Kawasaki 840107 Black 18-Volt 20-Piece Cordless Drill Kit

This drill is a waste of money, picked it up approx. 1 year ago at a costco for around $39, seemed like a good deal, came with two batteries and a charger. I believe this drill is made by Alltrade, with a kawasaki label. This tool has been used little and is pathetic,batteries, both of them last a very short time, clutch is already slipping, my 14 y/o 9.6v Makita has seen much battle and still performs far superior to this tool. I have recently switched to using Ryobi and the one + system, which I have been very happy with, you can interchange the 18V batteries Ni Cd or lithium with any tools in the 18V range. Just completed a 700 sq ft deck project using the Ryobi impact driver, absolutely brilliant tool, tons of power and with 2 batteries, never had down time. Bottom line, do not waste your money, Ryobi is not a high end, maybe a little more, but far superior to this piece of junk.

I have owned one of these drills before and it works like a champ. The weight and balance is perfect for a woman and it's easy to find, due to it's green accents, in the bottom of the tool bucket or in a pile of other stuff. So I thought I'd buy another one but within a couple of uses the battery charger got hot, started to smell and wouldn't charge the battery. It's just too hard to find a new charger without going on-line so I opted to return it and go with something that's available in my local hardware store.

It's a great drill and if I could get a reliable charger I'd keep it.

If I had known this drill was going to die so quickly I would have never bought it. Ok for very small jobs but don't expect it to maintain power long enough to even install a shelf
