I got this drill over 12 years ago. I am amazed that it's still working just as good as when I got it. I still have the original charger and battery and I've never had an issue with it. There aren't enough products you find these days that are reasonably priced that also last more than a few years. This has outlasted many vehicles, phones, furniture, and went far beyond my expectations. I finally had to write a review on it.
It shouldn't have stars at all! Very disappointed with this product. It's practically brand new! I'm not able to recharge the battery at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For crying out loud, I wish I had done a little research before buying this drill. I just needed a handy drill, something that did the small and odd jobs I needed. These days I've been finding myself needing to use it more and more often, still nothing as intense as major construction projects, but it's getting irritating having to stop because the battery is dead/dying. I see this is a "Best Seller", well I'll never buy another because I can't get something as simple as an extra battery so I can keep moving on all the little projects and the such. It would be perfect if there were extra batteries for it available. While the battery issue is big enough I'll never buy a B&D drill again, it's done its job admirably up until now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This drill is absolutely terrible. No matter how much you charge it, what holes you drill before you put the screws in, and how much pressure you put In, it will not screw wood together. Spend the extra money and get something other than this.

Bought this to do pilot holes in plastic fence surrounding our patio. For the effort needed I should have stuck with my awl!

I recently arrived in the country and of course I don't know what the brand trusts the public. Black and Decker was my company that I trusted in my previous country, which made me after receiving this product unfortunately change my mind about this company. This drill my wife bought after we trusted this reliable brand company, on black friday shows, but since 2 months of use the battery is not working, it gives me a red light, and the charger was very hot. Therefore, I feared something tragic would happen if I continued to put it in the electricity, God forbid. The trademark may differ from that in my previous country. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. ; (
I bought this drill to raise and lower the stabilizers on my camper, it does this in seconds. The battery holds its charge for weeks, mind you I’m only using it a hand full of times a month. If you’re looking for a light weight, compact drill this is it.
