Black & Decker LDX120C 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill/Driver

As a certified "Old Geezer", it is not worth it to me to buy things that will last a long time. I'm the kind of person that will buy the cheap shoddy piece of crap several times rather than the "Good one" the first time. Here again, at my age, it usually works out.

I have used cordless drills since they became popular in the 70's, but generally the lower end of what was available. Most all of these were NiCad battery powered and in the early days didn't use replacement battery packs but had them permanently placed in the drill body.

A few years ago a store opened in our area that had cheap cordless drills at a bargain basement prices. (I don't want to embarrass anyone here, but I think their name rhymes with "Barber Gate".) So, for the price of 5 Big Macs, you had yourself a cordless drill. Problem was a couple months later when the batteries in the thing went kaput, you had to buy a new battery pack from them for the price of 4 Big Macs. Or, you could have bought the extended warranty for the price of one Big Mac when you bought the drill, but buried in the fine print it said that the battery wasn't covered. So you pony up 5 more Big Macs and get another one.
After a box full of now useless drills, I'm thinking, maybe this time it wasn't worth being so cheap.
Now the search for a replacement starts.

I find this one, looks like it will fill the bill, and what sealed the deal for me was that it has a futuristic ray-gun look about it. Win-Win!
Say no more. I plunk down 12 Big Macs, get it a couple of days later, charge it up and I'm off to the races.
I might be cheap and old, but when it comes to getting a new toy in the mail, I'm a nine year old kid all over again. I drilled holes in everything all day. It was great!

How long will it last? I did a couple of medium large projects and it has not been re-charged. Since I haven't had it for two months at this point, the final chapter has yet to be written, especially since I don't use or need it on a daily basis.
So, if you don't have a Sears near you where you can get the "Good Stuff", I would highly recommend this one.
