I was a commercial construction superintendent for 15 years and used that thing almost daily. It even has a hammer drill setting that I frequently used for installing floor-mounted door stops, so it took some serious abuse. It also survived a tumble off the top of my toolbox onto the pavement of the on-ramp to I-64 when I drove off without putting it away.

Other than having the trigger switch replaced a couple of years ago, I've never had a problem with it. As you said though Tafkam, the NiCad batteries are a bit weak. I've probably been through 4-5 over the years, and they definitely don't hold a charge the way that the lithium batteries do. But the tool itself has held up tremendously well.
