Amazing mobile drill press! So handy for quick and accurate drilling anytime anywhere. Awesome product and design.
Works well so so long as you hold it in place well when you get started. I'm happy with its functioning--it's a tool worth having.
Quality tool and great value. Helped tremendously on a large scale project where several hundred holes needed to be drilled for dowel rods and a drill press could not be used.
Exactly what I needed and way more affordable than the alternative. Ya it's not fancy, but sure does get the job done. Certainly sturdy enough as well.
Is somewhat difficult to adjust, and seems to vibrate quite a bit, but other than that it seems to do the job OK, once you get used to it.
Excellent, works well, no problems with this product
Drill straight,qucik, and easy! It's exactly what I expected.
Vertical bars needed a lubricant, but that was the only consideration - all else is good!
Everything works perfectly. Excellent product, exceeded my expectations. Thanks Nick
