Black & Decker GCO18SB-2 18-Volt NiCad 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver with 2 Batteries and Storage Bag

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I bought this item for the total package. I already have firestorm drill with dual speeds and a removable chuck. It is a fantastic drill, but the batteries gave up the ghost long ago. After a lot of research I purchased another battery from Amazon (http://amzn.to/15YbOdp). This batter has been great, but it is $30 on its own. After completing a recent project, I realized I needed another drill and figured another battery couldn't hurt. When I saw this item for $50 with 2 batteries I figured I couldn't go wrong.

I was almost correct. The drill is pretty weak as expected, but it covers all of my needs. My only gripe, and the reason for my 4 star rating, is that the two included batteries are far lower capacity than the one I purchased before. That is expected given the price, but combined they weight about the same as my other battery. While I initiall thought this was a great deal I am still happy to report this is a good deal.
