Customer Reviews Great Product by .. Heather Uhles (Chicago, IL) This product is really nice. It is light and convenient, plus I like the movable head.
Irreplaceble piece of equipment by .. G. Patton () I have/had four cordless drills--24v to 9.5v--all B&D Firestorm. I say "had" because this product used to be a Firestorm 18V drill/driver and mine, one day, just quit. Regardless, I view it as the best drill/driver on the market. If there is a downside, it is that B&D lowered it to 12v rather than leaving it at 18v. The swivel head makes inserting screws above your head effortless; swivel the head around and the head gets closer to the work, without your hand getting in the way. The hex lock makes changing screw heads or bits a snap.
What about my other drills? I use them for, well, drilling, especially the 24V for concrete or well cured wood.
I HIGHLY recommend this product, and I haven't even bought it yet. I've been looking for a replacement for my 18V and this is as close as I have found.
gimmicky, but works by .. Knappdaddy (New York, NY) This drill reminds me of a riddle I heard when I was a kid, "What's the furthest you can be into the woods?"
The answer: "halfway".
So why would I need a drill that pivots 180 degrees? After 90 degrees, you're just repeating positions, and I only use 1 or 2 as it is. That being said, this is an okay little drill that has good battery life and gets the job done. my biggest issue is that the drill bits don't fully lock into place, wiggling annoyingly for about 1/4 cm in the socket. After heavy use, i can safely say they're not going anywhere, but i'd prefer a drill that I could tighten the bits with a key, regardless of how much the head pivots.
Cordless driver/drill by .. M. Bourda (Austin, TX USA) Love it. Makes mildly difficult jobs a breeze. Has just the right amount of power and versatility I need. I highly recommend this product.
Just what I need by .. nsomniak6 (CT) I have a joint hypermobility problem and can't deal with heavy objects for any length of time. This drill is light enough that I can work with it for more than short periods.
The angle adjustment is extremely useful although I wish it came with more bits. It has a decent amount of power for smaller jobs, but have come across jobs that it just can't handle. Overall, I am very pleased with this drill.
