BLACK+DECKER Hammer Drill, 6.5-Amp, 1/2-Inch, BEHD201

Exactly what I needed, priced competitively.

This is my review of the Black and Decker 6.5 AMP 1/2in Hammer Drill. Black and Decker previously has not been my choice for tools. But, that has changed over the recent years, as other brands have become very expensive. I purchased the cordless version of this drill, previously and had good results with it and it has held up well through all the household projects that I have used it. I also have the Black and Decker cordless Max Lithium-Ion Cordless 5-1/2 in. Circular Saw and truly like using this saw for small projects. My new Black and Decker 6.5 AMP 1/2in Hammer Drill can handle all the jobs that my cordless drill just doesn't have enough power to handle. While drilling into the backyard patio deck I needed the power of a Hammer Drill to get to the needed depth to sink screws to secure the posts to the concrete. I have another drill that I had to use water to keep the masonry bit cool while trying to drive in the bit. The Hammer Drill made quick work of going through the concrete to the correct depth, each time. So now I have a very good drill to add to my continuing line of Black and Decker tools that are not costing me a fortune and are holding up over time. Good job Black and Decker!
