Title: Lever binds half way down
Review: Upon reading all the reviews on this both good and bad, it is a mediocre product. I picked mine up from a woodworking store 5 or 6 years ago and had no issues with packaging and assembling per everyone elses problems. My issues were the lever would bind half way down while trying to drill through and once I started drilling it was rather tough going. After many mortises the piece where the lever connected to the motor broke into pieces and it did take quite a while to get a replacement. I do agree that the hp is not quite enough for drilling through hard woods like maple or oak. Many mortises have been made since my purchase but I just deal with with the binding...you get what you pay for I guess.
Is the review positive or negative?
