I own this drill, was very disappointed with it, especially since I had a Hitachi for years that was a tank. This drill isn't powerful, and eats through batteries quickly. I don't even use it, prefer my Ryobi and Milwaukee drills.

Thank you for the review. I do see this kit has an overall rating of 4.5 / 5 stars so maybe others are having better luck.

I completely disagree with your assessment. I've had this drill for a year and I also have a Milwaukee M18 compact 3601-20, as well as a brushless DCD model from DeWalt. This drill generally performs better than both of them, and it certainly does not eat thru batteries. If you're not using a 5ah or 36v battery you won't get long run time. 2aH batteries are not going to last particularly long if you're working the drill modestly hard.

I have Metabo and Hitachi drills, sawzall, brad nailer, and circular saw. (Pretty sure at least one purchase a Lowes.) They're all using the same batteries. They are all running excellently. Plenty of torque and batteries have been outstanding. Zero complaints. I'm not aware of any drop in quality between the Hitachi and Metabo. I do not have this exact drill but this seems like a pretty excellent deal.

I have all Makita, which I use professionally. I just got some Metabo cordless nailers. I like them so much I will be getting more Metabo gear.

I have had Milwaukee, Dewalt and some off brand drills, and I got the Metabo HPT 1/2" drill, and that was garbage for one very specific reason, the chuck on these things is TERRIBLE, no matter how hard I would tighten the bit, eventually it would loosen and the bit would fall out, and that is such a huge PITA when you are up on a ladder
I thought it was a dud, so I exchanged it, but that unit did the exact same thing
some people say, it's because of the torque, and you have to ease off the trigger, but, absolutely none of the other drills I have had has ever done this, so for me, this thing is junk unless all you do is use it to drill holes in the wall, then it works fine
