Applications:
The DR250B drills holes in wood, metal, and plastic; it drives screws to fasten almost any material, assembles furniture, hangs pictures, and tweaks hardware with ease. This model is perfect for woodworking, home repair, or craft projects, too.

After a series of frustrations with cordless drills (battery never charged when I need to use it) I bought this corded drill. Same project, same wood, same screw, same problem - the chuck just froze up and wouldn't turn one way or another. 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. 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. The first project I worked on was hanging curtain rods. 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. 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.

My husband purchased this drill and is very happy with it. He has always been happy with Black and Decker as they do what they promise. It does exactly what he expected it do.

This corded drill works great. The bag is helpful especially since it has the cord.

drill I gutted, finally expired. It's holding up well to rust grinding and wax buffing. So, I purchased this B&D drill & I'm very satisfied with it's operation. My 30 yr old Craftsman 3/8" drill fitted with a chuck from another Mfg. I purchased the Dewalt 6Amp 3/8" to replace it and love that drill for heavy drilling duty. For the price, I think it's a great deal. The only problem with the Dewalt is that the trigger will not lock down for sanding/buffing.

Just saw the same drill at Lowes for $33. Couldn't have wanted a better drill. $8 more than I paid thru Amazon. Used it yesterday for the first time, very powerful, variable speed, reversible.
