That is the largest overstatement of the year.

It rivals aliexpress/amazon brands in quality, sure, but it still generally isn't even at the quality of Ryobi, which is a lower-medium tier brand together with Bosch green, much less makita, dewalt, or Bosch blue.

Though for many non-renovating homeowners just needing the occasional drill work, it works just fine!
