Editorial Review
If you ever plan to tackle anything tougher than screwing or unscrewing light switch covers and battery compartments, you really want a good, basic drill/driver around the house. The DriveMaster is just that--a solid drill/driver suitable for hanging pictures and shelves, drilling holes for drywall anchors, anchoring furniture, or putting together "assemble yourself" furnishings--at a price that is truly remarkable.
DriveMaster has clearly chosen to make voltage their strong point. At time of writing, you won't find another 14.4-volt drill/driver at anywhere near this price. A couple of 9.6-volt models only come close. A higher voltage means that you will generally be able to operate the drill longer between battery charges. You can work with the DriveMaster for a good, solid hour without having to recharge the tool, which is important for things like putting together "assemble-yourself" furniture. The last thing you want to do is leave a table standing on two legs while you wait for a battery to recharge.
At 4.5 pounds, this is one of the lighter drill/drivers available, which is nice for the less burly, or anyone who wants to avoid wrist fatigue. There is a clutch with 8 torque settings, which is what makes it a drill/driver instead of just a drill. Just set the drill to the tension you want. When the drill meets a certain resistance level (for example, when your screw has been set), it will just spin without applying force to the screw. This helps prevent stripping screw heads and damaging whatever it is you are screwing into. The forward reverse switch is conveniently located above the trigger for quick and smooth directional changes. There is built-in storage for 2 bits on the base. The keyless 3/8-inch Jacob’s chuck provides quick bit changes and a strong grip.--Tod Harrick

I used it once and never used it again..... If you want to show off that you have one but don't expect to use it then go for it.
DriveMaster 14.4V Cordless Drill 
2007-11-02
I got this, for my husband. It replaced a Ryobi, which cost alot more, had 2 batteries, but didn't last near as long. This is an excellent deal. Sometimes the No-names or unfamiliar names turn out better than we'd ever expect. We'll never buy another Ryobi, anything.
Worked for 3 months 2007-08-04
I used this drill 5 times in three monts. It wasn't the best drill but doing the job. After a while, the AC adapter stopped charging the battery. I am not sure if the battery is dead or the charger, all I know is I spent 15 for renting a drill for 5 time usage and some headache.
Not worth the cheap price...

Bought 3 of these for $15 each and shipped - That would be the only good thing about these.
2 out of the 3, the batteries had died 3 months after purchase.
Got replacement batteries shipped direct from China on Drivemaster.
Our 3rd drill runs on its own all the time. The only way to stop it, is by pulling the battery out.
These drills are 9 months old and still under their 1 year warranty - going to call AGAIN and get replacement...Thanks Drivemaster
Great drill 2007-07-07
This is a great drill... great price and good quality... I especially like that the screwdriver bits are held right on the handle.

I can't believe this tool! 2007-02-24
I purchased this DriveMaster 14.4V drill just to have a spare sitting on my bench. I can't believe the power and long lasting charge of this drill. I use it right along with my 18volt other brand and am really happy with it. What a buy from Amazon, on sale for just $10 bucks!
