Editor's Summary
I thought I scored a sweet deal on the DEKO drill driver, but what I got was a pricey disappointment. Here's what went wrong and why I'd advise others to think twice. The design is sleek, and the grip feels comfy, but the excitement was short-lived – the chuck is a total mess. It wobbles like crazy, making it hard to use as a drill. The speed switch is finicky, and the chuck clicks when I open it up. I'm seriously disappointed in the build quality. Don't get me wrong, it looks great on paper, but in reality, it's a total letdown.
Specifications
We've had our trusty drill driver, which we lovingly call 'Shurik,' for ages.
When I moved out, I realized I needed my own tools, so I started looking for a reliable drill driver.
I was on a tight budget of $3,500, and Makita and Bosch were way out of my price range, so I settled for the DEKO 'Shurik' after reading some decent reviews. It was a great value at $2,650.
Shurik isn't heavy, it's comfy to hold, and the design is pretty slick.
But that's where the positives end...
After using it for a bit, I started noticing some major flaws - there's a huge wobble in the chuck. It's like it's drawing a circle, so I can't use it as a drill. The chuck isn't balanced, and it clicks when I open it up. The speed switch is super finicky.
I ended up using it for a week, and the build quality was a letdown. The buttons feel cheap, and the battery life isn't great either.
In the end, this drill driver didn't live up to my expectations, and I'll have to splurge on a better one. I'm not looking forward to paying twice for a decent drill driver.
