More powerful than expected I have a 14 volt Black and Decker already and this one feels like it is more powerful than that one. From what I can tell already, it is great for most jobs. I’ve only had a chance to use it for a week now, but I love it. I like the smaller size in the 9.6V version. The charger for it is one of those tiny compact ones, not the usual giant one that they come with. I think my cell phone has a larger charger.
Batteries not available for this drill This is an OK drill for light work. However, you can’t find slide-in batteries for it. You have to buy another drill just to get the battery because the whole drill is cheaper than just the battery. I now have 2 of them.
