looking for a lightweight power drill

I got the last 3 at my Kmart. Haven't tried Sears. If you find they're out of stock at your store, I see a few on ebay.

My only "gripe" if you will, is I wish it had a higher rpm. It's 180. But hey, for only SIX bucks, I certainly can't complain.

My thought was that when it quits then it won't hurt so bad to scrap it. Best 6 bucks I've spent in awhile.

Looks like it's pretty popular: it's not available in-store within 300 miles of my ZIP. :-) I guess I'll have to order online and pay for shipping. But still pretty cheap.

Rats, it's out of stock. Available at other places for $20+. Still seems to be a good deal. Thanks much for the pointer!

Picked it up from Sears the other day and tried it on a few server boxes. I like it! As other people said, its RPM is a bit low but the good thing is that it seem to have enough torque to do those occasional screws that are hard because they got screwed in too tight or because of rust or dirt.

Another nice thing that it does not take much space. Plus it takes a standard 1/4" hex extender.

Overall, a great addition to my tool chest.

When you get ready to break the screw loose just give the driver a slight twist to break it loose first before hitting the trigger.
