Great for the price [Posted on 2007-06-01]
Some things that aren't in the description:

-The charger that it comes with is a cord plugs into the back of the handle, and it charges the battery while it's attached to the drill. It uses the standard B&D removable 18V battery which can be charged in a seperate charger (that isn't included of course).
-The 30 piece accessories set is a set of 10 drill bits sizes 1/16 to 1/4, 10 2-sided screwdriver bits, and 10 socket bits sizes 5/32 to 1/2.

It's a good small cordless drill, especially for the price.

Better drills out there from B&D and almost everyone else [Posted on 2007-06-08]
I have this drill but would instead recommend the B&D "Firestorm" drill with a "Quick release" keyless chuck. Much better, with two speed and torque adjustments and, amazingly a lower price. One problem this particular drill has is that the keyless chuck tends to loosen by itself. The Jacobs chucks that are standard in Dewalt and other brands are bulletproof for this. I'd say you get what you pay for, but for this quality and features I'd go with a no-brand from many other places for less than half the price OR shop around to find a better one with more features for about the same dough.

Also, this thing has a single speed only. It's an in between speed. Not fast enough to drill well in wood, and not slow enough that you can purely rely on the clutch when driving screws in wood.

The removable keyless chuck on the B&D Firestorm drill I recommend has a quick release 1/4" hex shaft which allows you to put a drill bit in the chuck and keep a driver in the quick release - super fast change - really nice when you have to predrill screw holes in a deck or other project.
