I have one, it's not perfect but it's good for the price and I like it. The only issue for me is the chuck which can slip at times. But got round this by careful tightening and reducing the drilling speed.
It is possible to take it off and put on a lever type. There is a YouTube video of such upgradeIs the dial handle wide enough to drill out and fit a few handles if you wanted? Is it a metal or plastic handle
Maybe he had a Friday afternoon machine. I have not seen any of the problems encountered by the nay sayersI view'd a youtube video on the drill and was concerned about the amount of play it has , The person doing the video held the drill and could move it left and right what looked like 1mm , not good for precision drilling
Each to their own if you just need a drill its good value compaired to the Nova
Can I suggest that it would be a good idea to give an opinion on something you own rather than give your opinion based on the experience of others.
There does seem to be a few people who own one on this thread who seem to be happy with it. I think that their opinion carries more weight than yours.
If you're looking for variable speed, have you considered the "Lumberjack DP16-910B-VS"? I have one and love it.
