I bought that drill on advice from someone here, and can confirm it's excellent. Amazingly fast to charge also.
And, you get this neat carrying case! (rolls eyes)
That's become a go-bag for my radios and my current embedded project. The drill itself stays out because I use it every day.

Hi Mike, testing & reviewing tools is your new job ;-) $30 USD is pretty cheap price, though 20 Nm torque is low end, for light duty tasks. ("Small holes"). My colleagues in Home Improvement testing would add, the 12V models are "light duty" with limited torque, power output, battery run time, speed. Also, the reliable known brands are Bosch, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Makita, Porter-Cable, Metabo HPT, Ryobi, Hilti, Craftsman, Black+Decker, Bauer, Worx, Skil. For serious home improvement, step up to the 18 or 20V models. Nevertheless they did find a good deal under $100. This 12V model at ~$60 USD. Skil DL529002. US retailer:
No, I have *boxes* for electronic devices that are buried behind permanent construction.
And, other devices, in equally difficult places to reach with "power tools", that are hidden behind "removable panels" -- as per Code.
This guy is smart.
