Better then I could have asked for!
I’ve always believed in the mindset of “you get what you pay for” when it comes to tools. Well push came to shove and I needed a hammer drill to board up my (new to me) house with Tapcons for the impending doom of a Category 4 Hurricane. I had never heard of Tacklife and I figured that if this drill could finish the entire house it’d be worth more to me then what I paid for it. Well not only did it make it through my CBS house but also my parents rental CBS house and shows no signs of stopping. I’ve been utterly impressed with this hammer drill and have no complaints! Highly recommended!

Powerful
Oh man, first time using a hammer drill. It drills into concrete like butter. I didn't bother attaching the handle, easy to handle and hold as is. I bought it because of the carrying case, and it is a nice case. Give you a small selection of bits, but you'll want to have a proper drill bit kit.

Good hammer drill for the money
I chose the hammer drill because of the power of the motor and the number of hammer strokes per minute. I needed to drill a 1 inch hole in a 8 inch foundation to drain a water heater pan incase of a leak without damaging (flooding) the floor. The down side using this drill was the dust getting into the chuck and causing the drill bit to slip. It took a lot of air blowing and degreaser to clean out the chuck. I contacted Tacklife to see if there was a replacement chuck but no response. That's why I took off a star. If needed I hope Tacklife is more responsive.

Well worth the money
I needed to mount some items on a wall that was made from poured concrete and my regular drill was not even making a dent after 5 minutes with a masonry bit. I used the same bit with this drill and the task was finished in about 35 seconds. My next project is to mount ceiling fans for my balcony and living room and this drill is going to make easy work of those tasks.

Buy, don't rent! Great tool
The drill was exactly as described/pictured.I was going to rent a hammer drill because I only needed to drill about 16 holes in concrete for a single project. But I thought, even if this thing only lasts a few projects, it is only slightly more money than a 4 hour rental so it is worth it to have it and not have to return a rental. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The hammer action of the drill cut into the concrete like butter. I had previously used my regular drill with a concrete bit and took forever to cut the hole and tore up the bits. This was my first time using a hammer drill and I was shocked how well it works and wish I'd bought one a year ago (I'm remodeling a house).Due to other drill reviews I've seen of some drills overheating, I was cautious not to do too many holes back-to-back without at least a 5-10 minute drill cool down. It was a preventive touch on my part, not sure it was necessary, but I wanted the drill to last and the drill still seems to be in like-new condition.I made short work of my project. Speed control was good, I was able to start the holes slowly to get the drill to set in a spot, then picked up the speed once enough of a divot was made that the bit wouldn't walk at high speed.The carrying case is nice, so I appreciate that I can store this tool neatly when not in use.

Worked Great!
Bought it to put in some studs for Hurricane Shutters. Went through the concrete like butter. I didn't use the extra part and it was very easy for a 63 year old Lady. I won't use it often so wanted not to spend much on it. What a great drill. I think my old regular drill will be put to bed for now. Mine was also not hot in any way after using it for about an hour. Job is over so not real sure when I will use it again.

Update
Used it to drill five small pilot holes in my basement foundation in order to attach a 2x4 to the wall. Worked as it should. Then a week later I attempted to drill three more holes for the same reason. The drill began to emit a burning smell at which time I stopped. I soon discovered that the "reverse" switch no longer worked. Needless to say, I'm not happy with the purchase at all.11/1/19 update. To their credit, the manufacturer upon reading my review has immediately agreed to replace the unit. I’m giving it four stars due to their follow up and will adjust up or down upon receipt of the new product depending upon how it works out.

Get the drill by itself, if that.
little disappointed. The drill is a cheap drill, should expect it from the price, but i would suggest buying the drill by itself.. $35+. The “bit sets” are below acceptable even for a home owner. USE TILE BIT WITH CAUTION lol if you care to ask me why, just try it yourself on tile or glass (like it says it is suitable for). No luck for me.Didn’t expect much out of the drill. Spins fast, that’s what i wanted. But it rattles exponentially in a fearful way. “Metal” finish on the drill is coating.Chuck looks to be all metal. This is the reason for my 2 stars. But it does not stay true, has weeble wobble. Should be one star for this set. 3 stars for the drill itself.
