PowerSmith Maglithion MLDD12K2 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Compact Drill/Driver Kit with 2 Batteries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I like about it: Compact size of the tool itself, and very reliable battery life; the two reasons why I dumped my old cordless drill/driver.Why are the batteries always so huge and heavy?Why is the thing never charged when I need it?Now I don't have to worry about it.

Why don't companies make more drivers of this perfect compact size?You have to go into the $200+ Craftsman stuff to get something this size (in my research, anyway).Trust me... once you pop a battery into this thing, you will roam the house looking for projects.It's sooo great.The on-board light is handy, too.

And the batteries actually do charge in 1 hour.From dead to full power, and they are supposed to hold the charge for a year.Perfect for those impulsive handy moments.

Kit comes with a Flat and Phillips head bit... so if you don't already have a nice bit set, you will need one.

What I don't like about it: First, the case.There are little velcro holders you can adjust inside, and most of those were snapped/broken upon arrival.They just aren't strong enough.I have enough left to organize the tool and batteries, but I don't expect them to last.So, the case may end up being useless, as I don't like the idea of just having all the parts loose inside it.

About the tool: the 'Powersmith' logo is just a cheap sticker, and will likely wear or peel off over time.Also, the safety switch, or what you might consider the drive/reverse switch, feels cheap like it might break or stop working somehow.I wish it felt more solid.

Also, potential buyers should consider that this is definitely a light-duty driver.

In the end, even if I trash the case, this is a nice deal and I still really like the tool.I'll probably pick up the handsaw from this line since I have 2 batteries now.
