Some note the tool can feel nose‑heavy with larger batteries and that the high speed can be aggressive for delicate fasteners. Representative quotes: “Compact but a beast—powers through studs without bogging,” “Auto‑Stop saved my wrist,” and “Great kit—8.0Ah adds serious run time, though it makes it a bit heavier.”
