Are they any good ?


They are not great, but they do work. the problem is with the batteries and
the charging system. Like Christopher mentioned, no regulation on the
charging system so leaving the battery on the charger too long kills the
batteries, which are cheap ones to begin with.

If you are only looking for a tool for one shot the HF drill might be OK, if
you are a DIY guy and this is only one project in a long line of things to
do, then I would recommend going to the big orange box, buying a good
Lithium ion drill with a lifetime guarantee and long after the sting of the
price wears off you will still have a good tool and the piece of mind that
it will work when needed.
