And like another reviewer noted, the chuck gets stuck and you just about have to use Channel locks to get a hex nut driver out after using it. It will hold onto hex drivers if they're bottomed out in the chuck.
The chuck will not hold a drill bit no matter how hard you tighten it. It will slip and leave the bit stuck in whatever you are drilling.
I will let the other reviewers tell about it's power. I would rather have a key chuck.
Every time. It's like B&D took an old key chuck and put plastic grips on it.
If they're not bottomed out, they will slip once you put pressure on it. If you use this as either a drill or a driver it may make you very angry.
Very useful for light projects. This is definitely one of the BEST products I have bought. Very sturdy. It is deffinitely worth every penny you spend on this. Wood or Metal, it handles with care. Stable.An excellent buy. I am not sure what other reviewr's say about the chuck stuck and drill bit breaking etc.I have used this drill in many of my projects and I would say this is the best in it's category.
When I tried to drive a screw into wood (after drilling a pilot hole), the chuck froze up and wouldn't turn to release the bit. I don't have a lot of time to work on home improvement projects, so when a free weekend rolls around, I would like for my tools to work. After wrestling the bit free, the chuck still wouldn't open or close.I returned that particular drill, and like a moron, got another of the same model. After a series of frustrations with cordless drills (battery never charged when I need to use it) I bought this corded drill. The first project I worked on was hanging curtain rods. Same project, same wood, same screw, same problem - the chuck just froze up and wouldn't turn one way or another. I'm done with this drill - it might work for driving screws into butter, but the chuck breaks if you try to do any serious work.
My husband purchased this drill and is very happy with it. It does exactly what he expected it do. He has always been happy with Black and Decker as they do what they promise.
This corded drill works great. The bag is helpful especially since it has the cord.
