Important safety feature! Surprised NONE of the online info on the drill notes this fact. Also, if you accidentally switch off the magnet while the motor is spinning, it switches the motor off automatically. There IS a magnet/motor interlock!! Thus you can't start the motor if you forget to switch on the magnet first.

All the switches and knobs feel smooth and solid. Speed range is VERY useful (pretty much slows to zero) and reversing will come in handy. The electronic speed controller takes a second or so to catch up with itself if you push it enough to slow it down (not what you'd normally do), but that's typical of electronic controllers and I prefer this type to primitive "get what you set" variable speed. Whether that's luck or something else, I'm very happy about this. Both boring tools and even the drill chuck ran very true and I could not detect any runout at all by naked eye, so is much better than most tools of this type that I've used. not loose - this one is very concentric in that regard. The weldon socket fits the tools very well, i.e. I've several times used a very popular brand seen on YT all the time and that one has excessive wiggle and rocking on the vertical track, but this Vevor one has none of that. I will say that the drill is VERY solid construction (much better than expected) and yet operation is still very smooth. That said, if longevity was a huge priority on this I would expect to pay $1,600 or more and this suits my budget MUCH better. I just received this drill today, so I can't speak to longevity.
