Black & Decker 14.4 Firestorm Cordless Drill - Need a Hole?

by lpmiller , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Plenty of power, 2 batteries, a handy case
Cons: Urge to drill is strong. Must drill. Must....drill....must...SPOCK!!!
I don't know, I think my fetish started as a child.

My dad wasn't the most coordinated man in the world. Why, I remember the hammered 2x4 that came flying out of no where only to hit me in the head. The belt sander that ran over my hands....

by gkao , Nov 13 '00
Pros: Performance, Dependable, Price
Cons: It's not yellow
"What else can I drill now?"

I found myself saying this a lot ever since getting this 14.4V FireStorm. This tool really is a must for any do-it-yourself-ers.

Power!
At 14.4 volts, this puppy has power. This...

It's got it all.

by Oscar478 , Feb 07 '00
Pros: Perfect design, powerful, not too expensive.
Cons: the free screwdriver bit is cheap.
Sometimes the best things come when you're not expecting them. I told my brother I wanted the Firestorm cordless circ saw for xmas, and he got me this instead. Rather than ask for the receipt and return it, I kept it.
Keeping it was the right...

The best bang for the buck

by dksoreal , Dec 14 '00
Pros: Price, Power, Multi-position Clutch
Cons: Hard to use in tight quarters
I happened to be Christmas shopping at a Black & Decker store for a present for my father. I noticed some cordless tools on display and had to go play. I have used many other cordless drills and have never found one I really enjoyed, that is until...

Good all around cordless.

by brodie6 , May 13 '02
Pros: Two long life batteries, Great carrying case, very good power, ergonomics.
Cons: Can't handle long demanding jobs.
If I only had one drill that I could ow,n it would be this one. I would be lost without it. I use it a least once a week on something. I have owned it for approx. two years and have not experienced any problems whatsoever. I have dropped this bad boy...

Just walk on by...

by morninwood , Jul 12 '04
Pros: NOTHING AT ALL
Cons: EVERYTHING
I got a Fire Storm combo pack (14.4) about a year ago and it has been nothing but disappointing since the first use. I will give them some credit on the price that they offer this combo pack for but for what you get, it's just not worth the money. ...

Firestorm Performs Well

by lspan2k , Sep 14 '04
Pros: Good value, power and speed. Well-balanced.
Cons: Lacks a bubble level on top. Rubber grip cover wants to peel off.
I purchased the drill for use around the house, drilling holes in soft and hard woods, soft brick and mortar joints. Also, it gets used as a cordless screwdriver. I have had the drill for about four years. It came in a fitted case with two batteries and ...

Not that great

by deckmaker , Jan 01 '01
Pros: None
Cons: No power,There are 9.6 volt drills with more power than this one
Even for the homeowner who is only a weekend "warrior" This drill can let you down.

My wife baught me one (she knows nothing about power tools but, she tried)

I thought I would give the drill a fair shot! I was...

Love the drill, HATE THE BATTERIES

by dwar , Sep 01 '07
Pros: Works great, lots of torque.
Cons: BATTERIES DESTROY CHARGER AND CHARGER DESTROYS BATTERIES! YOU CAN'T WIN!
I've had this drill for about 8 years now, and it just fried its SECOND battery charger, right in the middle of a big deck project. The drill itself is GREAT. I've used it a TON, dropped it on the concrete, left it in piles of sawdust, and it just ...

Highly Recommended

by cr_gorge , Apr 09 '01
Pros: Powerful, Well Balanced, Great Price, Battery easy to change, High speed or High Torque
Cons: Haven't found any in three months use.
I've owned a 14.4v Wagner for about 4 years but just upgraded to a Black & Decker.
The Black & Decker is a real pleasure to use!
I got this drill packaged with the cordless Circular Saw (I like it a lot too), Blades, Two Batteries, Charger,...

Big Toys for Big Boys

by ABgBdWlf , Apr 20 '00
Pros: light weight, fan cooled motor, two batteries, low price, great torque, nice looking, comfortable grip
Cons: pieces fit loosely in case, have to buy bits for it
Well, here goes...this is my first attempt at this and I hope that y'all get something out of it. I have been wanting a cordless drill for sometime. Why? well I guess that I just reached an age where I felt the need to build stuff. Anyway, I had looked...

The Definitive Handyman's Tool

by evanfury , Mar 01 '00
Pros: Powerful, inexpensive
Cons: No real disadvantage
My family has a horse breeding farm, and a consequence of owning animals is that you often have to make repairs on fences and barns. To hang a gate, for instance, requires that you drill at least two thick, deep holes. I bought my stepdad the Black and...

Great drill/driver

by klx69 , May 13 '02
Pros: hard worker
Cons: none
I am really enjoying this drill, It has up to 12 settings for the pressure you need on the bolt or screw you are working with. It does not where the batteries down really fast. It puts the torque on the head you need for small or medium jobs. I fell it...

Takes a lick'n and keeps on drill'in

by pbalmeo , Sep 03 '01
Pros: An Engineer has abused this drill, yet it comes back 4 MORE!
Cons: None!
What can I say. I love to build things. This drill has been tortured by me! When you give a building toy to an Engineer he/she will use it till it can't be used anymore. This drill is still being used till today. I've put fences, environmental clean...
