Heavy duty packing, arrived in perfect condition. Was just as advertised, no surprises pro's: variable speed seems good, fully adjustable from top speed to zero. Torque seems good, reverse will be handy but haven't really used it yet. Quick Chuck seems to hold pretty good, time will tell how it holds up. First impression is good. Drill bit Chuck is good to 5/8 which is more than expected, bites down to less than 1/8. Adjustabillityi is easy for moving up for the drill Chuck, stays solid. Cons: magnet is marginal on thin materials. Tried it on 1/8,3mm,sheet and it wanted to walk sideways. Fairly common in many brands ,when I went to heavier plates it was fine. If you turn off the magnet without stopping the motor first, the motor will start when the mag is turned back on. This COULD be a safety hazard for a new or distracted user. There's no provision for containing the bits and pieces that come with it, you will need to get a box on your own for them. A case for the drill would be great too. I realize that it would raise the price, but in my opinion it's worth it. All in all it seems a good value and a handy tool of reasonable quality
