A good budget drill with one major

As others have said, it doesn't stand upright on its base. A very odd mistake (?) to allow into production. Apparently, you have to pay more money for the ability to stand it upright. lol? This is 7.2 volts, it's not a heavy duty 18 volt gun, so don't expect to be drilling through brick any time soon with this. Also, I wasn't expecting this to behave like an electric corded drill, with it continuing to spin after you let off the gas. This works great on drilling pilot holes in my plaster walls, which is the main reason why I purchased this. I've also easily drilled wood screw into base door trim, etc.. For $20, this drill does everything you'd expect a light duty cordless drill to do. -2 stars for the ding on my counter top when it toppled over. That was silly of me thinking it would stand on its own...I received this BLACK & DECKER 7.2-VOLT CORDLESS DRILL for Christmas. I've been looking for a cordless drill for about nine months and had been looking at drills that were a bit larger and more powerful. However, even though this drill isn't quite what I was looking for, it's an exceptional drill. It has two speeds (325 & 650 rpm), can go in reverse, and the chuck is keyless. It's a very easy drill to use and is fairly light weight. The battery pack is built inside the drill and in order to charge it, you have to plug the charger into a socket on the drill. I've used this drill several times since receiving it and have not had any problems. In fact, the only criticism I have is that the drill doesn't include any drill bits or heads; you have to purchase a set of drill bits and heads separately. Overall, this is a great drill for someone who is a novice to beginning home repair type person. It'll also do a job for more experience handymen who are in the pinch.I don't want to be sexist, but let's face it- as a single girl, even one with a penchant for home improvement, there's not a high chance I'm going to be doing heavy construction- and this drill is PERFECT for me. I've owned 2 of these drills for 2 years. (I bought a second drill for my store) This drill is relatively lightweight, cheap but not cheap-feeling, and very, very reliable. I actually own a Makita and I prefer this one- mostly due to weight and it being so uncomplicated. After 2 years the batteries still hold charge exceptionally well and the power seems above average for a drill in this price range (Just yesterday I drove a 3in screw into 3inches of hardwood without predrilling) This drill has performed well when being used heavily and is reliable even when the battery has sat for weeks. I don't think it's the ultimate in power drills, but for the price, I do think it's a 5 star value.
