Fast, Easy Adjustments with Smart Select
Unlike most drills, Black & Decker Smart Select Drills make it easy to set your drill up correctly for specific jobs. Instead of having to guess which clutch, speed, and torque settings are right for a task, you simply pick the icon that most accurately represents that job you're taking on. Correctly setting your drill reduces the possibility of stripping a screw head, snapping a screw off, or driving too far into your work surface.

The 11 easy-to-read project icons let you account for driving small and large screws, drilling narrow and wide holes, and working with wood, metal, or plastic. Even experienced craftsmen are likely to enjoy the way this eliminates the trial and error process, which can result in damaing your work surface or project materials. This improved functionality is sure to be a bonus, whether you're building a doghouse, hanging bookshelves, or assembling custom furniture.

Cordless Design that's Comfortable to Grip
A rechargeable 12-volt battery means that this drill has plenty of power to meet the needs of most homeowners. 12-volt drills are popular because they offer an excellent compromise between low-voltage drills (for example, 4V), which serve as power screwdrivers, and high voltage drills (for example, 24V), which can be heavy, cumbersome, and unnecessary for ordinary tasks. And since this drill is cordless, you won't have to worry about straying from your power source, tripping, or threading a cord into an awkward space for a quick repair.

Any tool that fits comfortably in your hand improves your ability to get jobs done quickly and precisely, and a well balanced drill is no exception. This Smart Select Drill offers a T-style handle placed near the middle of the drill for improved comfort. The T-style grip distributes the tool's weight so that it doesn't tip forward and work against you on the job. And a T-style grip reduces wrist strain, so you can work comfortably for longer.

Another great feature is the keyless chuck, which means you'll never have to worry about a misplaced chuck key bringing work to a standstill. It's easy to change bits quickly, and you're less likely to have to stop and take protective gloves off than you would be with a keyed system. You'll find the ease of this setup extra convenient if you need to switch between driving and drilling often or if you wear gloves on the job.

This Smart Select Drill is backed by a full two-year warranty.

12V Drill/Driver, 12V battery, DC charger, and one double ended screwdriver bit tip.

Great tool
 
Review Date: August 4, 2009
Reviewer: Daniel Gardiner, Milwaukee, WI
I've had this drill for about a year, and have been very happy with it. The torque settings are pretty much standard, bit with images instead of numbers. It is powerful enough for everything I've thrown at it, seems well made and sturdy, and battery life is not bad at all. It has low speed low torque through low speed high/fixed torque and high speed for drilling. It fits comfortably in the hand. The drill bit holder on the side is pretty hard to get the bit out of, and I don't really use it as a result. Great tool, would buy again.
Brand new one for under $40? Can I say *kaching*?

JUST TO CLARIFY, it does come with a charger; I don't know if "connie" threw it away with the brown cardboard around it, but it's there.
It pugs in directly to the back of the handle, and the manual says 9 hours of initial charging, then 3-6 for full charges after that.

Now that we have that out of the way...

This isn't difficult to figure out, especially if you need a drill.
I was planning to just shop around locally for a used one, looked up "electric drills" on Amazon.com to see what the general price is like.. and there it is!! $33.99.
A 78% sale? EVEN BETTER. I do not know much about electric drills, but if I'm saving more than half, heck I would buy it just for the sake of paying only 1/4 the price!

I needed a drill to work with for installing hood pins on my new cf hood, and figured, I might as well invest in an electric drill (because they do come in handy, trust me), and might as well finish that project I started on my guitar... eh.. about 18 months ago.

It's easy, if you need an electric drill, buy this right now. APPARENTLY it's around $155. You pay around $34 instead.

I also bought the 30-piece drilling & screwdriving set. All for under $50, free shipping with super saving shipping. Thanks amazon.
They are saying you save over $100? Is this REALLY true?

I got this drill from Lowe's for $35.00. It is about the same price at other places. Why is the advertisement here saying it is in the $150 range normally and that they are saving you $113? Also, you have to add in the (sometimes really steep) price of shipping! Something smells here!
The Perfect Home drill

I bought this and have needed It 4 times already In 4 weeks just putting different things up and the smart technology really works. Sweet.
And what a great price! Unless I happened to catch a sale or deal of the day! The only thing at all. It does not have a carrying case! They really should have for this drill. It still on the original charge I gave It over 4 weeks ago, so the charge Is sure lasting. It fits well In your hand and Into tight side spaces(For the screw)as well. The 111 piece set I got at local True value on sale does have a case and have used it twice too now. So for anyone that wants a GREAT drill. I mean It's a Black & Decker! I can't reccomend enough compared to the 2 I've had to borrow before my purchase. This Is so Inexpensive. Like I said sweet deal. It does come with your standard flat head and philips on the other side that does come attached to It. So they will work for a lot. The smart technology Is great.
Excellent!!!
