I unpacked it and liked the case a lot immediately. It's exactly big enough to hold everything you'd need to fix a flat at the south pole. (And the charger.) The next thing that impressed me was the manual! No crappy English! You get the impression this was written by a guy who's been working on mechanical stuff for decades. It basically says to never store the battery discharged, by the way!! I love when they tell you how to treat the quite expensive lithium battery! Some people have been complaining about the forward | reverse switch. The company jumped on it! Their apology and corrective action almost happened before the switch problem. Very quick response. My switch, by the way, works perfectly: left - forward, center - locked, and right - reverse, just like a lot of other tools I have. Don't worry about the switch. Next thing to point out is the reviews saying it doesn't have enough power are written by people that give the impression that they are idiots. The ones saying it has plenty of power were written by people who seem to be reasonably intelligent. I am going to try to sound intelligent here, because I'm with the people who think it has a lot of power. 17 mm lug bolts on a 1982 diesel VW Rabbit: It didn't even spank them, it just instantly turned them out. | 19 mm lug nuts on a 2000 Honda Accord (Now these were put on by a tire place with an air wrench; I watched the guy do it.): It beat on them for about a second and got them off. I also put them back on using this thing, letting it pound on them for about a second. Then I went and got a breaker bar and tightened them like I normally would. The thing is, I only moved them to see how tight it got them; NOT to actually tighten them! In other words, this thing got them perfectly tight. | The injector pump sprocket on a 1992 turbo-diesel (EcoDiesel) Jetta: This is also 19 mm and it has to be tight. This thing, held for, again, about a second, tightened it perfectly, too, and I'm afraid the next poor guy who works on it is going to need exactly the right kind of puller to get that sprocket back off. Good and tight! The only worse things I would think, would be an axle shaft nut and a lawn mower blade. Sorry. I'm not gong to do that for fun. I will say that, on stuff like that, holding the whatever motionless so it doesn't just turn, is half the battle! It's like, for the riding mower blades, the way to do it would be two big, long pipes: one for the breaker bar and one slid over the blade so it can't turn. I am absolutely looking forward to doing those blade with this thing!! Should be way, way easier! Finally, this thing is very well made - the front piece is metal and the rest of it in the back is some kind of really rugged plastic. It's every bit as well-made as I would expect a Ridgid or a Dewalt or whatever to be.
OK. Sigh. You want some cons to prove that I'm being honest. It doesn't have a work light on the front so you can see what you're doing without going to get your LED flashlight, OK? Happy? Oh, yea! One more! It's way too hard to review how long it runs because you'd pretty much have to do a whole bunch of stuff with it to run down the battery. I'm convinced this is the best one on Amazon for the money.

Update - 9 Sept, 2021:
I could not be happier with this thing!! A few days ago, I figured out what it's absolutely most useful for! Changing blades on a riding mower!! With the front of the riding mower suspended at about 45 degrees, I had tried to hold the blade from turning as I turned the opposite direction with a breaker bar with a pipe on it. Sound like fun? This time, I got the NoCry (The battery was still full after MONTHS!) and a 15/16th's short socket. This thing got the bolts (2 blades) out in way under a second each! It was as if someone had forgotten to tighten them (but I had gotten them as tight as I could; trust me!) - they came out that easy! After changing the blades, I let the NoCry tighten the bolts for about 3 or 4 seconds and I'll guarantee they're tight enough! What a difference! This time, the hardest part was suspending the front of the riding mower. I think I'd buy this thing for changing mower blades, only, if it came down to it!!
