 Not What I Expected Apr 25, 2010
First the bad, and the false advertising:
- That cool hard plastic case pictured above? You don't get that. Instead you'll get a thin, flimsy bag with no pockets where everything (including the drill bits and chucks) just slam around together.
- When my package arrived 2 of my drill bits were already broken before I even opened the box. I suppose this should be expected because the bits are not secured in anyway so they've just be banging around during shipping.
- It doesn't come with a quick charge, charger. So if you're battery runs dry (and it should, because the manual recommends running it out completely before ever charging it) it takes 3-6 hours to charge.
Good stuff:
- The drill seemed to work and the bits are very quick to change.
Bottom line: They should get rid of the images of the hard case above and replace them with pictures of this craptastic bag sitting in front of me.
 Incredibly useful for every kind of project Mar 26, 2010
I got this as a Christmas gift from my older brother a year ago. At the time, I remember thinking that I'd maybe use it here and there a couple of times a year. Instead, this thing has proven to be a lifesaver. I've used it on countless home repair and hobby jobs for unscrewing/screwing difficult bolts and screws, drilling pilot holes to drilling door knob holes, sanding, cutting, buffing, routing...you name it. Indoor, outdoor, automotive...with the right bits/attachments, this thing can do just about anything.
Good while it works Mar 08, 2010
I have had this drill for a few years. I use it occasionally and it used to work very well. When I needed to drill it drilled. When I needed to drive it drove. And undrove when I made a mistake. A great convenience in putting in screws. I liked it a lot.
It now only works in reverse. There is a switch inside the handle that is supposed to change the direction. It doesn't work any more. I have been in touch with Black and Decker and they say it is not a user serviceable item, and it would cost more to repair than to buy new.
That is bad design. I now have to trash an otherwise perfectly good tool because of a small, minor component.
Great tool for small jobs Feb 06, 2010
This cordless tool is great for small jobs, and seems to have plenty of power and spunk. However, if you were going to be doing a lot of work on a big project - this drill isn't the one for big jobs. It is light-weight and plastic - which is lighter to work with and the ability to reach hard to get to places is what it is mainly designed for - for that it is great.
