I had a B&D drill for about 15 years which I rather liked, and it

Anyway, just dug out the chuck and gave it to my dad, who had a
similar B&D drill, but with a less well made chuck which wore out.
These chucks have a 10mm threaded shaft to screw into the drill
(with a finer pitch than a standard M10 bolt), and don't seem that
easy to find anymore.


I've still got a black and decker model 1 going. I inherited it from my
father. I've the original receipt somewhere for about £1/9/11 (£1.50) It has
a 1/4" chuck locked by an allen key, and is very short but not very powerful
250w?). It's main use is getting into confined spaces, but I seem to find
more modern items for that these days. days.
