Holy ****. I found 3 drills in the house - a corded one with ****ed up chuck jaws (wouldn't hold a bit straight), a cordless with a dead-to-the-world battery, and another cordless with the most pitiful torque I've ever experienced. On top of that, every Phillips bit was rounded and would cam out of the screw heads. Those ****** tools turned a 10 minute job in to an hour plus of frustration.
I hear ya. I didn’t buy a new bit kit with the new drills last night. My old bit kit is about as useful as my old drill. Trying to hang new blinds up and it’s taking much longer than it should.
