Powerful, useful tool [Posted on 2007-07-17]
This works great as a driver and as a drill. The power is controlled by the pressure on the trigger. I use it with an extension cord to make up for the short cord. After having bought other drivers, this will probably be the final drill or electric driver I will ever buy.
Can's Beat it for the Price [Posted on 2008-03-27]
Before owning this Black & Decker drill, I got a couple Craftsman cordless drills as a gift. With some planning, the larger cordless drill was handy. But ultimately the irony was that the cordless drill and its advantage of convienince was actually inconvienient since it was never charged when I wanted to use it immediately. I began to realize that I had to have a corded drill.
I bought this drill at a local big-box home improvement store for at Amazon's price and brought it home.
Out of the box it includes the drill, a chuck, small instruction manual and the registration card. This is certainly a no-frills drill, but its got it where it counts.
7 amps of power rocks. Plus it has a great handle for the other hand when you really need to control the drill or want to apply more pressure. The cord length will require an extension cord (like all drills), but the drill chassis seems like it is built rock solid. This is my new favorite toy! It comes with a two-year warranty, and given the price/name brand, I wouldn't recommend this unit for commercial use (go with DeWalt, Hilti, or something of that ilk). But for occasional around-the-house use, it can't be beat.
You could spend more for a household drill, but you don't need to.
