I didn't have much experience with drills, and ended up being misled by the product description and reviews into thinking I could use the drill bits provided to drill into metal. The drill bits this comes with are brad point drill bits, which are not multi-purpose: These are intended specifically for wood. They have a point on the end that prevents drilling into hard material - it will just spin in place without getting anywhere. You technically can manage with these bits, but it takes a long time and is likely unnecessarily dangerous. This is what I did, and how I know it manages metal just fine: I ended up accidentally breaking off the tip of one of my bits, and it drilled through metal pretty easily at that point.I initially thought that the product description was misleading, but taking another look, it just says that the drill can be used to drill metal (which is true), not that it includes the hardware necessary for it. However, a response from STANLEY BLACKDECKER in the QA explicitly says that it includes bits for metal, which is untrue. I would be willing to believe that's out of ignorance of the product specifics, rather than malice though.Either way, judging by reviews and QA answers, this is definitely a big point of confusion which could have easily been cleared up in either the item description or manual, but wasn't. This seems like a bad decision for both customers and the manufacturer, since they got a lot of negative reviews from people thinking the drill is too weak to drill through metal. I'd deduct at least one star from that.Apart from that, it's worked well for me. The battery life seems pretty impressive - I had it sitting unused for years, and the battery still had a charge when I used it. However, initially after that wait I started seeing sparks from inside the vent. The manual says to use compressed air to clean it out regularly, and it had probably accumulated a lot of dust inside, so I'll take the blame for that. It no longer happened after cleaning it out.

its easy to use and nice size.

I have tried to use my son's drill and found it too heavy for me. This drill is perfect. I've been using it all day. Putting up shelves and other things that I ve wanted to pur up for awhile. I love it. Will be repairing my fence tomorrow.

I'd have preferred if it came with a case to put the bits in but it's fine...I'll make one. It's lightweight, and though I got it for my husband, my daughter is in love with it.

It's light weight and does the job. I have small hands, it fits my hand and very good ergonomically

Muy bueno, y versatil

Very light weight and gives enough torque to drill or drive in-out screws. The battery lasts for sufficient time, around 20 to 30 min if used rigorously. Worth the money. Kit of drill bits is very handy.

gifted this to my husband and he loved it! Very easy to use

When I first moved in to my new place, I thought I'd buy the cheapest drill I could find, since I didn't care if I had to plug it in to a wall. I don't have a workshop, though, so any time I need to drill something, it's right where that thing is situated, which in turn means that a cord is a hassle to manage. This tool charges decently quickly, lasts as long as I've needed it to, and has been plenty strong. Of all the drill bits I've broken with it, none have been the ones which were included with the drill itself, which seem to all be high quality. A good value, in my opinion.

I've used a number of battery-powered drills over the years and quickly learned that the higher-voltage batteries let you do a lot more with the tool; this drill has to date proven to be a very capable tool for its size thanks to the 20V battery system. It's lightweight for its size and has had enough power torque to handle all but one of the tasks I've thrown at it, and will likely buy another for family members when the (MUCH older) plug-in electric drills they have eventually stop working.The reason I emphasize non-professional grade is that when I attempted to remove some old cabinets from the kitchen wall, this drill was unable to budge some of the mounting screws at all. We had to call in a handyman who used a larger, more powerful plug-in drill to remove the screws brackets from the wall, but even he said they were really jammed in there tight so I don't fault my smaller hand drill for not succeeding. (The cabinets had been in place for over 50 years so the screws were practically part of the wall by that point.)Again, this is a very capable tool for the price, and I have no problems recommending it for regular heavier household hobby use.

It's easy to use for a first time starter kit. I got this when I got my first apartment. It's easy to use and the pieces are easy to change out. It is a little heavy but you get used to it.

Battery works for long

I haven't had a lot of uses for this yet, but I have installed 2 shelves, and used this for some home repair. Very great tool so far.I haven't had a chance to test battery life, but so far I haven't had to charge it.It's very comfortable, and easy to use.

I am very satisfied with the drill works great around the house

Son in law loves his drillIt's so handy to carry around

Well the battery died on my old drill and it's was cheaper to buy a whole new drill and battery. Used it the day I received and couldn't be happier. I'm a senior citizen and woman and no problem handling drill.

The product itself is awesome, easy to use and recharge. I just believe it should come in a case.

Very good for the price

I purchased this to use for household things. It is not too heavy, has nice power...keeps me from borrowing my husband. Yes, I recommend.

Great light weight drill. Easy to use. I installed the knife holder and solar lights on my deck stairs! Best of all the battery interchanges with all my other black decker products; leaf blower, weed eater shrub/hedge trimmer.
