I was a little reluctant about a BD drill vs a rigid or other but it has performed admirably for the $.
Lots of power
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
More than enough power to do any job I will ever take on, it’s not heavy or bulkey and like I said plenty of power, I do wish you could get it with a keyless chuck
I would recomend this drill to anyone that has a need for a 1/2” drill.

Solid powerful well built
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Well made powerful 1/2″ drill. Exceptional value. Only weaknesses…the foregrip feels like a weak spot and the retainer for the chuck key is annoying. Minor issues. I’m very happy with this tool.
Powerful!

Great drill! Very powerful. Excelent value. I will buy a couple more for friends and family.
A good general purpose drill
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have owned rental properties for 20 years, so I have done numerous light and moderate construction tasks. I bought this drill a month ago, and have used it every day since then. Except for a “reverse button” on the drill handle which is easy to mistakenly push, I have found this drill to be sufficiently powerful and convenient. For the price, I am very pleased.

This drill gives you that extra power you often need but never have around the house.
Well balanced and handles well.

Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I have had several cordless drill drivers. Even with modest use (less than once a month) the charging has failed after a few years, and there is no recourse at that point.
I ordered this because it is wall-powered. With a 20 foot high quality cord, I am able to use it anywhere on my property.
I am able to use it where it fits; most places a cordless would fit.
The only down side is that the finger speed control, while good, is not as fine as on a cordless.
For now, I stay with this one.
Can’s Beat it for the Price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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.
Powerful, useful tool
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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.
