I have two of these drills, bought solely because I had an emergency away from home which required the use of a drill to construct something. They were the cheapest drills I could find, at under $20 each at AutoZone. Even following the manufacturer’s instructions, and charging the battery for 3 to 5 hours, the runtime was very disappointing. To make matters worse, neither battery pack would hold a full charge for 24 hours; they were both charged for 5 hours on the evening of the day that they were purchased, and neither had enough charge remaining to do anything useful the following afternoon. My old Bosch 12V drill produced a lot more torque and worked far longer on a charge, and the battery still had plenty of juice even if it had been a week since it last had been in the charger.
As a light-duty unit for use when you need neither instant performance nor a long runtime, the Great Neck might be tolerable. If you need a drill that you can reliably expect to pick up and use right away when it was last charged a week ago, buy something else. This one’s not likely to do it for you.

This item does what an 18v cordless drill is supposed to do. Nice feel. Chuck seems to be well constructed. NOT variable speed. Power is adequate (I used it to run 2″ decking screws into treated lumber and it was lugging down a bit, but drove them in as demanded). Typical of Great Neck tools, this one seems well built and designed and comes at a very reasonable price. Certainly adequate for the home mechanic/repairman. My only beef is that, currently, it seems to be impossible to locate a replacement/backup battery pack. On the other hand, most 18v battery packs cost at least as much as this whole drill kit, so I suppose one could just buy a whole extra kit (not a bad idea). I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
