I haven't handled a tool that felt like this since I was a little kid in the late '70s and early '80s and it bugs me that the higher amp drills are keyless and put the side-handle in such a questionable location. Mine has had no problems with anything I've thrown at it thus far. I like that the keyless chuck guarantees a firm hold on the bits, and the side handle is rock solid when screwed in and doesn't come loose easily until you want it to.
