Powersmith Cordless Drill,
March 6, 2007
By Prem
from Parsippany, NJ
"I am a engineer by profession and love good quality power tools. Last year I bought this drill as a gift to my son-in-law, who is NOT a handyman. Imagine my pleasure when he called me at least 3 times in following months to thank for an excellent gift, which made his life easier doing house projects. Every time he used it, he just had to call. I think this drill is an excellent product at very reasonable price."

"I highly recommend this product. I purchased the Powersmith drill four years ago and it was the best investment I made yet. It still works like it is brand new and never let me down. I use this drill constantly. Thank you for an excellent product which made my life easier."

Powersmith Cordless Drill PS)805K,
October 19, 2009
By CharlesW
from Central Texas
"The keyless chuck is not effective in holding drill bits. I have very strong hands, but I am often unable to tighten the keyless chuck enough to keep a drill bit from slipping in the chuck.
Other low cost cordless drills I have purchased have not had this problem.

By KatieI
from Minneapolis, MN
"I bought this drill as I never owned one and needed a drill to hang pictures, take apart some furniture, and hang other things! It was awesome! It was everything I needed, held a good charge, and is decently lightweight!
I would recommend this to my friends who are in the same boat as me!

Low price, basic drill, few features,
March 31, 2009
By Mark79
from SD
"This drill is reasonably priced and therefore a good value. The largest problem with the drill is the battery charger. It does not automatically cycle off. Reading other reviews regarding the battery problems, I think this is the main problem.
So, if you can remember to unplug the charger when the charging is complete this is a great deal. Just don't forget to unplug it.

Quite surprised...,
March 23, 2009
By California
from Northern California
"I bought this "disposable" drill 3 years ago, for small jobs around the house. It's gone through that and more, including a room remodel. The number of times I've discharged and recharged wore out the battery, so I'd say it's gotten "heavy" use.
The bits that came with it were easily worn down, which is why I didn't say 5 stars; however, the drill itself rocks."

Powersmith Cordless Drill,
February 12, 2009
By papa46
from Portage, MI
"I bought this 3/8" cordless drill/driver around Christmas of '08. Just started using it about a week ago on a remodel of a house. For the price I feel it's a good tool. Batteries hold a charge well even when I'm driving 3" screws into old wood (the house is 62 yrs old). The clutch does not always release when it should causing screws to set too deep into drywall, but that just requires a little caution with the user and there is no further problem."

"excellent drill for all jobs around the house and yard. Needed a cordless drill at a decent price and this was the one. Drill is useful for any job. I have a motorcycle and it comes in handy when I am working on the bke. Do not have to get up and run back and forth to the house or garage."

"I
use this drill a lot around the ranch and house, I am very surprised

I am very satisfied and would recomend this drill to anyone for
use on any medium size jobs.

November 17, 2008
By Dudeman
from Las Cruces NM
"I bought this drill last year, the battery didn't last but a few minutes on a charge, what a piece of junk! If you have a good-quality old drill, you're better off buying a new battery for it than replacing it with the PowerSmith."

By ironpusher

"I purchased this after seeing the stellar reviews. Having used it, I have to say that it is merely a decent reversible screwdriver. If you NEED a cordless drill for any application that will require more than 15 minutes of driving wood screws, GET SOMETHING ELSE!"

Wasted Money,
August 30, 2008
By fdkrebs
from Idaho
"The Powersmith Cordless Drill Kit — 18 Volt, 3/8in. was a complete waste of my money. I like the accessories that come in the kit and the keyless chuck with multiple tension adjustments was nice...but was quickly disappointed with the battery life of the drill. It worked great the first 10 times I used it. I made sure to charge completely after each extensive use, but after about a month...it didn't have enough power to push a screw through a piece of paneling."
