1.) Great drill for the price

This drill is a great value for someone who uses it twice a month or less.
I found this locally for about $20. It has great features for the price: cordless, 2-speed (325/650rpm), reversing (to drive screws) and a keyless chuck. The quality is quite good, considering the price. It's well balanced, and seems to have a good amount of power. It's stated capacity is a 1/2" in wood, and 3/8" in steel. The battery pack is built inside. It uses 4/5 sub-C ni-cd cells. The shelf life of rechargeables is about
3 months, so you will need to charge it occassionally.

2.) good stuff

Good buy. Does not come with bits and drill heads. Luckily I had a set from my old drill.
I did find this one cheaper in Walmart later, but oh well.
I built all the furniture in my new apartment with this guy. Thank goodness I had it.
Powerful enough for the job w/o being too heavy to lug around. Charges just fine.


3.) Great Little Drill

I received this BLACK & DECKER 7.2-VOLT CORDLESS DRILL for Christmas. I've been looking for a cordless drill for about nine months and had been looking at drills that were a bit larger and more powerful. However, even though this drill isn't quite what I was looking for, it's an exceptional drill. It has two speeds (325 & 650 rpm), can go in reverse, and the chuck is keyless. It's a very easy drill to use and is fairly light weight. The battery pack is built inside the drill and in order to charge it, you have to plug the charger into a socket on the drill. I've used this drill several times since receiving it and have not had any problems. In fact, the only criticism I have is that the drill doesn't include any drill bits or heads; you have to purchase a set of drill bits and heads separately. Overall, this is a great drill for someone who is a novice to beginning home repair type person. It'll also do a job for more experience handymen who are in the pinch.

4.) FOR THE PRICE - A GREAT DRILL

For a non-professional occasional around the house cordless drill and screw driver .... It's great. Don't use it often, but when I do, it has held a good charge and works flawlessly.

5.) Top Heavy - but works great

This drill is fine except for the fact that it won't stand up - it topples right over. Obviously the person who designed this never thought of the convenience of a drill that can stand on a counter without toppling off. Works great, price is right but remember that you have to lay this drill on its side or you are going to quickly hear a crash!

6.) Awesome Drill and great bang for buck!

This was the first drill i actually purchased for myself and must say it was very easy to use. I got a great deal on Amazon and it works just you'd expect. I recently used it to mount a mirror into the wall and it worked just fine. The keyless chuck is great as i put in my screwdriver heads as well as the Drill bit to make holes in the wall. Great drill for the price. The only problem is that it requires an overnight initial charge.

This drill does as advertised. It is very light weight, yet packs enough power for most household work. I am amazed at how long it works on a single charge. I like the fact that the batteries are built-in and don't have to be removed/replaced for charging. For the price, I highly recommend it for typical household drilling.

9.) B&D Cordless Drill

The drill works fine and is worth the price. Being a chuckless drill, the bit is harder to tighten securely by hand for me than with a chuck, however.

10.) Great... Although Slightly Lacking in Power

I definitely like this drill... it gets just about everything done. The most I really ever need it for is drilling a few holes in the wall or in wood or in plastic. For that, it's more than adequate. However, for really heavy duty drilling, you'll need something stronger. It definately does not have the power to drill metal (ex drilling out a stripped screw), or the torque needed to drill a big screw into hardwood. For the general person though, it would work great and fulfill your needs.

Never a concern with B&D, this is a great drill with ONE fualt, it will fall over when in an upright position. (NO BALANCE) For the price, go for it, just watch were you set it, it will fall over...I am also going to write B&D about this problem..

13.) Too heavy and bulky for me!

I liked the fact that this was a reasonably-priced item (I purchased mine from WalMart). However, I've had the hardest time using it to drill holes in my small window frames because of it being bulky and a little on the heavy side. Yes, I'm of the "weaker" sex. I'll be taking this back. Can anyone recommend a powerful, yet compact, and reasonably-priced, cordless drill?

14.) cheap- short life span

This 7.2V cordless drill crapped out in less than 2 years. Notice anything in the packaging about batteries? I had to remove 8 screws to disassemble the whole drill. There are what looks like 6 little round NI-CD 4/5sc1000 batteries. I've spent 20 minutes and I'm not finding replacements -not even on the Black & Decker site. This is my 2nd "cordless" product. I do not like them. The 1st one they discontinued the battery! With an electric drill I grab an extension cord and go to work. Now I have a small project & I'm screwing around trying to find replacement rechargeable batteries. And if I do find them, you can bet they'll be at least 1/2 the price of what the darn drill cost to begin with. Convenient? Not unless you use it everyday & keep it charged. I have to wait & charge the thing every time I use it. Cordless is not for me anymore! Regards, Tim
