Review: Brilliant drill - Awesome drill, working of timber frame building so requires the use of flat wood bits to drill many holes and feed pipes through, this drill has NO problems with doing so, it flies through the wood like a hot knife through butter, and the battery lasts ALL day with charge still left in it. Brilliant drill
Review: Highly recommend for trade customers - Fantastic buy. Highly recommend this seller. Want expecting TStak as not mention in add so lurched one separate and was still saving money. Drill arrived as described with TStak so returned separate TStak making it a very worthwhile saving. Considering this is the new high end 996 model so great for trade.

### ⭐⭐ Too expensive for what it is
*by E***R on 26 March 2019*

Admittedly a significant part of the cost is the flexvolt battery, and if it’s inclusion on this kit helped you acquire an additional flexvolt battery for the rest of your kit at a lower cost, then it would be fine. But it’s not! Drill is fine, but so is it also with a normal 18v battery...
