I bought this as a Warehouse Deal, in the original box with a couple of scuffs, for $30 with free 2 day Prime shipping. My use is on my workbench for various drilling, brushing and cleaning jobs, as well as driving small fasteners while using the clutch. It's a second drill driver to supplement my Hitachi 10.6V unit, which has served me well for quite a few years now with no failures. My first impression of the unit is that it's certainly not commercial grade, but it's performance is impressive thus far. Very powerful and torquey for it's size and price. A nice touch is the wide base which makes it very stable when set down, not top heavy at all. The lithium ion battery is a vast improvement over the older NiCad technology, lightweight and powerful, and very forgiving of less than attentive battery charging habits like leaving it partially discharged between uses. It has a slight lag between trigger pull and motor start that takes a little getting used to, but it's a fraction of a second and not a big deal or time waster. The clutch is OK and does the job quite well; the chuck is of decent quality too. It lacks some features of more expensive units, like dual speed ranges and a higher number of clutch positions, but the gear ratio provided seems like a nice compromise between speed and torque. Overall, it's compact and lightweight, and a perfect fit for the bench work I do. The battery charger design is a bit less than optimum, somewhat cheaply made and requiring 2 hands to connect the battery to it, again not a big deal but a "drop in" charger is a better design and my personal preference. I honestly had not planned to buy a second drill driver for my bench, but at the price I couldn't pass it up and it allows me to have 2 drivers set up for different uses, and thus saves time by minimizing bit changes. My 5 star rating is based on ease of use, build quality, and power versus size and weight, and the very low price paid for a tool that will be used daily for years to come. I'm very pleased with it thus far as an "entry level" drill driver; it's just what I needed. It also bears mentioning that the compact size and lighter weight make it a great fit for female users, or anyone who wants good performance from a very compact and easy to handle, yet quite powerful, drill driver.
Update 05JUL22: I've had this drill driver for about 5.5 years now, and thought that updating this review would be appropriate. I use it several times a week typically, so it has accrued a lot of hours and handling. Still works like new, even the clutch which sees a lot of adjustment for various driving jobs. Battery still holds a charge like it did when new. The compact size and light weight of this tool really make it shine for day-to-day light duty work. For the price paid I can't gripe about a missing low speed / high torque setting, but if there's anything missing it would be that. I expect several more years of use out of this drill based on its current condition. I wish every tool I own gave me this much value for the price paid. Will buy another if this one ever wears out or fails. The Hitachi I mentioned earlier in this review (Model DS10DFL) has suffered a broken clutch detent spring at about 10 years old, and while waiting for parts this Black and Decker is substituting nicely.
