I have owned this Black & Decker Firestorm HP188F2K 18v drill for a couple of years now and am very disappointed in it's reliability. 1st the chuck bearings have worn leaving plenty of play in the chuck, allowing lots of movement which causes the drill bit to wobble. Secondly the gears are slipping / stripping when in low speed and now finally the charger has given up.
This is now my third B&D cordless drill, they have all worn the chuck bearings out (Just not up to any masonry drilling) and I will not be buying one again.
I will now be replacing it with a Makita.
