Very Nice Drill,

I've only used this drill for about 30 hours over a 3 month span. It has nice torque for a drill of this size and weight and excellent balance in the hand. This is nice if you use it a lot at one time. The smaller BL-1815 batteries really don't last very long. If you intend on using the drill for extended periods, you will probably opt for the BL-1830 3.0 Ah batteries. Unfortunately, using the larger and heavier BL-1830 batteries make the drill heavier and also somewhat out of balance in the hand. Hence, I have a set of both battery types to match the project I am working on. I do smaller craft like projects on the ground and the smaller batteries are nice for these. But also, occasionally I do some construction type work on a ladder and the larger batteries are almost a must here. You don't want to run up and down a ladder or scaffold every five or ten minutes to change a battery.
