Afternoon All

I would just like to share some photos of a Black & Decker drill and if anybody could give me any more information on it. As a guess I would say it is no earlier since the rating plate on it has 13mm written on it in brackets i.e. a metric unit.

I would say the power lead is not original as it is fairly long (about 5-6 metres) and I am sure I read somewhere this should not be done with power tools, so you can be within easy reach of the plug if necessary. (I would shorten it but it's not my drill to do so with).

The end bit with the chuck has been changed once but you can see the original one in the photos.

Regards
