Default Re: Show us your drills!

I also had my first B &D drill when I was about 14, a D720 - the armature went about a week later, replaced under warranty. Eventually the rear main bearing wore out and they had changed the design so B & D gave me a brand new drill for the price of the bearing - same thing eventually happened to that as well so I bored out the backplate and fitted a ballrace. I still have it thought the armature has gone...

I have a number of other drills, mostly not Black & Decker...

My Dad still has a Millers Falls drill from the early fifties, still works fine.
