Works most of the tine, seems to have loose wiring to some degree as i had to slap the side of it to get voltage to both the switch and motor/ make it work, otherwise pretty good for 7.2v edit its the direction switch its just more finicy/fussy/gummy than it needs to be.
This is a small and light drill/driver. Takes on most household jobs with ease. Flat pack furniture is no problem, piloting wood and screwing a doddle. Plenty of charge for an afternoons work.
This is my second one, the first lasted over 10yrs. It wasn’t the drill that packed in but the charger, that has been changed on the current model so I couldn’t get a replacement.
This is the ONLY 7.2 volt drill on the market, and that is such a sweet spot in terms of power vrs weight.
A cracking piece of kit!!
Used this to put up a blind in the bedroom, worked great drilling into the wall! Had to buy the drill bits separately which was irritating but can’t fault how it works. I’m a newbie to DIY and was pleased at how easy it was to use
This was bought as a present for my daughter but it didn’t have the capacity to drill walls so it has been returned. In my opinion it is a nice lightweight drill in a good carry case. I can’t comment on anything else such as battery life
I use this for most jobs at my work doing maintenance electrical for a university sharing it with colleagues daily and they leave the larger more powerful combi drills gathering dust.
This is my Best Buy. I wouldn’t say it’s cheap, I would say it’s value for money because that’s exactly what it is and I love it as I bought by the price. It’s lightweight and easy to use. It’s made this woman’s jobs much easier. I use it nearly once a week doing all my gardening jobs. So happy with it that when it runs out of power just charge it up again!
This is brilliant. I’m 77 and my fingers aren’t strong. This drill charger is as small as a phone charger. It holds its charge well and drills wood with no probs.. Comes with a screwdriver bit which seems to work with a variable size of screw. Reverses to undo screws. Very lightweight. FANTASTIC!
Small size is good for confined spaces, useful addition to the other heavier drills in my kit. well worth the money and you will find many situations where it is handy.
I just spruced up my whole kitchen and this drill proved extremely useful. The battery lasted a long time. It’s easy to use and not heavy at all. It was perfect for taking cabinet doors off, changing 40 hinges and 20 handles and putting doors back. I only had to charge it twice. It missed out on 5 stars purely becase it’s not one of the most powerful models.
Really good product, but I was expecting it from this brand.
First drill I’ve owned and though not powerful it’s a great tool. No problem at all with plasterboard walls etc.. though it struggled on brick. But it very handy and easy to use. Definitely be buying the same type as a more powerful one as well. Excellent addition to your tool kit.
On receipt I was surprised how much smaller it was compared to my old B & D drill but despite the lowering of power from 18v to 12v, the drill was impressive and the lightweight nature of it very handy. Look forward to some bigger projects with it. The battery charged up over a shorter period than 8hrs.
I love this. Its small easy to use and charge. Its more of an electronic screwdriver rather than a drill so if you’re expecting something super powerful don’t go for it. It works well drilling into wood, plaster ect. So great for DIY.
Great little drill/screwdriver ,live in a flat,main tasks for me are fixing flat packs and hanging pictures,ideal for this,holds a chage well and as it is usb charging handy as you really dont need the special plug.
Perfect for furniture assembly, lightweight and battery lasted for days of fixing bits and bobs. It drills nicely into wood, plastics but not walls (no drill).
Looked into cheaper brands, but for the price difference, decided to buy into B&D known quality and don’t regret it. There’s no box, so if one is needed better to try and find the box set.
Laughing lots at some of the “reviews” from people moaning about the drill being useless for heavy duty work. What on earth did you expect, people? The description more than makes it obvious that it’s not designed or built for that. 😀
Bought this to replace another ageing B&D drill that my son “borrowed”. This is virtually identical other than it has a far superior battery, but didn’t cost very much more than the old one did several years ago. Add in the handy wee LED light and the fact it’s great for small LIGHT jobs, and it’s a winner for me. My lad can keep the old one.
The only very slight niggle is, there’s no clip to store the reversible driver bit, which the other drill had. A minor issue, but it was a useful feature that meant I still had the original bit years later. Black & Decker, take note.
As a tool to keep handy which can be used quickly anywhere and will fulfil a good 90% of my drilling / driving needs, though, this is great.
Seems like a solid tool well balanced nice feel good for lighter gauge metal but charger is a bit delicate unless you just leave it in one spot .On the whole seems like a step forward for B+D.
My requirements was someing small,compact and with a chuck big enough for a 8.5mm drill bit.
This ticked all the boxes for me,yes it’s not got the power of a 18v drill but for what I needed it for (drilling aluminium and hard plastic) it was more than adequate.Also it’s a nice weight in your hand so for young,old,male or female this is something all can use,
Pretty good battery life, as most cheap 10.8v stuff is pretty bad on battery life but this has been very good. But of course due to its smaller size some tasks are abit more time consuming than it would be with a bigger drill, but for me this is still not an issue as it’s not the main drill I use.
Torque settings are very accurate (you’d be amazed how out some cheaper ones can be!) and I’m yet to strip a thread or screw head using this as a screw driver.
Overall I’d buy it again as a back up drill and would recommend it for basic diy and flat pack furniture assembly or as a tradesman’ back up drill (like how I use it for in my job)
Only reason I give it 4 stars,there’s no case/bag with it,which lets it down,tho I carry it on my bag with my hand tools but for others this might be a issue and could put people off. Having said that for its price I guess including a case/bag would push the price up more.
I very Highly recommend this as a good budget drill
(NOTE! This is not for drilling into walls as it’s not a hammer drill!)
It’s fairly lightweight (for a screwdriver). The light that comes on as you’re screwing is brilliant and helps a lot in dark spots.I’ve had to buy some separate drill bits, they are dewalt and fit in as you’d expect. Charge time is quick, I charged for about 30 mins and it’s still going on some jobs a few days later. I reckon somewhere in the region of 100-125 screws have been taken out or put in. So a full charge will give more usage
The only qualm I have with it is that the battery doesn’t click into position as easily as it should, you do need to give it a push.
In short, this is Black and Decker, reasonable performance that won’t break the bank. As long as they is what you expect, you won’t be disappointed.
I bought this to help with a 4m x 4m garden deck I was putting together. Initially, I drilled and screwed together using it. Yep, It’ll drill into Pine CLS 4×2 and put a 100mm screw in. It’ll do that about 50 times before the battery is flat. In the end, I used a mains drill for pilot holes and this to put the screws in.
The motor is lively and no sparks here from mine.
What this is good for: It’s light, it does have a good clutch and variable speed on the trigger. It’s got plenty of torque on a decent speed motor. The forward/reverse can be selected while gripped. The chuck is certainly durable but it is a screw-thread not a ratchet one -what do you expect for 30 quid?
In all, it’s perfect for light to medium DIY tasks like flat-pack furniture and screwing wood together. It works well as a drill for pilot holes. I didn’t try it on masonry, I think I’d use my mains drill for that though.
The small box of B&D of drill bits and drivers is recommended too – they are tough and the HSS drill bits were up to drilling clean through 6mm sheet metal. The posidrives are good, they did fit correctly.
The build quality is great. The battery seems to last a long time (and it is a lithium battery so it should keep lasting, unlike older Ni-cam batteries).
I doubt this drill would be much use on brink or masonry, but that is not what it is designed for. It is a great quality and great value for money drill for lightweight work.
