The drill worked fine . . .while the batteries lasted . . .which was about a year. Now I have another cordless tool that's worthless. What's really needed here are batteries that last the life of the tool. If you buy this, plan on throwing it out in less than 2 years.

This drill should've been labeled disposable. After less than a year, the batteries, both of them, barely carry a charge. While the drill was new, the thing was fantastic, and had enough included bits and pieces to make it worthwhile, and while you were running down one battery, the other was charging, making the effective life almost all day. But only a year later the thing is barely more useful than a screwdriver. If you know that your job is less than a day, and you don't plan to hold onto it for more than a few months, this is worth a sale price.

I purchased this set explicitly due to its price - being the cheapest 19-volt cordless drill I could find (at the time) online. This drill replaced a 12v Skil that suddenly stopped working.

Pros
I just got a chance to really put some hours on this last weekend - having built two 4x8 foot shelves to make a huge rolling cart for my workshop. I drove approx 200 some odd 3" screws before the first battery gave up. Then proceeded to drive another 100 or so on the second battery (with plenty of juice left) to finish my project. The drill seemed to produce similar output until the very end of battery life - basically dying quickly is what you want vs. having it drag along with poor performance. There are plenty of clutch settings and the high low selection really comes in handy. The chuck adjusts like any other standard tools free one - nothing fancy.

Cons
One small downside as someone else mentioned is the forward and reverse switch is backwards from every other drill I've used. Not a big deal just a minor inconvenience. The bits they supplied are a bit cheap seeming to be made of pot metal. I broke one within the first few hours of using it - probably why they give you two identical ones. The light that illuminates with the trigger is just about useless - shinning light almost 8" away from the work area. One of my biggest complaints is the charger. It would REALLY be useful if the charger could do its job then go into a standby / trickle mode. Heck any LED indication other than red = on would be nice. It just charges at a constant rate that can ruin forgotten batteries.

Overall despite its few shortcomings this drill has great performance, adequate features, at a fair price.

THE KAWASAKI 840110 WITH 2 BATTERIES IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS I'VE EVER MADE !! IT IS AN AWESOME BUY FOR THE MONEY !!

This was a replacement of the same drill that lasted approximately 3 years. The drill does well for small household projects but it would not be appropriate to use commercially.
