Good drill - awful carrying case
The drill itself is fine (though comes with no bits), no issues with the chuck like some others have mentioned.
My only real complaint is that getting it back into the case afterwards is a chore, the case either falls apart or won’t close for some reaso
£40 hammer drill !!!
I had a choice with this buy, 25 new battery for my cheap 12volt drill.Or 40 for 18 volt hammer drill with battery and charger. , Plus good brand name with metal gears ,no brainer fill your boots with Christmas cracker deal, Jack did .

Easy to use
As a complete newbie to DIY I was delighted to see how easy this was to use. Nice a lightweight too which was good as I get arthritis in my hands
Light and easy to use
2 batteries are very useful and seem to keep there charge.Good to have a battery drill that has a hammer function for drilling in brickwork, very happy so fa
Smart tough bit of kit does everything I could want, screwdriving drilling and hammer drilling.
This new drill replaces an old Black and Decker battery drill I have had for 20-30 years and what a difference. good grip, feels solid and is up to any type of screw driving and good for drilling all kind of walls.

Better than a drill with cable.
My first cordless drill after 50 years of plug-ins. I did have doubts about power but there was no need. Miles easier to use and store than a corded drill. I’ve used it briefly so far for wood and masonry and as a screwdriver with no problems. I even drilled a 1″ hole with a spade drill through a 2″ wooden door lintel. The storage box is a bit iffy. A bit of a Chinese puzzle putting the drill and battery back in after I forgot to remember how it arrived and, getting the battery charger back in the same box? Forget it! I’m getting an extra box for the charger. The battery is stored in the same box but disconnected, which is the safest way. There is space for an extra battery (not included). On the whole – very pleased with it. Just pick it up, snap in the battery, insert a bit and go.

great black &decker drill
great black &decker drill ideal for home or work fast service & delivery recommend
Awesome drill
I was not sure it would be effective, with the small size of the drill. I am so pleased with the drill it’s light very easy to use and I am blown away by the strength of the hammer action.
Good value for money!
The drill is good and solid for DIY jobs. I drilled through concrete block and it was surprisingly strong. I ordered another one for my dad.
For 50, I can say it is very good drill!
Worth buying
Did my research for a cheap cordless drill to do a shower install. This one fitted the bill. Needed to drill both wood, metal and masonry and it did this no problem. It comes with a plastic carry case but it would be handy to show where the charger goes when returning it to the case as there are numerous plastic shapes inside the case so it was a bit like doing a jigsaw to see if the part fits. Worth the money though.

Good.
It is a nice drill and quite beefy but not quite up to extended periods of drilling bricks/ masonry etc. Very easy to use.
I bought this drill for myself as I find my husbands is very heavy and not easy for me to use. This is perfect for me. As I have arthritis in my hands I find being able to use it for screws great. It is not too heavy for me to manage.

Loved this drill
Since buying i’ve used this drill for everything around the house
Love it sincerely
For the price you deffo cannot go wrong but i would recommend in buying a seperate battery pack so one is always charged as it takes quite a while to charge the battery

Neat and effective
Cheaper and smaller than some drills, but ideal for the hobbyis
My first electric drill
I was up to now a manual screwdriver when it came to amateur DIY jobs. I bought this very easy to use drill and now I am screwing and unscrewing all over the place.
Grea
Good price, works well for whatvi need it for which is light work around the house, I want to try it on brick soon so will see how it goes. Is lightweight, attractive and has a case which is a nice to have (although it can be a bit awkward to fit the drill back into the case at times for some reason).

Really good
I have only charged this once so far and still going strong. Really good piece of kit, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to DIY but this does what it needs to no problem
Easy to use
Easy to use and easy changing the bit and battery. Good all rounde
My husband loves this
We are not DIY fans. But my husband is suddenly offering to put picture s up and repair things. It won’t last, but at least the towel rail isn’t hanging off anymore. Maybe I should have bought this sooner.
Great little drill. Very happy
Brilliant value for money. Highly recommend this drill. It’s not too heavy and not bulky so gets into tight places. 5 stars from me
Love this drill
I only need a drill for small household jobs and this fits the bill nicely. It is easy to operate and has plenty of power in it. I also like the fact that it’s red as it’s easy to see as i’m always losing things.This isn’t my first Black and Decker product as I have a scorpion saw which I love and it’s great to see that the quality of their items is consistent.

Great piece of DIY ki
I already have one of these drills, but when I saw this one, with gears and hammer action for 50 quid, I had to have it. I use my other one for screws and this one for drilling holes. Very capable piece of kit. Batteries last a good while, but take a good while to recharge as well, so I have a couple of spare batteries on standby.
Well worth the money, and get used all the time.
Great cordless drill.
Nice and light but very powerful. I did a lot of research and it paid off.

perfec
Really does a good job. What I was looking for.
Seems powerful enough for all jobs I need.
I’ve bought a wide range of b and d battery tools now. The batteries are all interchangeable and they work so well. Had them for around six months and all still efficient. They are great value.
Quality drill
Great power, quick charge and quality build.
Storage box is awful
Much lighte
Than my previous dril a d so much easier to use. Surprisingly powerful
So far do good
I did not have high expectations but so far have been quite impressed. All functions work and the hammer function was really impressive. Battery life is a concern as there is no way of establishing the remaining charge so other than waiting until it goes flat the life cannot be determined. Perhaps the new 2.0 a/h battery will have an indicator. At this stage I cannot comment on its long term efficacy.

Drill is good value
Drill is good value, lightweight and small.
The case is very small, and has little room to store drill bits or other accessories.
I love this drill!
I really like this drill. I am not usually a fan of cordless drills, but this one is a pleasure to use. It is fairly small, in my opinion, but honestly, it is a pleasure to use; strong, comfortable to hold, the battery lasts quite a long time and I have done so much with it already- shelves, bookcase, hanging a blind and so on. I am looking for more to do with it, that is how much fun I am having with this drill! It comes with a case, a battery charger and a standard screwdriver head/bit offering both cross head and flat head. For the price, this is fantastic value for money. (I was using a Bosch corded drill before)

I’ve had one of these and used it regularly for over 10 years and can certainly recommend it as an ideal drill/driver. 2 speeds which are also reversible and controllable depending how hard you pull the trigger, optional hammer action and an invaluable variable torque setting.
As I often find myself swapping drill and driver bits I thought I’d treat myself to a driver. Surprisingly I found drivers don’t seem to have that variable torque control, going more for all out power and grunt. So I thought I’d go for another of these as I often use the torque control so I don’t bury screws too deep or strip a thread. Was pleased to find they were still available.
I had 2 batteries with my original so only needed the single battery option. Battery life is fine and found they can easily handle a day’s diy use. I tend to charge as needed so often been glad I’ve got an extra battery. Recharge in an hour or so.
Newer one is identical except there’s no longer a led light in the base of the handle. Handy to have at times but not a problem for me.
Overall great to have these. They do the job well with full control. It covers nearly all jobs from drilling into masonry, to assembling flat packs and hole cutting. Any heavy job needing a bigger diameter bit I use my corded drill or SDS.
I’m more than happy to recommend.

Easy and powerful
A great improvement on my last drill. Lighter, easier to use with a better battery
Excellent Black and Decker drill
This drill is a very powerful drill,I use it for winding the legs on my caravan,our son is a very keen DiY person and highly an reccomends it.
Great produc
I wanted a combi drill that actually works and this product is perfect. I already had the battery which I purchased with my black and decker strimmer. It was great value and came superfast delivery.
Excellent! Perfect for home tools.
18V gives it sufficient power. It’s not expensive nor cheap. However it performs well. Good value though.
Light weigh
This is a nice looking drill , it’s so light I thought at first t may be a bit difficult to drill into masonry. But when I tried it cut through very easily with the hammer drill o
Great round the house
Ideal DIYers drill and screwdriver. No more tripping over extension cables!
Replaced a 10 year old Worx drill that is still going but batteries are unavailable.
Very compact compared to my old drill and I was concerned at first that it would not compare as it was so much smaller. But it is as powerful, fast and has a battery that also fits my other Black and Decker battery tools. All in all for a DIY tool it’s very good. I can highly recommend it.
For all the family
Brought this for my daughter who wanted a cordless drill/screwdriver I have one already and got her what I know works and i trust.
Powerful & practical
After owning a cord-powered drill, I was skeptical this cordless model would have enough power to drill through brick and cement. However, I was wrong. This drill exceeded my expectations. The hammer option works nicely on brick.
Got this for my father in law who does a little bit of DIY now and again. Black and Decker are a quality brand and to get this for sub 50 with two batteries was perfect. he has used it as a driver and drill and has performed as expected. if your looking for a straight forward do what you need Drill/Driver you won’t go wrong with this.

Good weight and recharges quickly. Good control on the grip. Also bought the brill and driver bits box.
What a great drill I've now got two.
I liked how light weight it is and I use it at home.
Powerful little tool
Neat and quite small. Great for tricky spaces, shelves etc
Good for the price
Excellent for minor DIY jobs.
Will review again if I get major things to sort.
Excelle
Excellent very light little drill which packs a lot of punch.
Ideal for the occasional DIYe
Simple to use, so light can be used by anyone who needs a drill that is easy to handle around the home
Good enough for daily usage
Must have item at home
Screwdriver, drill on walls, polishing your car, making coffee crema…

I’ve wanted a cordless hammer drill for ages but didn’t think I could justify it because I have a brilliant Bosch mains hammer drill I bought back in 1998. The problem is you can hear it from several roads away when on hammer action.
I have bought this for small jobs only. I have tried it on brick with a draper 3mm masonry bit only. Without hammer action, it drills but very slowly. When I stopped drilling, turned on hammer action and tried again the bit sank into the brick quite quickly. The percussion noise level was much much lower than my Bosch.
The drill is well made, feels good in the hand, and is quite light compared to my mains drill. I can’t comment on battery life as I’ve only just bought it but I’m sure it will be OK. The battery can be used on other Black and Decker devices which may prove to be useful in future.
I like getting a case with it and the fact that it is a well known make at a very good price.
I read several reviews that bothered me before I purchased. However, I read the user manual carefully when it arrived and am following the instructions…
You should manually tighten the chuck only. Don’t operate the drill and hold the chuck.
Only change gear or mode when the drill is not being operated.
Don’t put too much pressure on the drill when operating.
Etc etc.
Im hoping this will last a while and am pleased with my purchase.

9 out of 10
Exactly what one would expect from B&D. Good value for money, loads of torque for even the toughest of DIY jobs and the hammer drill drives through concrete like butter.
Good performe
Good battery life, lightweight feel but packd a punch!! Good buy for me!
Good drill for household DIY, small, lightweigh
Product is fine, maybe a little smaller than expected, but that makes it more versatile. Perfect for what I need, hopefully is robust, time will tell.
Delivery was very poor though, Amazon. Left it in my main bin, so the box stank to high heaven. The recycling bin was right next to it, come on, have some common sense.

Surprisingly good lightweight drill with hammer actio
An all round good drill for the price, I put my shed up with it with no problem and ideal for jobs around the house if you are into DIY. The battery is decent and holds a good charge, it’s light and has hammer action which is a plus as most drills for this price don’t have it. Happy with it the only slight gripe is the torque settings only go to 10 but don’t let it put you off. A cracking little budget drill.
Does exactly as described, a relaible useful piece of kit.
Light easy to use. Does the jobs around the house and garden exactly as required.
Good value drill
Nice lightweight drill ….adding to my 19yr old niece’s tool kit.
Perfect for requirements.
Excellent for drilling into masonry. The only flaw is the drill bits do not come with it and have to be purchased separately .
Excellent value
Excellent product at a very reasonable price. Easy to use and ideal for those little jobs about the house. Well satisfied.
It does the job
I got this primarily for the screwdriver function as I had a Summer House to erect. I didn’t anticipate using it to drill but I did and it was fine. Haven’t tried the hammer function yet.
Compact , but certainly does the job!
My Husband was really impressed with this drill/ screwdriver. It was more than up to the job of a couple of solid pine furniture flat packs and by that I mean a large sideboard with cupboards and drawers and a tall bookcase with a cupboard underneath! Oh, and easily a single charge for each (he made them on different days, so automatically put the battery on charge between!)

Really pleased with this. Easy to use and works well.
Good little drill. For the price, it could do with more than one battery
This is powerful little drill and ideal for many jobs. It’s easy to use with a decent quality chuck and good battery life. Battery charger is neat and charges quite quickly. But, for the price, it could come with an additional battery.
Fairly good for price
Bought as already have another of the same model which the charger cable had become broken so bought this to have 2 drills with one charger. Works fine, handy case, doesn’t have a great deal of power but typical of the voltage/power of similar drills. Ok for general jobs

Pretty good quality at an excellent price for a drill with torque settings.
Great for diy.
So easy to use but still quite powerful 2 year guarantee.
Very light and powerful machine, good value for money.
It’s a good one to use, but it wasn’t need it, and I send it back, if someone who needs it, I will recommend to get one of these.
Does what it says.
I have been using this to drill in loft legs and lay boards, has not let me dow. Easy to charge. Only thing I would of liked is a light on the drill, would of made my life easier.
Very good drill
I’ve had this same model drill for about 2 years and it’s done a lot of work.. Recently it’s developed a trigger fault so off to amazon for a vew drill. I saw this one in warehouse deals just over 35 so as I already had 2 batteries and a charger I ordered this.. Wow what a deal its as new came in box with charger and 1 battery works perfect. So thanks amazon for a great deal. The drill itself will tackle most jobs with ease

Holes in one!
Very pleased with this drill/screwdriver. Battery life is proving to be good and the hammer action excellent if the correct gearbox setting is used. All the advantages of a cordless and supplied in a good strong cary case. A good piece of kit.

100% recommended
Nearly a year later and I couldn’t be more happier. Only use it ever so often but this one is a tough cookie. Very reliable and haven’t had to charge it more than twice so far. Never owned one too so this has been idiot proofed!
Black and decker drill
Black and decker never let you down.. Arrived 2 days early. Powerful little drill. Made concrete seem easy to drill with correct drill bits..
Brilliant addition to a home tool ki
This is a brilliant addition to a home tool kit.
It has good battery life and is easy to use. I got it for a few DIY chores and now wouldn’t be without it.
Cool drill at the price
Use around the house for small projects, mainly for drilling and screw driving. Nice case easy to store and keep tidy. Handy screw driving action if you squeeze trigger lightly. very good value.
It works
WOW, it’s a drill. Just what I wanted, lucky I ordered it.
PS, it does what it should.
Great home driver/drill
Good price for a lightweight hammer drill well suited to home. Drills masonry and bricks no problem.
Great, powerful, easy to use.
Really happy with this drill. Lightweight, manueverable, great battery life it’s really been useful to me. Recommend it to any DIY fan.
Fab item value for money.
Hubby been using it to put up all sorts. He loves it it’s great.
Good drill, not so good case
Works well, holds its charge for a decent length of time and not too heavy to hold when using.
Only issue so far is that the case is very flimsy and the hinges broke after a couple of uses. Hopefully the drill itself will prove more durable.
Lightweight drill/driver.
Purchased this as a Christmas present for my daughter and she love’s it. Not to heavy, ideal for the diy jobs she can tackle around the house
Great Value
I was sick of swapping my drill bits and screwbits with my single drill so had a biggish project coming up so bought this on the off chance. It’s a really nice little drill, battery life is good, and is powerful enough to do most common DIY jobs. If you have some tough stuff to get through, then this might not quite cut the mustard, but everything attempted so far, it’s been perfect. Light is really bright and the trigger offers smooth control. Its well balanced which is surprising and represents good value. My only real critique is having to remove the battery every time I put it back in the case, my Bosch stores with the battery connected. It really isn’t a big issue, just more of an annoyance. Battery charging is quick and it will serve you well if you need a backup or like me something to use along side another. Great Drill, Good Value, recommended.
Versatile Drill and Ki
Brilliant all-purpose drill (Black and Decker drill-bits bought separately). Easy to use, effective on wood, walls, bricks etc. Good variety of speed and hammer action. Very reasonable price. Looks good and easy to handle. Helpful instructions.
