I wanted a.1/2 in drill to replace my 20 plus year old black and decker that was sparking when I used it. I shopped around a bit and then decided to stick with b&d, after all the old one lasted forever. Ive had this one a little over a year and used it only a couple of times. While drilling 1/8” holes in oak it just won’t start. Doesn’t even make a sound. I am a little nervous as I have since bought jigsaw and sander by b&d

Ok with me.

The only difficulty I have is understanding where the one handle goes on. I use the drill without that and it works fine, but I'm sure I'm not using it to its full potential. :)

This is what i would consider a Heavy-duty drill.Quality is excellent.I think B&D products get overlooked sometimes.I had to replace my 3/8ths B&D drill that i got as a gift in 1975.This drill will hang with the best of them,and is still compact enough for smaller jobs as well.Should last a long time!!

I like everything about this drill.

This is a real workhorse for use where great power is required. I use it to drill through landscaping timbers before connecting them with reebar and for masonary applications. I also use it with an angle attachment for rewiring old houses.

Plenty of power, solidly built.

not too heavy,but you can tell theirs quality.has lots of power and very easy to hold and use. if I ever need another drill I will buy another one if they still make them when this one is done. seems it will last for many years
