I would not buy it if I was doing much more than hanging pictures and driving a few screws. Replaced it with the Mikita 18V Lithium Ion.
Decent power. Bought this drill and had it around for more than a couple of years.
I guess I overwhelmed it. Battery life was "ok" for a Home use tool.
Quick charge so next battery was ready before the other one died.The real issue I have is the drive stripped out a few months ago. I hate tearing up tools.
It will not last long with heavy use.
Do not buy this drill. First battery charger was recalled due to potential fire hazard. Replacement battery charger does not charge the batteries. The batteries are of poor quailty and will not hold a charge for longer than a few hours.
I purchased one of these as I thought that a 19.2 volt battery would offer plenty of power and battery life. Shortly after purchasing it one battery died and I soon found out that the other battery did not hold a charge very long either. I finally threw it away after about six months so I would have to purchase a decent drill.
I bought this for my husband who had asked especially for this brand. It was for his birthday and he loves it.Lisa SimsAlabama
The only reason I rated the Kawasaki 19.2 drill 4 stars instead of 5 is because you are not able to leave the spare battery in the charger for a trickle charge. The instructions tell you to remove the battery from the charger after an hour or two.Performance-wise, I would rate it 5 stars as it is every bit as good as the Dewalt 18 volt it replaced at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost.
