The idea of a drill press is to be able to drill a STRAIGHT hole PRECISELY into or through am object and this doesn't do that at all... the tolerances of this press are far to great to achieve any kind of precision which provides little to no functionality but the design is decent except for the fact it's far to small to fit a normal drill of any kind... it did fit my hand piece to my rotory tool ....over all I would say build quality could have been much better,! To wobbly to provide any accuracy

Can't use this with a regular cordless drill chuck. Also, if you could somehow rig something up, not very sturdy or safe. Not sure what you could do with this thing, needing 3 hands to steady, hold the piece, and press all at the same time even if the base is screwed to the bench. Cannot recommend.

I found it worked well. I don't think I will use it a lot but thats exactly why I bought one.

I bought this item a few months ago and finally got a chance to put it together. I used a B&D DR200 Drill which is pretty old but usable to test the item. When inserting the drill into the hole where the drill chuck goes didn't seem to work well with this drill. Once the drill was in and started to drill, the drill chuck got stuck and then broke the holder that holds the drill upright. The piece where it holds the bolt and nut completely snapped off the drill holder. It seems any older or heavier drills are not very stable with this item. If you use a drill it must be a lightweight more newer or modern style drills with the available chuck types to properly be inserted into this drill holder.

Great item except it DOES NOT hold Ryobi brand cordless drills. Lucky for me it does hold DeWalt corded drill. The recepticle isn't large enough. Adaptors that come with are for smaller drills, which I don't know which brand is less than 1" at tip. :-(

It is so light weight it definitely needs mounted for use.The design is really nice.Though, I haven’t put it to use yet, the mechanics of it, appears to be top notch.I still have to mount mine ( first).I have several different drills for which to try all of them.Note: the heavy duty drills, may not fit into the well itself.It came with 3 inserts, the larger drills you definitely will not be able to use the inserts.ONE other note: the bulky hand powered drills ( which I tried my 20V , goes up tight to the pull down handle.On that issue ( the handle may need to be reshaped (bent, slightly) to give the handle room to operate

Totally big mess! Do not waste your money!1) This item arrived without shipping packaging and the box arrived torn.2) Item with non-functional measuring part and area without a screw. Unclear instruction.3) If you wish to return, you have to pay over $100 for shipping.

This is a great addition to the home workshop or craft-room, for anyone who wants a truly convenient and space-saving drill-press substitute without the expense and weight and bother of adjusting drive belts. You set this device on your bench or table and secure it with bolts or C-clamps, and then use your own electric drill, drill-driver, or dremel tool (with which you're already familiar) to do the drilling or shaping. It has two reasons for deserving only three stars instead of five: (1) The instruction sheet is all pictures, and the pictures are neither reproduced well enough nor large enough to let the user actually see the small parts s/he's trying to put in the appropriate place. I got the thing put together, but I used to have a drill press, and I take full credit for my success. (2) The bolt that is supposed to join the two parts of a metal "arm" is the wrong size; if I used it instead of searching and searching for a shorter one, then the two parts would not be held tightly together and the main lever (what you pull down to lower the drill bit) would be shaky to use, and I'd feel no confidence at all about using this device; I would think it is a piece of cheap junk. But I persevered mightily despite the most unclear instruction sheet, and I did find a bolt of the right length somewhere, so I have a neat, lightweight and portable, very nice little thing to get holes of precise depths drilled absolutely perpendicular into whatever I am making and to hold a sanding drum or wire brush wonderfully steady while I shape or clean or polish something; and I can use a corded drill for prolonged work, a cordless drill for super convenience, and a dremel or rotary tool, too. I'm glad I bought it.[two weeks later: It hasn't fallen apart ☺, and I doubt that it will. But the collar-like opening into which one's drill is supposed to fit does not accommodate a Ridgid cordless drill, and there's no way to adjust it to get that drill to be held by this drill press stand. The OPENING is 42 MM or 1 5/8 IN IN DIAMETER with the 1-mm thick plastic collar (that keeps the drill from getting scratched) in place. My Ridgid drill's rubber grip for the keyless chuck will fit snugly into it, but that doesn't do any good because the grip turns when the drill is running, and that is all wrong because the drill is supposed to be held stationary while the chuck and the bit turn and make the holes. My old corded electric Skil drill will fit in the opening if I remove the plastic collar; my dremel tool will fit, too. So if your electric drill has a tubular or cylindrical part between the chuck and the motor housing (the fat, wide part), and this tubular part does not turn when the drill is on, and the tubular part is smaller than 1 5/8" in diameter, this drill press stand will work for you. If you have a dremel or other rotary tool, its smaller diameter will fit, and you'll have no problem. I'm still glad I have it, but I'll have to use an extension cord if I want to use it outdoors. Maybe only two stars now. . . .
