.Torque? This thing could pull a trailer. It drives 3" screws into pressure treated lumber effortlessly. I've drilled hundreds of holes for wiring runs, thousands of screws for construction, and this thing just plows through the work. Best tool investment I've made in a long time.Again, pick up a couple of 5A batteries with it, you won't regret it - they last forever.
