Great Product For the Price

Great hammer drill. If you only need a hammer drill for use once in a while this is perfect. Quality is good and has very good power.

Started burning the first time I pulled the trigger. Garbage! Lasted less than 24 hours...

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021

I had owned the drill for about a month, but never used it. So, the first time I put a bit in it, I didn't expect to smell the drill burning, but I sure did. I passed it off as "maybe the brushes were new", but after attempting to drill 1 hole, I knew better. I hate to tell you, but I never finished drilling the 1 whole. The drill was trashed. Remember folks, cheap things come with a cheap price. Pay a little more and get something that will last you.

Jimmy B My brother used a gun to his head to end his life. Yes, he was sad, depressed and became an alcoholic, and nothing diverted him from the sadness of losing his wife to cancer. I found John's book a moment in reality for those who need to hear the cold, hard truth. His book is not an answer, but a suggestion for what could occurr. I experienced a NDE very young in life and in doing so the experience formed a greater appreciation to why I am still here. People who have lost the desire to continue in their life's passage could find this book k helpful, though nothing can bring back your loved one, even they can not do it themself, once they destroy their body to return to.lpful

Good value for the money

Lots of torque! Very powerful for 1/2" drill. If held improperly it could break your wrist. Use with two hands. When first used there was a burnt wire smell coming from the cooling fan area.

Not quite as described in Operator's Manual

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021

I just received this Hammer Drill and have not yet put it to full use. What I have discovered so far is that the Lock-On Button does not quite work as described. To quote the manual: "It allows you to continuously operate the drill at a preset RPM without holding down the trigger switch". Not quite factual. You can only do this at maximum RPM and not at any preset lower speeds. The reason for this is apparently because to operate the drill continuously - as in my drill press shown on photo - you must "pull the trigger switch back fully, depress the Lock-on button and release the trigger". That, of course, means maximum RPM.
I will add an update once I have put this drill to use.
UPDATE: I have discovered that this drill cannot be securely clamped to a drill press because the collar used for that purpose has a tapered surface. This could cause the drill to loosen during use and thus risk an injury. Consequently I have returned the drill.

He had to drill into cement to put up a railing and he said the vibrating back and forth mad it so much easier.
