Default looking to replace B&D 1/4 corded drill

I dropped my 'old' Black & Decker 1/4 inch drill motor (now called corded
drill ???), and broke the brush holder among other things. Tore down and
put brush back (even though holder itself was 'missing'). Seemed like a
good fix untill I drilled 3 holes the other day. Then it quit again, with
the telltale smell of burnt electrical ????

So, after Google search, visit to Walmart, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and check at
Sears.com, I haven't been able to locate a replacement!

Does anyone know where a 1/4 inch corded drill (relatively cheap) can be
obtained? Or am I looking for something that is no longer manufactured?
Yes, there are a few out there, but at $100 dollars and up, not for my
occasional need once or twice a year.

Thanks in advance,
Ace


Buy a variable speed 3/8" or wait for the garage sale season.
1/4" drills are virtually obsolete.


Jeez, around here those go for like a buck at garage sales. If I had an
old Black & Decker 1/4" corded drill motor which broke, I'd light a candle
to the saints and bless my lucky day, and go buy a cordless drill.
