We're big DIYers and most of our tools are DeWalt (the same company as B&D I think). However, there are times when all you need is a handy, lightweight drill for drilling holes or driving in the odd drywall screws. This exercise does its job very well. I love that they moved the LED light to the base which illuminates your work better than if it were near the chuck. They also have moderately increased battery capacity compared to previous models.
