Any body have this drill it's an all aluminum body cordless dril . I bought one on Amazon brand new and wish I didn't.I only got it because I wanted something metal instead of plastic I so regret it. First off it's only 14.4 volt and it's from 2002 and battery is ni-CAD has a lot off features I like but every time I go to use it damn thing is dead.I charge it often and the battery level indicator always shows 3 bars. I wish I would have gotten a newer used drill, my drill was 180 bucks new and at the time it was new was a lot for a B&D. Don't get me wrong it is a very nice looking drill it's all ploished aluminium, and came with a special case, cleaning whipe even instruction book was made to look old school and all logos are retro lookin . I like the look of a new drill ,I need more power if anyone has used one let me know your experience .If you want one to collect or use there's nothing else like it only made one year. I'd trade it for a newer drill no HF one thoug . I've only used it a couple times and it's still brand new pm me.

I wanted one real bad when they came out, but talked myself out of it knowing the batteries would be dead and I'd be left with a cool looking paper weight.

been waiting to find one at a yard sale...I'd trade a dewalt 18v but I don't have the charger for it, rebuilt the battery and just use my adjustable power supply with alligator clips to charge it...
