Reviewer: Greg Kazakov,


I was looking for something cheap as my first drill. From checking many different stores and drills, this was the best choice for the money. I used this successfully for installing 3 over-the-range microwaves. I bought large Irwin drill bits to cut big holes through drywall and cabinetry, and this drill performed fine. This also
saves you a ton of time having to use a screwdriver to assemble something.

FYI: The 20 accessories that come with this drill are drill bits and screwdriver bits. They are of good quality and that alone saves you some $10-$15 bucks from having to buy it separately with another drill.

This is not a hammer drill so you will not be able to drill through concrete or other strong material. Some places of drywall was difficult for me to drill through, but with maximum drill power and forward-force I was able to make it through.

The battery lasts well for me, one thing that is good is to keep charging it in between working, or while you are taking 30mins for a lunch break. It held its charge for over 2 weeks when I had it in storage between uses.

One suggestion is to have some kind of indicator to let you know when it's fully charged. There are no lights whatsoever to tell you it's charging or it's got a charge. But if you do it like me and plug it in the night before working then you're fine.

Again, for $50 bucks shipped you can't beat this drill. If you're looking for the best then go for DeWalt, but if you need something around the house, or maybe helping out a neighbor install whatever, this is an excellent choice.

I asked for this particular drill (battery powered) for Christmas - and got it :-) I have several Black & Decker items and am pleased with all of them. Jig saw, two electric drills, weed whacker, tiller, small work bench, wall paper steamer (yes, B&D doesn't make them anymore, but I loved my original one that I had for 20 years, which finally gave out after many hours of use not only by me, but also by some of my office colleagues. But I found a "brand-new/old" one, never used, on e-bay.) Some of those tools might not be suitable for a professional handyman, but for a do-it-yourself woman (or some of the more clumsy, helpless do-it-yourself men!), they are wonderful, reliable products.

Reviewer: E. Shaffer,
I chose this drill for two reasons. 1. To replace a model that just stopped working but used the same batteries which would give me additional working time before recharging and 2. I like the compact design that lets me use it in more places and it should be less tiering. I can't comment of performance because I have not really used it much yet. But being a Black & Decker I expect I will be as happy with this one as I was with the old one.

My significant other bailed on me, and took the drill (well OK, it WAS HIS....!!) heheh. I was lost without it! So I looked at the offerings on Amazon, and came across this one. I really like it. It does the job, easy to handle and easy to install and remove the bits.

The one thing I would like to have had with this is a hard case to protect it, but all in all, I give it a thumbs up.
Great drill

This has turned out to be a great purchase. It performs well and holds a charge for long periods. I bought two of them and don't regret it. I recommend them highly.
Great Product!! Great Price!!

I bought this drill for my father and he loves it!!! It's great for doing jobs in and around the house. He says it's pretty powerful for 18 volts and the 20 drill bits came in handy!!!
