Most helpful customer reviews1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.very durableBy Joseph LennerI am a ceramic tile installer and this was my first tool. I bought it six years ago and it has lasted until this past september. I have mixed thousands of 5 gallon buckets worth of thinset mortar, wall mud, and drypack mortar with this tool. It was built correctly and has one purpose and does it well. Excellent tool, period.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.superduty drillBy Derek TaylorI build houses out of autoclaved aerated concrete. See www.safecrete.com for more on that. I use this drill to mix the thin-set mortar in 5 gallon buckets and to drill 3-4" holes through the solid aerated concrete blocks. This is the only drill for me. I have two, one for mixing and one for drilling, that way I never have to change them out and can have different tasks going at the same time. I recommend to all our new homeowners who want to do it theirself that they get one of these drills. This drill is designed for serious power. The applications I have will burn up the best variable speed drill in a day. This drill is so strong it is dangerous. I have seen my drill put two guys teeth through their lips, one being my own. I was drilling through a concrete wall and ran into some rebar, ouch. One time I was drilling through a block and hit some steel and it jerked it out of my hands and the trigger was locked. It kept spinning until it pulled the power cord right out of the drill. Never use the trigger lock, it can get you hurt. This drill is fairly heavy, it needs to be. If you want a drill for screwing buy a variable speed drill, this is not the one for you. There is nothing wrong with the drill. You just have to know what you need. If you need serious strength and toughness, this is the drill for you.6 of 9 people found the following review helpful.Great mud mixerBy ToolpigIf you mix a lot of mud for drywall or EIFS you probably already have this drill. One of my guys got one recently and it is quite impressive. It has a lot more torque than my old Milwaukee Magnum. The only thing I would like to see is a variable speed switch. I think it would make life with it easier.See all 7 customer reviews...
