Exactly what I'd expect from ACDelco
General: Both tools feel sturdy. I haven't knocked them around, and I'm not going to for an Amazon review, but for what it's worth, they feel as good as any Makita or Milwaukee tool I've used. The labels look kinda cheap; I have no idea just how involved ACDelco actually is in the design/manufacture/branding of these tools, but the labels look cheap compared to molded-in names like you get on most professional grade tools. As far as labels go, the metallic texture looks about as nice as a label can look, but there are little bubbles under every label and they don't stick well around the edges. Doesn't affect performance at all - just letting you know. It's kind of exactly what I would expect from a brand like ACDelco - it's a no-frills brand for mechanics, not a consumer-oriented brand concerned with making a pretty presentation. The tools also don't balance well when stood upright; the battery is not perfectly flat on the bottom like on Milwaukee M12 or Makita's old 10.8V lithium line. There is a very subtle bulge at the center that makes the tools slightly wobbly when you try to stand them up. They still stand, but not well enough that I would stand them up on a delicate surface and walk away. A slight bump of a table would probably make them fall down.Drill: The clutch has 10+1 settings, not 5+1. There are dots between the printed numbers, and every dot is also a clutch setting, not just the numbers. Plus the no-clutch drill setting, which is the "+1". The LED illuminates only while the trigger is depressed. It does not remain illuminated after trigger release. My other tools leave the light on for a few seconds so you can use the LED as a convenient light, and I wish this did the same. The battery is slightly wider on one side than the other. The wider part of battery goes toward the front, such that the tool is thinner at the yolk of your thumb, and it's wider and flatter at your fingers. The 1/4" hex collet is not the quick-insert type; you have to pull out on the collet to fully seat the bit. Not a problem, just FYI. The collet holds normal hex bits just fine, but it will not hold the tiny 1" bit inserts by themselves. Which is fine - I mean, there are only a handful of tools on the market that will, so it's not a problem, it just would have been nice if it did, being that this is a tool for small spaces. Again, not a problem, just FYI.Flashlight: The flashlight is nothing worth getting excited over. The light pattern kinda sucks. It makes a wide, dimly lit circle with a tiny focus of brightness in the center. It's not very usable IMO. Better than nothing, but not great. It seems like they took a reflector designed for halogen bulbs and just tossed in an LED bulb and called it a day. It really needs a different reflector to work well. The light pattern is also not adjustable; spinning the housing ring doesn't change it. The light has has two flat rubber discs on the back that help it to lay flat (so that you could aim it at the ceiling or the bottom surface of what you're working on, without it rolling away).Charger: The charger operates such that it fills one battery first, then moves on to the other. I have seen other people talk about this as a negative, but I think it's perfectly fine. I mean, let's say that I'm in a situation where both of my batteries are dead, and I need to use the tool. Well, I would much rather that my charger fully juices up one of the batteries as fast as possible so that I can get to work, rather than dividing the charge current so that both batteries charge at half speed. That's the way this charger works, and I don't know why anyone sees this as a problem.Case: The case is HUGE for two tiny tools and a charger. It's well made as far as blow molded cases go, but ya, it's big. The case's label was also particularly poorly applied and had massive bubbles extending all the way to the edges; I lifted it up from one of the edges with a pocket knife, removed and reseated the entire label, and that got most of the bubbles out, but it's still not perfect.Overall, this driver-drill is exactly what I expected from a brand like ACDelco. It's a no-nonsense tool designed for automotive workers to use for lightweight jobs in small spaces. It's not beautiful, it's not fancy, but it's affordable, compact, and more powerful than you would expect. And the price is incredibly good. I would consider this a very good tool for what it is. It lacks some creature comforts, but it's priced well, built well, and it'll get the job done. All that said, I'm not sure it's what I want, but it is a good tool.

Its to bad
This little drill driver is super handy just the right size. It fits every where just about. Battery life is excellent. I have the impact driver and drill and flash light they all work well. I use this a minimum 4 hours a day , it wears out in about 3 years. I’m on my fourth one now . There hard to find and have been discontinued by manufacture. This seller on Amazon does not actually have any . Be wear .

Two packages. Two defective chargers.
There is a problem with these. At first I thought it was bad battery. Just like all the other reviews, so I replaced both of them and the main unit. The second set did the same thing.In reality none of these batteries are defective the dual port charger itself is defective. Whichever battery you put in second into the charger it will say is defective. Doesn’t matter which battery, you can switch them around switch different batteries, whichever one you put in second it will always say is defective.This is probably something that could’ve been fixed with a firmware update, but if the quality of the charger is this poor, I don’t think the tools will last.

ONE BATTERY DOA (Flashlight killed it) 2nd set!
So I purchased the set with the flashlight and drill but it seems that the manufacturer failed to turn off the flashlight. It totally drained the lithium battery and killed it. It won't change. I ordered a replacement and the same thing happened! So basically this is a packing issue that they need to address.

Not bad
Battery is very hard to get out of the drill...only one side of the battery charger works.noce small drill for the most I was hesitant with all the bad reviews but with Amazon I figured I'd give it a try...worse that could happen is I have to send it back...idk what to do about charger as it took forever to get the unit

Just what I was looking for
I was looking for a small drill for my model train workshop. This driver with the addition of a drill chuck works fine for what I am doing. It's lite weight and gets into tight places. It is not terribly fast for drilling but works for me.Because I don't use the flashlight much I basically have two batteries for the driver. The included charger works well.I would recommend this set to my friends.

Lightweight drill driver
Not the most powerful but works really well for around the house work. It is not meant to drive a 2” lag screw but works well for light drilling and screwing. Cost is very good given that you get light and battery with charger.

Check your battery one comes dead out of the two
Compact, ment for smaller daily jobs on the go, down side one batteries Appear to be dead and not accept the charge in either port and the spare battery charges fine.
