Black & Decker USA 1/2" Heavy-Duty Spade Handle Drill Review/Teardown

This is the good one, the one you want next to the Milwaukee 1660 but this one has a more elegant body design and easier to replaced switches.
Model #1321

Was also sold as the DeWalt DW131, and by Sears as the Craftsman Industrial 2711.

If you're curious, Autozone seems to be clearing out the Duralast Encapsulated 1/4 Ratchets right now and they're only $10. Currently the 3/8 are still full price.

Mr Maximus, It is good to see this classic, American made tool found its way to the right owner. I would respectfully suggest that with its inflated prices, Ebay is just about the WORST place to shop for used tools. Lastly, I wonder whether the drill is older than the Linoleum floor. 🤔

It's likely that the drill is older. Its from the mid 1970's

@@NKWoodworks If I had to bet, my money would be on the Linoleum. 😉

Great review, ty. Ditto about Ebay, I've practically quit shopping there. Recently found a vintage Skill drill, at a neighborhood estate sale, for $15.00. It too is well used but it works okay. Really appreciate your grease advice.

Very cool!
