Costco: Campbell Hausfeld 18 volt drill kit ($29.97)

[JeeZues]

Costco (in Kitchener) has the above drill discounted ($29.97).
It comes with 2 batteries, 1 hour charger, a case, and 11 or 13 accessories (I don't remember)

For $30 I think this is a hot deal for a DIYer

It looks like the one in this link:

A couple of reviews on this from amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Campbell-Hausf.../dp/B000BIUGKU

Looks like it's got poor battery life and not very powerful, 250 lbs of torque. Doesn't mention the RPM though.

Probably around par with the Jobmate stuff which I stay away from.

They probably mean 250 in.lbs not ft.lbs of torque which actually isn't too bad.

The reviewer who said he ran out of battery power after 10 minutes was using it to turn a squirrel cage paint mixer. That would use a lot of power and is a job for which a corded drill is better suited.

That thing is garbage. I bought one and brought it back after a week. The "shackle" or whatever it's called (where you put the drill bit) is poor quality so the drill bit doesn't rotate perfectly straight. The 100$ rigid drill from home depot is much much much better.

Chuck. The word you are looking for is chuck.

It's called the "chuck".

Yes! That's the word I was looking for!

So the chuck on that drill sucks!

I bought this drill about a year ago for $40.

It has worked great for stuff around the house.

This is a good deal IMO.

would appreciate an item number.

not worth $2.95 let alone $29.95
got one as a prize in a raffle and I wished I didn't try it because I could have given it away
