I have had no trouble with this mag drill. It does just what it is supposed to do. The only thing I would change is it would be nice if the feed handle could be moved to either side for close quarter operation. The machine holds securely and cuts great. The drill chuck could have been a little better quality. But it was nice to include it with the package and the case is great. Overall I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others needing a mag drill.

OK, I am impressed. Powerful motor, strong magnet, easy to use. I have cut about 50 holes so far in 1/4 and 3/8 and 1/2, and in these thicknesses it literally cuts a perfect hole in 15-20 seconds, with no burrs to clean. One pass and done. No more changing to several progressively larger bits for just one hole like I do with a drill press. I just built a 3-point tractor bucket/scoop/carryall and needed about 30 3/4in precision holes, which would have taken me days and lots of bits with a drill press. But instead I used the mag drill and ONE 3/4 annular cutter. Saved me sooooo much time. Their website actually has several parts for this drill that you can buy if you have any problems with it down the road. AND the company actually answers their phone, with a real person. You can see it in action if u search it on u-tube. My only regret is I didn't buy this tool a long time ago LOLRead full review

A lot better quality than I expected. I Have drilled 563-1/2" holes in 1/2" and 1" plate one after the other and I took no account of duty cycle, I had no issues! Great buy. 2 speed would be nice, about 1/2 as fast for 2nd gear.

Have drilled hundreds of holes with a Hougen mag drill and was very surprised by the this drill,first job out of the box was 200 9/16" holes in 3/8 plate and this unit was flawless,my concern when buying it was 2 customers who had out of round arbors,this one was as balanced as could be and cut smooth and straight,the other comments about it being noisy are petty,its a time saving power tool,wear ear plugs
