This is a great drill - screw gun. I bought it as a gift for a son in law who lives out of town so when I flew in for a visit I could help him tackle a big shelving installation using 3 inch decking screws. We used it for two days straight and I absolutely loved it. It was well balanced and powerful. It reversed direction smoothly when needed and was easy to handle.I was almost sad to leave it behind at his house but it was his birthday present after all!
