Prepared to make short work of demanding projects -- this corded driver is small enough to maneuver easily in tight spaces, and it's perfect for around-the-house jobs or tasks in the workshop. The DR250B is packed with power and convenience features, including the Double Gear Reduction system that increases the durability and improves the performance of this versatile drill. It boasts a keyless chuck design so bit changes are a snap, and a reversing brush system that gives you full power both in forward and reverse settings. The mid-handle design provides real balance and comfort for tricky angles or long jobs, and a soft grip gives your fingers plenty of traction for better precision. Just to keep everything close at hand, this model also offers on-board bit storage. This rugged drill/driver offers a variable speed of 0-1,500 rpm, with a 3/8-inch capacity in steel and a 1-inch capacity in wood. It comes with one double-ended screwdriving bit and a storage bag.

 Great Drill October 1, 2009
Ilya (Brooklyn, NY)
I was looking for an inexpensive powerful drill. I found both in this one. It is comfortable and powerful. I bought this drill to do chores around my apartment...hang shelves, cornice, drive a screw etc. I would buy it again.
 Plenty of power, chuck is junk March 11, 2009

I will let the other reviewers tell about it's power. The chuck will not hold a drill bit no matter how hard you tighten it. It will slip and leave the bit stuck in whatever you are drilling. Every time. It's like B&D took an old key chuck and put plastic grips on it. I would rather have a key chuck. It will hold onto hex drivers if they're bottomed out in the chuck. If they're not bottomed out, they will slip once you put pressure on it. And like another reviewer noted, the chuck gets stuck and you just about have to use Channel locks to get a hex nut driver out after using it. If you use this as either a drill or a driver it may make you very angry.
Excellent Product !! February 8, 2009

This is definitely one of the BEST products I have bought. It is deffinitely worth every penny you spend on this. Wood or Metal, it handles with care. Very useful for light projects. Very sturdy. Stable.
An excellent buy. I am not sure what other reviewr's say about the chuck stuck and drill bit breaking etc..
I have used this drill in many of my projects and I would say this is the best in it's category.

I don't have a lot of time to work on home improvement projects, so when a free weekend rolls around, I would like for my tools to work. After a series of frustrations with cordless drills (battery never charged when I need to use it) I bought this corded drill. The first project I worked on was hanging curtain rods. When I tried to drive a screw into wood (after drilling a pilot hole), the chuck froze up and wouldn't turn to release the bit. After wrestling the bit free, the chuck still wouldn't open or close.
I returned that particular drill, and like a moron, got another of the same model. Same project, same wood, same screw, same problem - the chuck just froze up and wouldn't turn one way or another. I'm done with this drill - it might work for driving screws into butter, but the chuck breaks if you try to do any serious work.
Good product August 5, 2008

My husband purchased this drill and is very happy with it. It does exactly what he expected it do. He has always been happy with Black and Decker as they do what they promise.
