Review: Perfect Drill at a Great Price - This drill saved my bacon....and my wrists! I had to do a very large demo project that involved, among other things, unscrewing several hundred screws. One thing that they don't seem to mention in the specs (not sure why) is that this does indeed "reverse" with a sliding directional button on the grip part. The included screwdriver bit was perfect since I needed both flathead and phillips. The keyless chuck system worked flawlessly (first drill I've ever owned that had this). On top of that, the variable-speed motor was perfect and helped power through that entire job. Last but not least, since this is corded - which is why I bought it - you'll never have to wait for battery packs to recharge while you're in te middle of a huge project. you can just get your work done. Bottom line: I highly recommend this B&D drill. If you're on the fence, just buy it. You will be happy that you did. Especially at this price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I cannot insert the drill bit - My chuck is too tight and I cannot get it to open. I have followed the instructions in the manual. Help!**
A: Same issue! I've tried everything. My husband couldn't get it to loosen either. I haven't been able to use the drill because of it and it's too late to return it. Not a happy camper. Were you ever able to get the chuck loose?

**Q: is this drill powerful enough to attach the 'power cone' attachment for polishing the chrome wheels on my car?**
A: I'm not sure how much power your device requires but I've found this drill to be very powerful for all my normal drilling operations.

**Q: I have to drill some screws into mdf.  There are no pre-drilled holes.  Is this what I want?**
A: This drill has no clutch so unless you are pretty familiar with these drills it has the potential to get away from you when the screw bottoms out.

**Q: Does this drill have an electric brake? When you let go of the trigger,does the bit stop spinning immediately?**
A: No, it doesn't, it will continue to spin after you let go of the trigger.  At least when you just hold it in the air.  In practice when you're drilling something in, I haven't found it to keep going, even with small screws.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Inexpesive Drill
*by C***. on September 9, 2016*

My wife and I needed to hang a few more weighty items on the walls of our apartment. We don't own very many tools and where apprehensive about purchasing a drill in lieu of borrowing one. For the price we felt we could justify the purchase, even if we only used it occasionally. I was expecting a drill of lower quality, much like you would find for sub $10 at a place like Harbor Freight. We where surprised at how sturdy it was built and how well it functioned. *************** *** PROS *** *************** - Made with quality materials. The parts that come into contact with your hand are made of a softer plastic, much like that found on a ballpoint pen with a grip, but of higher quality. I honestly believe I could use the butt end as a hammer given how strong the plastic is, but I of course don't recommend this. - Very ergonomic, with reasonable reach to the Forward/reverse slider and Lock-on button, all with one handed use. - The chuck is easily adjusted and prevents over-tightening to the bit. - Comes with a Phillips/Flathead bit that will fit most common screws. There is a place to store the provided bit at the bottom of the handle - Very granular control of the variable speed switch, without this feature I would not have purchased this drill. Sometimes you need to start out slow when drilling in a screw, otherwise you may set a screw sideways, etc. - The Lock-on button allows you to set the drill to a specific speed without pressing the switch. This feature is especially useful for situations such as buffing out scratches on a car or using a small sanding attachment. - Anti fray housing where the cord meets the drill, there is nothing worse than having to ditch a drill or repair it yourself because of a now exposed and dangerous power cable - 2 Year Warranty with a 30 day money-back guarantee - Minimal packaging - Comes in a single box with the drill and a small and concise multi-lingual manual, no oversized box or messy cardboard padding. *************** *** CONS *** *************** - Like most drills, this has an open grill/air vent that cools the electric motor. I don't feel comfortable using this outside during inclement weather given that I can see the components inside. For normal use, this should not even be a concern. - The drill bit stored in the holder at the bottom of the handle can poke your hand if held a certain way. If this is an issue, you can move the Flathead over to the left a bit and bear the less sharp Phillips tip, or you can remove the bit entirely.(just don't loose it) - The drill is a bit heavy for one handed use and does not benefit from the weight of a battery pack to displace how top-heavy it is. In short, if you are looking for an inexpensive general purpose drill that is of quality, I would invest in this drill. **I purchased this product at full price and was not under any obligation to provide a review** Please stop removing my photos Amazon.
