Although the battery holds it charge quite well, I found it does not have the potential for use as a drill. Even small drill bits struggled in soft wood. The first time I used it as a screwdriver was on a 1" wood screw. I got half way through the wood when it started slipping. The screwdriver bit that is supplied with the drill was totally chewed up. I tried another of the supplied bit and that too was destroyed in a matter of seconds. Having said that, the drill is cheap to buy and works fine as a screwdriver (as long as you use other bits and not what is supplied)It is a shame that substandard bits are supplied with a relative good tool.
