I ordered this for my husband. He loves it! The 4.5 amp power is more than enough for normal household uses. The main selling feature is the keyless chuck. No need to keep an eye on the "key". One great feature that is not mentioned above, is the drill comes with a carrying case and several screwdriver bits! I was shocked when I opened the box and saw this. My husband was so impressed! We highly recommend this drill!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific warranty, February 17, 2002

I was blown away by the good warranty on this drill (maybe any Black & Decker tool??). I got this same drill 14 months ago as a Christmas present. Something broke inside so I thought "oh no". But I walked into a B&D service center, (there are lots of them throughout the US), WITHOUT a receipt, the guy behind the counter looked at a date stamped on the drill (warranties are for 2 years), went in the back and brought me out a new one!! Case, bits and all! I was out of there in 4 minutes. Amazing. I'll be buying more B&D tools.

This review is from: Black & Decker DR210K 4.5 Amp 3/8-Inch Variable Speed/Reversing Keyless Chuck Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

For most ordinary household uses, this is a fine drill. It has good power and torque. However, I did have a minor problem.

I found the keyless chuck had difficulties grasping round drill bits. I had tremendous difficulties using a hole saw with this drill. Other round drill bits, such as one used to drill regular holes worked OK, but I still had problems getting the chuck tight enough (it seemed the bigger the bit, the more difficult I had). To be honest, I am not sure if the problem is with the product line or my drill only...
