I do some home and volunteer planting in 'hard country'. I needed a drill with handle to prevent wrist damage when using a soil auger. Used 'in the field' with breaks between tree-planting, no problem. Used at home to begin a stump extraction - drilled multiple holes - it overheated, and apparently an override/cut-out came into effect. The smoke did not leak out! - and it worked normally a few hours later and the next day. 85 Newtons is 'barely enough' - I probably should have purchased the next one up ($60 more, though, or 25-35% more expensive, depending how you calculate it). The handle design is 'adequate' - a fairly simple U-clamp, might not stand up to continued heavy use, and hampers the heat-sink. This is the cheapest one you can get 'with a handle' and there's no provision for or ability to make up a clamp for ordinary drills/drivers - any clamping points are either places with switches or conical.

Value for money, though, I'm content, for now.
