Wow, what a great value from Amazon. I built my entire deck with this drill on two charges. It has all the power I need around the house.
I looked at several other makes at more than twice the price before I bought this unit. I'm very happy I went with this one. The chucking system works very well too.
I have no complaints with this fine product from Black & Decker. Shipping was very fast too.

I don't own this drill, but I used my friend's to build a huge outdoor wooden playsets. It took three days to build, and did it all on one charge.

One really great feature on this drill is the ability to increase or decrease the amount of torque. What I built was made out of cedar, which can split really easy especially the thin planks around the railings.

I'll be picking one up.

I just received the drill so haven't given it much of a workout yet. But I am impressed with the torque...it really makes even my dull bits look good. (I really plan to sharpen those bits....someday.) I have been using a 14V B&D for several years and I get nothing but slippage with the bit going nowhere. In fact I bought Skill AC drill for the rough stuff...which will now go in my RV and this 18V will take the place of all my other drills. I also like the ability to pick a useable torque for setting screws, an impossible task with any other tool I ever had.
I really like having the two batteries included although I doubt I willl be doing enough drilled at one sitting to run out of battery power.
Again in my life I asked myself; "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

Black and decker drills I believe have been proved to be very good and durable, this is not exception;the unit arrived without any problems, the seller shipped fast and the price was hard to beat.

This is one tough drill. The Black & Decker HPD18AK-2 18-Volt High Performance Drill will do the job. Lov all the features and it feels very well built and does not fail on the tough jobs.

This is a great drill and has lots of power. Came with 2 batteries which is even better. I have used it for almost everything. I have had no issues with this drill at all.

Very nice drill. I had the previous version of this for several years and when it died I decided to replace it with the same type because I already had several batteries for it.

I moved into my own place a couple years ago and bought a 3.2 volt tiny drill for all my drilling needs. Even in my tiny condo I've had a couple projects where a drill that small just doesn't cut it. My latest project was to install shelves on a wall, which required drilling a 2.5" screw directly into a stud. I didn't even have to pretend like my drill was going to work, so I borrowed a neighbor's 14 volt, and that got... some of the screws all the way in. I decided to pull the trigger and buy this one for $70 or so, if only to finish up the job and collect dust until I move to my next house, but it's clearly a powerful drill. For larger projects, the second battery pack that comes with it will be very useful too so I can be charging one while using the other.

It comes with an extra battery which is awesome for a guy that works on long projects instead of having to stop in the middle to charge the battery. My husband was super surprised that I knew exactly what to get him!

Got this drill after getting married for our new home and it works great. Also holds a charge for a long time and is compact in it's carrying case.
