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.
I was drilling wood with an auger bit, my 1/4 inch drill motor did not have enough torque, it would bind. It was a new bit so I was sure that was not the problem. This drill drilled over 100 holes with the same bit in less than two hours. I spent more time putting wood into my work table clamp than I did drilling.
The flutes on the auger could have been longer and would have made the job faster, but having the ability to reverse the direction of rotation allowed for easy chip removal and saved me from having to purchase a bit with a longer set of flutes. The price was right, it comes with a 2 year warranty and registering the warranty is fast and easy.
Would I buy it again? Sure, after the warranty runs out. I have used B&D products for years, I have never had any issues with any of them.
