Title: Drilled only four holes then it broke.
Review: This drill is junk! Zero stars! Drilled four holes then the thing rattled and wouldn't rotate. I had a similar $29 Harbor Freight drill that was better. It only lasted one year. So I bought the B&D thinking at $50 it had to be at least as good...but it was worse. I usually can fix just about anything so I took the gear case apart to see what was wrong. The gears just don't line up. I then tried shimming the gear shaft to get the gears lined up but the internal drive is a sloppy mess. The problem is with the hammer/drill feature. Internally it shifts the gear position for each mode but instead it basically disconnects the motor from the chuck after a little use. Also there was almost no grease in the gear case. But grease won't fix the problem...bad design! The B&D drill is now in the landfill and a new RIDGID drill is in the garage and it cost only a little more than these two junk drills combined.
Is the review positive or negative?
