This drill is like a tank -- it can take any abuse you hand it, and keep on rolling.

My kit came with the drill, 2 batteries, a charger, and a case.

I've owned it for approximately 5 years. I have the same two batteries that came with it. When i'm working, I have one sitting in the charger, and the other in the drill. One gets low on juice, I just swap them out.

I've dropped my drill by accident off a 10foot ladder several times (hit the ground, not pavement). Didn't even phase it in the least, and it fired right back up.

Though my batteries are original, and old, they still last for hours without starting to gasp for breath.

I have put in all kinds of screws with my drill. I've drilled all kinds of holes. I've even drilled a door lock hole into an old door I picked up at a salvage yard -- the door was made of solid oak. The drill didn't even pause.
