Review: Excellent tool, best buy for the money - This is the best drill you can buy for the money. My last Black & Decker drill just now broke after 15 years. The switch broke, but the motor was just as strong as ever. To put it in perspective, I have 6 drills (counting 4 cordless), 2 of which are 1/2 inch capacity Black & Decker units purchased 15 years ago in Walmart. The other one is still working and that must be some kind of record. This newer drill does not have a hammer switch on top, but the only place I ever used that was to drill holes in concrete with masonry bits. If you do a lot of that, it probably is not the best choice. This drill is very strong and delivers a lot of torque so it isn't what you need for light duty jobs. You need a strong arm and good grip as you would for any drill built to deliver maximum power (no adjustable slip clutch) and it can twist your arm if you don't time the release or reduction in power to coincide with the end of the drive/drill cycle. I drive a lot of torx (star) head T-20 and T-25 deck screws using a magnetic bit holder and drill holes with bits up to a foot long and use a lot of spade bits for holes up to 1-1/2 inches. If you don't back off in a timely manner, the screws will sink too deep. I don't pamper my tools and I much prefer a keyed chuck like this drill has for better holding power and durability. If you can't afford more than 1 drill you will spend extra time working the chuck key while swapping bits out. It is a little noisier than some drills because of the straight cut gear reduction, but this also reduces amperage flow at low speeds and increases motor life. The redesigned gear reduction system is probably the main difference in this drill and my 2 older ones. Hopefully it will last as long as the one it replaced. The cord insulation is softer and more pliable than the old units which makes it a little easier to manipulate in tight places in cold weather. This is an excellent choice for workloads which drain batteries on a cordless drill. Even my best cordless drills will drain 2 batteries on a hard day. This drill will do the same amount of work as my best cordless drills but you have to drag an extension cord around which is physically a little harder than lifting the extra weight of the battery on a cordless. That's the trade off. I don't know of any line of tools that delivers as much bang for the buck as Black & Decker. Recommended. Review: Lots of Power and Torque - Received super fast. The drill works great and I really have only one complaint about it. The only thing I don't really like is that the secondary handle will not stay securely in place when the drill binds up. I tightened the handle as tight as it would go and it still slipped out of place with me upon the drill binding up on two occasions, with it actually coming OFF the drill on a third. With the handle and the drill housing both being made of a hard slick plastic, one just can't get it tight enough to keep from moving out of place when this powerful drill gets bound up. I placed a thin piece of rubber between the secondary handle and the housing which seems to have cured the problem, but you'd think B&D would have done figured that out long ago as I can't be the only one who has ran into this issue. Otherwise, this is a great drill with lots of power and torque. ## Features - VERSATILE USE – Drill holes and drive large fasteners through wood, metal, and plastic. Capacity: 1/2 in.
