Don't know much about drills, so did my web research - and this was rated the best within this under-$100 price range. (One of the waiters at the restaurant also loved it.). Gave it as a gift to a 'handyman' friend the other day, and he loved it.
The 18 volt battery was a plus for me since I purchased the B&D cordless trimmer last spring, and it uses the same battery(I got 2 with the trimmer). The only drawback that I can see is the storage case could have been designed a little better. But, there is room for everything, including the stud-finder, in the case.To be honest, I would buy this product again and I've already recommended it to a number of friends. I've had mine for a couple weeks and, so far, have used it twice. You have to remove the battery to put the drill back in the case.
Works great and is no heavier than my old 12 volt cordless that I've had for about 5 years. This drill offers more power than you'll ever need for household projects. And having only 5 torque settings isn't really a big deal either. I had no problem assembling a plastic table for my grandsons for Christmas and never stripped one screw.
This is a very comprehensive set. The sud finder is something I wouldn't have thought to byuy but now that I have one I wouldn't go with out one. The drill works well as does the studd finder. The drill is has torque adjusments which makes it a sinch to use.
my husband likes this drill as do i. it's a good drill. we use it all the time and have had no problems. we have bought one for my father in law and he likes his too.
one project, in fact, but, the unit seems pretty solid, and works well. so I'm confident that this one will last, too. the driver still worked but the battery finally died. I have only used this for a short while. The clutch has quite a wide range for an inexpensive unit. which only adds to the value. I paid $20.00 just for the last stud finder I bought, so I have to give this 5 stars, simply on a value basis.The last B&D cordless I purchased lasted 5 years.
