** In the Box **

● 3 Masonry Drill Bits
** Finish, Build & Features **
● The drill is very sturdy and feels solid
● Its Orange in clour and good build-finish
● Power cable is standard 2 pin plug and cable length is around 2 meters
● Chuck is of 13mm
● There is reverse rotation
● Hammer function can be activated by a toggle switch
● Drilling can be Kept On by a lock switch
** Performance **
● The cable is only 2 meters in length; so you defintely need extension cord
● There is a rubber clench on the drill where the Chuck Key can be securely latched on when not in use
● The drill bits than came along with this is of very low quality. I purchased a set of Bosch Masonry Bits and another set of Wood Bits
● The Depth Gauge can be adjusted to work as a stopper while drilling to prevent from over-drilling
● The speed is variable; speed increases as we apply more pressure on the trigger. If you press the lock switch with the trigger pressed down, the trigger will lock at ON position until you unlock it
● The hammer function is useful while drilling on masonry or concrete
● The reverse function helps to release the bit if it gets jammed inside the masonry
● The vibrations are shielded to an extent; still we feel it especially while hammer drilling
● There is heat produced while drilling; but that is normal. I have not yet had the need to use this continuously for more than a minute.
● I have once used a long iron rod as the bit to drill a hole through 6 inch brick wall and worked fine
● If you master applying the right amount of pressure on the trigger, this can be used for fastening or unfastening screws, polish your car, etc. (provided you have the correct bits)
● I did also purchase '3M 1621 Safety Goggles' for protection of my eyes against any flying debris and dust while drilling
** I don't like these **
● This did not come with a case, and I could not find a suitable case to buy as well. Its not easy to store this without a case since insects may find their homes inside if kept unused for a long time. I have now reinforced the packing case it came in with Sellotapes as a make-shift case. Obviously, the price would not be the same if case is also included
● The power cable could have been longer. To drill a hole on the ceiling, you have to drag the extension code and that weight adds on to your hand fatigue
● The drill bits were of poor qualiy
** Value for Money **
● I have used this to drill on masonry, concrete, wood and PVC
● For me, this is serving my household drilling needs and is value for money for ₹2059/- which I paid in Feb-16 and rate FIVE stars
** Update after one year: Feb-17 **
● I have used this atleast once in a month for various tasks like fixing nail holes, polishing old granite sab, plumbing tasks and is a reliable workhorse
● Its been working fine without any issues and I am satisfied.
