This is a great drill, but know what you're getting: This model has a big motor yet only spins up to 850 rpm (which is 1/3 the speed of a "normal" drill).  It can power-through most anything and is perfect for spade bits, auger bits, and hole saws. For all your other drilling needs, a light duty model is what you want. Bottom line: this is a great tool at a reasonable price.
