Great product!
Style: S28MAG
Great magnet in the base. Drilled about 700 holes so far with a no-name cheaper annular bit set. This invention is 1000 times more efficient and productive. Good price. Great quality. Would like a reverse spring on the drill press handle because after drilling you need to move the drill and the bit becomes the lowest part of the drill making it hard to move because you have to hold the drill press handle and the drill at the same time. If you don't the bit will hit the material before anything else does - not good for the bit or the material. ... show more

Awesome quality
Style: S28MAG
I have used various other brands of mag base drills, this one stands up with any of them. I have drilled 100+ 3/8” in 1/2” plate and a dozen 5/8” holes so far. Never missed a beat! The only 2 things that I will note- The drill was missing one of the handles for the drill slide. I emailed the manufacturer, quick response and an apology, I had the handle in 3 days. The locking stud for the slide is left hand threads, and appears fragile for what it is. Not a show stopper, just seems like a poor idea to me. All in all, I highly recommend. ... show more

An impressive drill
Style: S28MAG
I used it to cut 432 holes in a 3/4 inch steel plate for a welding table I'm working on. It locks securely with the magnet and makes very precise holes. The fluid container is messy as others have noted but it’s more of a quirk than a problem. If you just close the valve between cuts it reduces the mess. The only thing I found that could use improvement is the height adjustment handle comes loose over time and needs to be retightened but again, pretty simple to correct as you go. ... show more

As advertised!
Style: S28MAG
The case was up to the task of keeping it safe, although it took a beating in transport, the drill was all there and works as described. The drill is well built and ready for a workout as soon as the assembly is complete. Assembly is simple and that is good since the instructions don't really cover it well. I have used it to cut through 1/4 and 1/2 inch steel plate with no issues other than the oil can. The oil dispenser is a waste of time 90% of the oil gets thrown all over the place, because the oil is dropped through the chuck and gets spun off the bit at 500 RPM. I removed it and have gone back to a simple old oil can. That is the only draw back I have found in the last two days of working it hard. ... show more

Carriage set screw slips constantly
Style: S28MAG
Drill holes great but carriage set screw slips and I can't find any other screws to adjust tension so that's annoying. It has a little plastic knob to tension it so it appears one day soon I will crank down and it might snap off. Also the drill will not stay it its upmost position and again I cannot find any other tensions screws that would address this. ... show more

works great
Style: S28MAG
Works great so far that is.This thing actually works as good as or better than my full size drill press.It could stand a little tweaking in the design dept. but really,I paid $400 for it and its worth it if you really need a mag drill.Not a Milwaukee,but doesnt cost what a Milwaukee does either.After a 1/8" pilot hole,it'll drill a 5/16" hole thru 1/2" plate in about 13 seconds without even pushing it.I've only used it with regular bits,not the annular cutters.I wouldnt doubt it that it would work great with those also............I'm happy. ... show more
