Black & Decker FSX18HD Review by S "S"
I've been using this drill for a few weeks now and it is much better than the standard variable speed B&D drill. The standard one would stall out on even mildy tough wood. This one is definitely worth the few extra bucks. The other one is a glorified screw driver.
Black & Decker FSX18HD Review by jlight
I have had the drill for only a few weeks, however I have given it a fair work out. I am happy with the drill considering the price. I have not used the hammer feature on it yet. I have noticed it draws down the battery a bit quicker then my other Firestorm tools. I do recomend the tool for home use. I am not sure it will hold up to contractor use but considering the price, you can by 4 or 5 firestorms to 1 Dewalt.
Black & Decker FSX18HD Review by Jacob L. Tate (Yakima, WA USA)
The drill was priced right and it arrived a day ahead of schedule. If you don't have a B&D battery-operated drill, this would be a great one to have. The 1/2" chuck is rugged and grips well. The motor has a lot of torque and the variable speed and reverse are first rate. The auxiliary handle is welcome and easy to take on and off. The drill is heavy, but one might expect that from a hammer drill. The drill body is the same as a 3/8" version that I have owned for some time and superior--in my opinion--to some of the other B&D drill bodies.
This is the third B&D 18 volt drill that I own. The other two just won't seem to die and I use them almost every day. I find it especially handy when putting in a lot of screws (like on a fence) to use both drills: one for the pilot hole and the other as a driver. This new one is the first hammer-drill that I've ever owned, though I have used such tools before. I'm looking forward to trying it out really soon on a handrail project at my son's home which means drilling into a concrete sidewall on the concrete stairway leading up to his home's upper level.
If I have any complaint with B&D 18-volt tools, it's that the battery packs don't last long enough (for me, anyway) and tend to take a low-charge "memory" after a time. I own 9 such batteries now, and by careful planning always have several charged one's on hand. B&D (now part of the Rockwell-Delta-Porter Cable family of tools) has come out with an 18-volt lithium ion battery, but the price is prohibitive--even though the company doesn't exactly give away its regular batteries, either.
Still, I would suspect that the way to obtain the lithium ion batteries is to purchase more B&D 18-volt tools; usually, in such cases, the price of the tool and the battery/charger is less than the price of the battery, alone. This is how I came to own so many. But, of course, I've got a lot of other tools that run off these batteries. And that's something else that I really like about the B&D 18-volt tools: there is such a wide variety of them and the company comes out with more all the time. I have a reciprocating saw, circular saw, two saber saws, two sanders, a light, a radio, a power scrubber, three drills, a leaf-blower, and a hedge trimmer that all run off the same batteries. I especially like the power scrubber; it makes washing my old motor home so very much easier.
Sorry to prattle on, but I've got a lot of decades under my belt and I expect that, after I'm gone, these B&D tools will serve my sons just as well as they did me--for many years!
