For the concrete work, it was a reliable and inexpensive choice. But for drilling steel (new bits) or mixing spackle, I wound up (no pun) burning it out.

It is not like my father's old Black & Decker 1/2". The torque alone would rip you a new one. ;)...But for anything else, I'd get something more durable..perhaps a Milwaukee.

Avoid Buying Any Type Of Drills From Black & Decker (Rating: 1.00)
Review : I have not used this drill that much and the cooling fan broke.
You have to buy a new armature to get a new fan. The armature is back ordered and not available from the company. I guess this is a big problem with this model drill. The last 2 Black & Decker drills I owned were junk, this drill was a gift as was the second.I have only purchased 1 Black & Decker for myself and this is why! Avoid anything from Black & Decker unless you want something to throw away in a year.
