It's not awful but it's also not the best hand tightening Chuck I've ever used. Sorry for not responding to the comments - I did not receive any notifications. Have no doubts, this is the best!

What about some of the negative comments? Buy it ! - 750w power. So easy to dial in exactly what you need from 200 to 2500 rpm.

Doesn't seem to be a problem at all. Note: This newer version doesn't have the clear guard over the chuck as I've seen in some photos and videos online. The built in light is excellent.

All in all, a thoroughly recommended bench drill, lightweight, great torque for drilling metal and wood with large bits. The Laser is spot on and is far more useful than I thought it would be - if you centre punch the location you can simply place the laser cross on it and have no worries. Noise: (to me this is important)I measured noise from approx 1ft away (dB meter next to my head). I may even add someMore grub screws to clamp the pillar from the front as well to belt and braces it.

Delighted with this as long as it keeps performing as it is. The media could not be loaded. The Drill press by Bosch PED 40. Was then following that up with a 16mm forstner bit in 10mm thick English Oak.

For most jobs it seems to grip the bit just fine but when fitted with a 35mm forstner bit, and drilling into 18mm ply the bit had a tendency to slip in the Chuck which is less than ideal. If you're not pre-punching then you're also not going to be disappointed about the accuracy of the drill location. I'm sure a bit of tweaking with the grub screw will tighten everything up.
