AI Review Summary:

Across major retailers, buyers praise the drill speed and power in concrete relative to size, noting low vibration and effective AUTOSTOP kickback control. Many highlight long runtime when paired with XC6.0 or larger batteries and appreciate the compact form for overhead work. A few users mention it’s heavier than expected with big batteries attached and that optimal performance requires high‑output packs. Reported issues are uncommon but include occasional depth-rod slippage and variability in trigger feel. Representative quotes: “Cuts holes in concrete faster than my corded,” “AVS really saves my arms,” and “Best with HO 6.0—felt sluggish on small batteries.”
