How strongly 4 sources agree — expert labs and real owners, with community voices weighted heavier. Not one reviewer’s opinion; the pattern across all of them.
- Under $60 and comes with 30-piece accessory set (drill bits, screwdriver bits, nut drivers)
- Weighs only 2.09 lbs — lightest option for extended use
- 24 clutch positions protect hardware from over-driving
- 3/8-inch chuck can't handle larger drill bits for bigger jobs
- 300 in/lbs torque is noticeably weaker than 18V competitors
- Not suitable for masonry, concrete, or dense hardwoods
