Perfect for light household tasks Tools

I had this exact drill about two years ago, and seeing the average review absolutely baffles me. I literally could not stand for this, and had to do my part to inform the public of the true story associated with this piece of junk. This drill has a battery pack that cannot be removed. It does not stand on its own. It will not hold a charge for more than a week. It barely has enough power to drill into drywall; the hole is most likely a result of pushing rather than drilling. The chuck wobbles. I struggle to think of one thing about this drill that does not absolutely suck. I suppose it being black makes it harder to spot than the traditional orange of B&D garbage, not much comfort there though. Honestly I could understand folks giving this 3 stars as for some it may seem average, but for anyone to give it 5 stars is lunacy. 5 stars means no complaints and if you have no complaints about this drill you have never touched a power tool in your life. Get a decent 18v at HF for the cost of this piece and use it until you are ready to drop a couple hundred on one worth buying.I do my own relatively light household tasks, and recently put up 3 8-ft serious-but-decorative shelves for books. My previous cordless drills had died, so I ordered this one. The price was great, and it had more power than more expensive drills I saw at a local home repair store. It was perfect for the job. LOVE the keyless chuck -- it takes very little effort to do the extra "twist" to secure the bit. It is so simple to use -- even someone who doesn't like household repair/ improvement jobs will warm up to this one. It holds a good charge, at least so far. I finished the shelves some weeks ago, and that job required a fair amount of serious drilling into studs (12 holes) and compressed board shelving (12 holes). I just got it out to drill holes for drywall sinkers, and the power was as good as ever. (Apologies if this comment displays a lack of familiarity with how long a drill charge SHOULD last; I was glad only that I didn't have to recharge it before using it again -- my other drills had to be recharged if you left alone for more than a day or two.) The only drawback was that it came w/out a 2-way screwdriver tool that my other drills came with, clicked into its own little groove on the handle. Fortunately I had saved one when I threw out the other drills. That is the only reason I gave it a 4-star; I really wanted to give it a 5.
