At work we have a B&D 12v cordless and a DeWalt 12v cordless. The DeWalt cordless does a better job at coring cable (.750 Coax) on a dead battery than the B&D ever did on a fresh one. DeWalt has so much more torque it isn't even funny...not to mention I can't count the times that drill has been dropped. (The farthest I think has been 30' off a bucket truck)

As for myself, I picked up a Cummins Industrial 18v cordless hammer drill w/ 2 batteries for $45. That drill is probably the only cheap one I have seen stay up with Similar DeWalt and Milwaukee drills. ( I'm going to have to wait few years and see how it stands the test)

As for circular saw, B&D used to be the best. Now before anyone throws a bullshit flag, my old man's B&D finally died...after 30 some odd years of service. Somehow I don't think B&D beats out Milwaukee or Makita anymore, but it's still a cheaper alternative.
