This is a great tool. Light enough for overhead work but powerful enough to get the job done. I don't understand the reviews about the handle being too big as I have used it for a day and didn't get tired after driving the first screw (as another reviewer claimed). As for the forward/reverse switch - it is about the same place as the Bosch and Ridgid compact drivers I looked at before I purchased it and I didn't hit it once while using it. The bit changing system is just about perfect for me. I am renovating a 100 year old house and I also do small household repairs/renovation/handyman work for people. This works just about perfectly for its intended purposes. Light repetitive work such as installing blinds, cabinet hinges, door locksets or working overhead such as installing light fixtures and smoke detectors. I do many other things with it but these are just examples of what it excels at. It can drive a 3 inch screw - I tested it. I may use it in a pinch for that. It can drill small holes. But I'm not about to throw away my 18v hammer drill or impact driver. Its light, powerful enough and easily carried. Just what I needed.
