Thanks for your feedback
We have a lot of drills on the job. These always get used first. Great power, 3 speeds, locks when you stop. The way it stops when you release the trigger is great. It makes bit changes a snap. It's the best feature. I am buying this to replace one that has been dropped from 15' repeatedly. The old one still works but it has been patched together a few times.
