A plastic case wouldn't be bad, but on the other hand, when I'm not using this I will store it in my tool chest. If it had a case, it probably wouldn't fit where I'm going to store it.
I don't know how long it will last, but it seems well made. Probably will out live me...
I used a Milwaukee 4-1/4" carbide tipped hole saw. It took several hours with many breaks in between mostly due to operator fatigue. I did take 1 break for the drill as it was going to give me a 3rd degree burn if I kept going. Lots of low rpm high torque action really takes its toll on a drill.
End result was a nice clean 4-1/4" hole through 2" of brick and 2" of old growth pine and a fully functional drill. No way in hell my old Skill would have been able to do that.
On to the next project! Recessed lights in plaster ceilings. Looks like it was a good investment!
***UPDATE***
Recessed lights were a success. I drilled 21 holes with a 5-1/2" carbide holesaw in 3/4" thick plaster over drywall ceiling. Lots of plaster dust got into the drill, but it kept going strong. Give it a few rev's when your done to clear out the dust from the motor.
This attacked my current project with ease. Rather than drilling holes or fooling with lag screws, this drill installed headlok screws FastenMaster FMHLGM412-12 HeadLOK Heavy-Duty Flathead Fastener, 4-1/2 Inches, 12-Count attaching 2x12s to 4x4s securely in a few minutes instead of a couple of hours.
