Pros: tough powerfull great tourque
Cons: heavy but who cares if it works and works

working building houses I use my cordless drill every day. From building decks to framing porches. This drill does it all. Tough and powerfull. It will take a pounding. The tourque is great yet it does have tourque setting if you are doing something small.
