I've only had this Metabo driver less than a week so take this review with that in mind. I have a similar model but without the variable speed and tork so I like this much better. The driver feels right in my hand and the more complete control allows for a better outcome in a variety of applications. I hope and think I'll feel good about this purchase for years to come. redog501 · ebay.com
