Sioux 8050ES 1/2-Inch 750 RPM Keyed Chuck Variable Speed Drill

The internal gears broke twice in the first few months. The first time it was fixed under warranty. I haven't bothered the second time. Previously I owned a 3/8 drive right angle sioux from the mid-80s. It was a great drill, but I needed the half inch chuck. Since then, snap on tools bought sioux and cheapened the internals of the drill. I'm a Buy American nut and I feel incredibly ripped off. Also, this same drill is sold under the Milwaukee label.

Gear train jamed and broke right away. Useless. Junk.

I am just ordering it so I dont know how it will work. I install cabinets for a living and need a reliable compact drill motor to get into tight spots. I went with the 1/2" chuck so I can use my hole saw arbor in it. I would rather have purchased a cordless tool (like the Dewalt) but they did not offer the large chuck. If I dont write a bad review later that means I love it and it was well worth the money!
