Is this drill strong enough for driving screws into studs?

It is built for household screw-driving and light drilling. With up to 180 in-lbs of torque and a 21+1 clutch, it handles furniture and drywall screws well, but long screws into dense hardwood may stall it.

Can it drill into concrete or brick?

The kit includes three masonry bits, so it can make small holes in brick and soft block. It is a 12V drill without a hammer mode, so it is slow going in hard concrete.

How many batteries come with it?

One 12V battery is included, along with a charger. The battery is removable, so you can swap in a spare if you buy one separately.

Does it have variable speed?

Yes. The trigger is variable and the drill has two speed ranges up to 650 RPM, so you can start slow and build up speed.

What comes in the box?

One drill, one charger, one battery, a magnetic flexible shaft, a fastener attachment extension bar, three wood drill bits and three masonry drill bits.

Is it a good first drill?

For light home tasks it is a reasonable starter: it is small, simple to control and comes with bits and accessories. If you plan to build decks or drill large holes, a more powerful 18V drill will serve you better.
