$75 Junk
I bought the drill because I knew I would use it quite infrequently. The drill sat in the box for 6 months before I used it. I used the drill in hammer mode twice with no problems. The first time I used it in normal mode the gearbox blew up! I was drilling through 2 2×4’s and a piece of Advantex with a 3/4 inch paddle bit. I haven’t tried to get the warranty but I’m sure I’m out of luck since I never registered it.
Don’t buy this PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!

Black & Decker USED to make good stuff…
I bought the Black & Decker Hammer Drill because I needed to drill a few holes into concrete. I have an old small 3/8″ Black & Decker drill that has been a great drill for 28 years. This new drill had enough power to drill holes in concrete and the hammer mode worked O.K. I only drilled 6 holes into concrete and used it a couple other times in regular drilling mode for some small wood projects when it just quit working. Nothing burned out, blew up etc. - just stopped. Then it started turning a little and intermittently; wouldn’t go full speed. I figured out the switch is messed up. I couldn’t get any warranty work done on it (don’t even get me going…) and I couldn’t even get a new trigger switch to fix it myself. I ended up having to buy another drill and threw this thing away. Big disappointment. Black & Decker must have gone overseas and gotten cheap. Too bad. On a positive note, my new Milwaukee Hammer drill hasn’t given me any problems at all. My verdict: put the money you’d spend on this product toward a better quality drill - you’ll be happier in the long run.
