I'm faaarrr from a home-repair kinda gal. I figured for the stuff I'm going to tackle on my own, I couldn't need more than a plain ol' Black and Decker one-speed drill. And that's what I had for a long time. Then, when we bought a house, we got the...

I got one for x'mas 1998. It was one of the best things I ever got. The drill ran for 25 minutes of continuous drilling into a brick wall. Then the battery dies, but the charger actually charges the regular packs in about 25 minutes, rather than 1...

Pros: A drill you can use on anything...

We bought one of these when we were getting ready to sell our house, before our recent move to Alaska. My husband had been complaining about having to drag the old heavy drill around and having to hook up extension cords to work outside on the deck.And a...

Pros: Light weight
Cons: Yellow handle shows dirt

I bought this Dewalt 12Volt drill for reroofing my barn's metal roof. The drill has much more power and battery life than I expected. My friend brought his 12 volt Black and Decker to help, and mine would drill holes much faster than his. I have also...
