4.0 out of 5 stars How it Failed...Later, February 21, 2012
By 
This review is from: Black & Decker SS12C 12-Volt Cordless Drill/Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)
Pros:
Good Design
Powerful 130 inch Torque
Fast Re-Charge to Finish few more screws
Tight Chuck--Plastic & Metal

Cons:
Battery won't hold charge long
No battery low indicator
No replacement battery or charger
New batteries are just as expensive as the drill itself.

When I first bought it 3 years ago I was thrilled for the amount of money it was and how it chewed through my projects. BUT then the battery stopped working, either it was charging too long and ruined the battery, or it just does not last I am not sure but it no longer holds a charge very long. I tried using it today for a few small screws and it died right in the middle of my project, which now I know can be blamed on the NiCad Battery tech, which takes much to long to charge and does not hold a charge like Lithium batteries. It also takes all night to charge fully.

The battery drains faster when you are outside in cold weather, as in most NiCad sets,... Read more

In the past I've owned a few of the 18v Firestorm Drill/Drivers and they where great for everything from my woodshop to medium heavy work in building and home repairs, but for a GP around the house drill/driver this is a very good option. I doubt anyone will expect a 12v Drill/Driver to compare to a higher voltage drill say 14v - 20v tools, but for small household projects this is all I'll be needing and would recommend this drill/driver to anyone looking to use for the same.

Over all it holds a good charge while performing doing projects, and when it's put up with a charge it seems to hold it very well. The chuck has been fine and I haven't had any issues with it or the other black & Decker tools I've owned. I would not recommend this as a professionals tool, but for the price it delivers very well used in the proper environment (around the house projects).

If your looking for something that is priced perfectly to get the job done without worrying about quality this is where its at. I have used this drill to do wire management on a desk, child proofing my cabinets, and repairing drywall. It still has power to boot... I used to own a Dewalt years back and this was probably a third the price and works better.
