cancelCons
- The drill can get a bit loud when you're using it at full speed.
- The battery life isn't as long as I'd like - it's still pretty good, but I have to recharge it after a few hours of use.
- The drill can be a bit tricky to store when you're not using it - the case is nice, but it's still a bit bulky.
- The manual could be a bit clearer - I had to do some trial and error to figure out how to use some of the features.
- The drill can be a bit heavy when you're carrying it around - not a huge deal, but it's something to consider.
- The drill doesn't come with any extra accessories, which is a bit of a bummer.

I used to think power drills were a total waste of money, but after assembling my kid's school desk by hand, I had a change of heart about this technology.
So, I decided to take the plunge and buy a power drill. And let me tell you, it's been a real game-changer for me.
First of all, it's way lighter and more compact than a traditional drill, making it a breeze to maneuver. Plus, it's got adjustable speed settings, which is super convenient.

One thing that really impressed me about this drill is the long cord - 3 meters is plenty long enough for most jobs. And the LED light is a huge plus, especially when working in low-light conditions.
I was also really impressed with the build quality of this drill. The case is great - it's convenient, high-quality, and well-made. It's worth paying a bit extra for the case, if you ask me.
The chuck is not one-time use, and it's really powerful. I love the little storage compartment inside for the manual, and the drill itself fits snugly into its designated spot. Plus, there's still plenty of room for accessories like bits and sanders.
The grip on this drill is rubberized, making it super comfortable to hold. And the clip on the bottom of the handle is perfect for attaching it to your belt.
This drill is a lot lighter than my old one - it's only 1.2 kg. And the speed control makes it way easier to use with a 'balerin' bit than my dedicated drill.
We drilled 9 holes for tile in the bathroom using the drill bit, and the impact driver performed flawlessly. It's been a real time-saver for tasks like this.
The drill bit on this impact driver is a self-tightening chuck. When you turn it, it automatically secures the drill bit or bit in place.
It's got reverse functionality too - just flip the switch and you can unscrew screws as easily as you can screw them in.
The LED light on the handle is a huge plus. It really helps illuminate the work area when the lighting is poor.
Over the course of our renovation, we actually ended up using the impact driver more than the drill - we used the drill as a mixer, so that gives you an idea of how versatile it is.
We're really happy with our purchase, and I'm hoping this impact driver will be a reliable tool for us for a long time.
I bought the power drill on Wildberries for 2463 rubles. I also ordered a set of Zubr bits, 10 pieces for 181 rubles.
You can register for the extended warranty (5 years) on the official Zubr website within 4 weeks of purchase.

This drill is a beast, and I'm glad I took the plunge and bought it. It's been a real time-saver for me, and I'm hoping it will be a reliable tool for us for a long time.
We were able to screw in the handles to the bathtub frame in no time. And it even managed to screw into a metal profile through the drywall.
This drill can basically be used as a drill, but it's not as fast or as easy to use as my dedicated drill. But that's not what I bought it for.
It screws in screws in two seconds flat - the speed increase is insane!
It even managed to drill holes for the outlets in the ceramic block.
This impact driver is a real time-saver for tasks like drilling holes for tile in the bathroom.
We're really happy with our purchase, and I'm hoping this impact driver will be a reliable tool for us for a long time.
