Title: Disposable by design
Review: I'm not sure what convinced me to buy another Black & Decker tool. I knew they were junk. Maybe my kids were distracting me at the store and I just wanted to get out in a hurry. Anyway, it worked a few times, but pretty quickly, the hub stopped engaging, although the motor would still spin. I took it apart and there is a rubber belt that attaches to a plastic gear (that's right - plastic). The belt had shredded and melted the plastic gear. It looks like quite a few other reviewers have had the same problem. These parts stood no chance of lasting under any kind of use. I'm off to hunt for the receipt. Black and Decker should give up on tools and stick to home improvement books.
