Amazon.com Review:
The 5.2 amp 3/8-inch drill/driver from Black & Decker has a powerful motor that offers variable speed settings and a reversing function. Prepared to make short work of demanding projects -- this corded driver is small enough to maneuver easily in tight spaces, and it's perfect for around-the-house jobs or tasks in the workshop.

The DR250B is packed with power and convenience features, including the Double Gear Reduction system that increases the durability and improves the performance of this versatile drill. It boasts a keyless chuck design so bit changes are a snap, and a reversing brush system that gives you full power both in forward and reverse settings. The mid-handle design provides real balance and comfort for tricky angles or long jobs, and a soft grip gives your fingers plenty of traction for better precision. Just to keep everything close at hand, this model also offers on-board bit storage.

This rugged drill/driver offers a variable speed of 0-1,500 rpm, with a 3/8-inch capacity in steel and a 1-inch capacity in wood. It comes with one double-ended screwdriving bit and a storage bag.

Applications:
The DR250B drills holes in wood, metal, and plastic; it drives screws to fasten almost any material, assembles furniture, hangs pictures, and tweaks hardware with ease. This model is perfect for woodworking, home repair, or craft projects, too.

What's in the box:
Black & Decker drill/driver, one double-ended screwdriving bit, storage bag

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Another chucking failure
I don't have a lot of time to work on home improvement projects, so when a free weekend rolls around, I would like for my tools to work. After a series of frustrations with cordless drills (battery never charged when I need to use it) I bought this corded drill. The first project I worked on was hanging curtain rods. When I tried to drive a screw into wood (after drilling a pilot hole), the chuck froze up and wouldn't turn to release the bit. After wrestling the bit free, the chuck still wouldn't ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good product
My husband purchased this drill and is very happy with it. It does exactly what he expected it do. He has always been happy with Black and Decker as they do what they promise.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - works well
This corded drill works great. The bag is helpful especially since it has the cord.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Buy
My 30 yr old Craftsman 3/8" drill fitted with a chuck from another Mfg. drill I gutted, finally expired. I purchased the Dewalt 6Amp 3/8" to replace it and love that drill for heavy drilling duty. The only problem with the Dewalt is that the trigger will not lock down for sanding/buffing. So, I purchased this B&D drill & I'm very satisfied with it's operation. It's holding up well to rust grinding and wax buffing. For the price, I think it's a great deal.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than I expected
Just saw the same drill at Lowes for $33. $8 more than I paid thru Amazon. Used it yesterday for the first time, very powerful, variable speed, reversible. Couldn't have wanted a better drill.
