Gino Development 01-0173 TruePower Electric Close Quarters Angle Drill, 3/8"

Great tool

I found the drill too heavy for some smaller type jobs. Probably works great for big projects.

Worked very well until now. Drill binds. I suspect one of the bearings is failing.

I needed a tool to be able to drill pilot holes and drive screws into the inside edges of kitchen cabinet face frames to mount drawer glides and hinges, as well as drive pocket screws into interior cleats and glue blocks -- all tight quarters tasks. This tool did the job nicely.It was heftier (size and weight) than I expected (not a bad thing), and had more than enough power/torque for the job.It wasn't difficult to acclimate 'feel-wise' to the variable-speed paddle switch and overall handling of the tool, and the results were all that I had hoped for.I haven't used it for 'heavy duty' tasks yet (like long, large screws), but that requirement may very well be coming up in the near future when it's time to install the cabinets.So at this point, it's "so far, so good" -- a great value, especially for the price.

Purchased this little drill to drill out broken bolt in my engine. I did not want to remove radiator and grill to get one broken bolt out so this was the solution. Great size (I did have to cut off the drill bits to get them short enough to fit in the confined space!)Drill was powerful enough to drill through the steel bolt and has reverse for when the bit hangs. I tried to use a bolt extractor which requires drilling in reverse and this worked well as far as the drill is concerned - the extractor did not work but the drill performed flawlessly! The angle of the head was great and you can get leverage to drill through the steel. Highly recommend for light duty close quarter use.

It worked fine, I was sanding turned wood bowls, I used it occasionally on weekends. Until today it started spraying sparks out of the cooling vents and quit. Disassembled and found the brushes are completely worn away, absolutely nothing left, and the stator is worn down several millimeters.

Great tool for sanding wood working projects

I purchased the exact same drill, under a different brand, about 3 months ago. It worked well, until it suddenly stopped working. When I tried to find them on Amazon, they were no longer available. Since I needed this type tool, I found this one, which was a clone of it. I'm currently trying to change the brushes of the first tool, but haven't been successful.
