How it Failed...Later,

This review is from: Black & Decker SS12C 12-Volt Cordless Drill/Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)
Pros:
Good Design
Powerful 130 inch Torque
Fast Re-Charge to Finish few more screws
Tight Chuck--Plastic & Metal
Cons:
Battery won't hold charge long
No battery low indicator
No replacement battery or charger
New batteries are just as expensive as the drill itself.
When I first bought it 3 years ago I was thrilled for the amount of money it was and how it chewed through my projects. BUT then the battery stopped working, either it was charging too long and ruined the battery, or it just does not last I am not sure but it no longer holds a charge very long.

they just don't pack the punch of a drill. i can steady one hand underneath this while pressing 'THE TRIGGER' with the other. otherwise i never would have been able to install the screws on my door hinges. i know it's a drill so i probably shouldn't wish it could be smaller, but i do wish it was smaller. : And a tad lighter. there. i'm done.
