Amazon.com Review: This is a great drill for around the house, in the garage and in the workshop: It’s powerful enough, user-friendly and comes with not one, but two batteries and a two-port charger so you’re never without your drill.
If you’re upgrading from a corded drill, you’ll love the freedom and convenience of this cordless model, and it’s a good bet it’s got more power than what you were using before, with 175 in./lbs. of torque, or rotational force. You can adjust this force with the 32-position clutch, setting it to the best position for the material you’re driving into and how large your fastener is – the bigger the hardware, the higher the setting you’ll need.
This 12-volt drill/driver has surprising speed with two gears, giving you 0 to 350 rpm in low speed and 0 to 1,400 rpm, enough to whisk you through any project you tackle, whether it’s hanging wallboard, building a deck putting up a playscape for the kids.
The single-sleeve chuck is all metal, and the spindle lock engages easily for quick bit changes. It’s ergonomically designed, too, with good balance and a nice rubber grip. The spring-loaded battery disengages easily, always a plus for those with smaller hands.
Professionals sometimes scoff at Black and Decker as a brand for amateurs, but this drill’s worthy of the tradesman’s consideration. It’s well-made, powerful and reliable. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

I love this B and D Drill. Not too heavy and not overpowering. My original B and D lasted more than 30 years, but it was time to go cordless.
Easy to handle, and being cordless gives you so much ... Read More
