This hammer drill is defective in the trigger and breaks under moderate use. Based on Reddit posts and amazon reviews. Many such cases 🤷

These drills have overwhelming positively reviews. That some broke their triggers (likely because of dropping it or pulling on it like an ape when it's locked), doesn't mean that yours would be likely to break - but if you do happen to be one of the unlucky ones, that's what their warranty is for.

I got in on this deal b/c I hate the electronic clutch on my gen2 Fuel drill. Absolutely infuriating to use with it's insane trigger lag and ramp up. If there is a systemic problem with the gen3's trigger I'm sure theyll do a recall or exchange it like they had to do with the recent M18 impact wrench debacle.

Is 12V sufficient, or is 20V ideal?

Depends on your uses. But the 12V gets most tasks done for the avg DIYer

12v is fine for most homeowners. Depends on what you do.

20v or 18v is generally the same. 20v is max power vs more consistent output at 18v. For big power draws you'd want 18v.

Sorry if dull, but how do I apply hack? It doesn't seem to be a promo code. Do I basically return the extra battery gift?

I actually rebought the original non-fuel M12 drill/driver combo to replace the gen2 because of how much I detest the clutch.
