TECCPO Brushless Drill Driver

I bought this drill nearly two years ago. It came with two batteries instead of one, but was also a bit more expensive. (The current Black Friday price with coupon is an absolute steal at $44.80!) I'm a semi-professional builder and appreciate a well-made tool. I resisted buying battery-powered tools for many years, figuring that i don't work in the woods so I'm always within an extension cord to an outlet. I was wrong. It's wildly more convenient to just pick up a drill and go -- not worrying about where to find an outlet or fighting tangled extension cords in cramped, inconvenient spaces. The Teccpo has a sturdy all-metal keyless (no worries about loosing a chuck key) 1/2" chuck that grips bits well and feels like it will hold up for decades. The chuck gives positive feedback by ratchet clicking pleasantly as you tighten on bits. The brushless motor draws less juice from the battery and should also last forever. The drill has sufficient torque that I've never stalled the motor even with large drill bits. I liked this drill so much that I bought the Popoman (same company as Teccpo) impact driver for driving screws. The batteries are robust, last as long as I need them, and recharge quickly. So after two years I've never been disappointed. This drill is as good or better than any corded drill I've used -- including Dewalt and Milwaukee. If you buy it, you should have no regrets.

I been holding off on writing a review. I wanted to use the drill several times first. So far, I've used it to screw in screws, 3" ones, drill holes in the ground with a small auger bit plus just drilled holes in wood for various things. At first I was concerned about battery life. In actual use tho, I've yet to be able to run it down. I haven't even made it to half a charge yet even when digging holes with the auger in fairly hard soil. I drilled holes for well over half a day and it still had a good half charge. I'm impressed with the battery life. I might add, I can likely charge the battery as fast or faster than I could run one down for my use so far. While screwing in screws, in low gear it sent them right in. If I hadn't released the trigger, it would have kept going for a while. I didn't try the higher gear because it would be to fast to maintain good speed control. The higher speed does well for drilling tho. The biggest problem I've ran into so far, needing good strong bits. This drill in low gear will put a lot of torque on the bit and cause it to slip. This drill does have a good amount of torque. It's is likely close to my corded 1/2" drill. For the price, even a higher price, this is a good drill. It might not be heavy duty enough for a contractor who runs one all day with the given batteries. However, if one were to get the high capacity batteries and fast chargers, it would give a much more expensive drill a run for its money. This is money well spent.

I have been pleased overall with the drill for all light duty work--which is the reason for the purchase. Great torque, good fit and feel, adequate balance. My use is usually small needs around the house and the drill served me well. Notice the past tense. I recently helped a friend build a large deck. Day one all went well as my drill performed as well as much more expensive name brands. But on day two about the halfway mark the drill failed--some internal part gave way and the drill no longer functions though the motor continues to try, the gearing cannot engage. Overall, I asked too much of the drill (driving 3" screws to secure the deck planks) over too long a duration. I am debating buying another now that I learned a hard lesson. I'd love an easy fix but I have not yet tried to tear it down to check.

For you ice fishing folks I just got back from drilling about 20 holes in 18" of ice on a 5" Mora and the first battery still reads 2 of 3 bars. Didn't need the second battery. It's no Milwaukee fuel, but I was impressed. Way better than the 18 volt Dewalt XRP I've been using for years. I have 5 augers including a gas power head with Lazer augers. I found the Mora to be easier on the old dewalt is why I used that today. Took the old drill off and put this on. Now we will see if the batteries last. Update one week later. Took the drill out again still on the same 5" Mora auger and didn't charge either battery after I did the initial charge. Drilled 12 holes in 14" of ice with 4" of snow pack on top with the first battery at 2 bars from the week before. It had plenty of power, but started to cut out and stop as I expected when the battery finally was wearing out. Had to restart the drill maybe 3 or 4 times to get the last holes done. So that would be 32 holes through some really thick northeast iowa late ice on a 5" Mora. The second bar was still kind of lit, but it was done for the job. Put the other battery in and went to town. I would say on par for the task if wanting to fish light. Only writing this review as it's something I would've wanted to read. 12/14/22 update. The next season one of the two 2ah batteries wouldn't work. I ended up buying two 4ah batteries and for the most part drilled all winter. I only charged them once each and I drilled all winter. Back on the ice this winter three times so far and they are good. I'll keep going. I'm impressed. 1/21/23 update. I have recently read reviews of people saying that this drill won't run an ice auger. I took a 7" Mora that I found on a rummage sale for $5. Blades were rusty and dinged up. Sharpened the blades on a wet stone and put it on the drill to test. No sweat. I had already drilled probably 20 holes on my 5" on the 4ah battery and then put the 7" on to test. It was about 19 degrees out. Did it no problem. I took my 6" drop gaurd off for the 7" as obviously it won't work. Otherwise I have a drop gaurd up on the extension. Also FYI that's a Makita strap handle on the back. 2/4/23 update. Curious how it would do on a 6" Lazer as I know they bite more and drill faster. I did 20 holes today in 14" or so solid ice plus snow pack and still had full bars on the 4ah battery when done. Temp around 25F. The Makita handle came off twice, so need to rethink that. Will update. 12/2/23 update. I added a couple pictures of what I ended up doing with the Makita strap handle late last season. Worked awesome. Just cut some material out above the trigger, wrapped the head with 3M UHB double sided tape and tightened the handle down. It's a beast now. I'm so impressed with this thing I recently seen the drill on sale for Black Friday and bought a backup. Also have been able to find some other low cost tools with 4 AH batteries, so have plenty of power if I need it, but so far everything but one of the 2 AH batteries that came with the original drill is holding up good. My original drill came with two batteries. The back up I bought only came with one, but the price was reflected by it. This has been one heck of a drill for the price. I bet I've drilled a thousand ice holes with no problems. Like I've said in prior messages it isn't a Milwaukee FUEL, but it sure is a beast for the price.
