BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver Variable Speed (BDCDD220C) with BLACK+DECKER BDA91109 Combination Accessory Set, 109-Piece

I usually wait a couple of months before I review. And before I purchase anything, I read over as many reviews as possible, especially the 1-star, 2-star and 3-star reviews, provided they are thoughtful reviews (one can always get a lemon from any manufacturer). However, since I’ve used this drill/driver constantly for the past four weeks, I feel I can give a decent opinion after such steady use. Just note that I’m not an expert when it comes to power tools. Anyway, in that four-week time frame, I’ve beefed up my front door, outside side garage door, garage door leading into the house and my bedroom door. That means I drove #10 x 3” long screws to reinforce the hinges and strike plates. On each of my four doors I also added quick-flip door locks, each with those same #10 x 3” long screws (three for each lock). BTW, those locks are great, but their screws weren’t long enough or of high quality. Obviously, one won’t know how solid this drill/driver is this early on. Nor will one know how long this drill/driver will last, especially a weekend warrior, but I’ve had good luck with a light-duty drill/driver from the same company, and have used that $30 drill/driver for almost a decade.There are several things I like about this drill/driver. It’s surprisingly light and feels nicely balanced in the hand. Once I charged the lithium battery, it lasted throughout those four weeks of fairly heavy use and still has a charge. And driving 3” long x #10 screws through the frame, the studs and the wood doors isn’t exactly an easy task, even when one drills a pilot hole (my 1/8” drill bit is only 1-1/2” long). I sure couldn’t do it with my light-duty drill/driver without a lot of difficulty. Of course, getting the right type of screws (I prefer torx-head) and scraping them over a slightly damp bar of soap sure helped. I was really surprised how easily, smoothly and quickly these screws went in, and without any sort of strain or kickback. Having a two-speed drill/driver is pretty standard, but very useful. The 11-position clutch is good, but of course it will take a bit of time to know what setting is best for each task. I also found the LED light very handy, and it lights up the area where it is actually needed.No, this drill/driver does not come in a carrying case. No, you don’t get a set of drive bits or drill bits (I received both with my old drill/driver, including a carrying case), but it does come with one double-ended drive bit (phillips/slot-head). Yes, you get a lithium battery and charger. My older light-duty drill/driver uses a quick-insertion, quick-release hex chuck, which I really liked. I could quickly pop in a bit and quickly release it, saving time. With this new drill/driver, one must tighten the chuck by hand. But that’s no big deal, since I bought a drive bit package (mainly for the torx-head bits), and it came with a quick-release adapter hex bit.All-in-all, I think this drill/driver is an excellent value (it’s a steal at the price it is going for at the time of this review — 59 bucks). And if you’re like me — a weekend warrior who does odd jobs around the house when in the mood — I would highly recommend this model. If you’re a professional or are consistently doing major work, then you should probably use professional equipment. As far as my rating goes, I give this drill/driver 9 out of 10, or a 5-star rating. And at this price, how can you go wrong (provided it lasts a reasonable amount of time)?

Love this; bought a second for my son. The power is amazing. I used all of my strength to screw a difficult screw into a piece of hardwood and the drill kept up with solid power. I really like the fact that it has a dial that can be adjusted to control the torque (allows you to control the amount of drill power). In addition, the drill has variable speed control. A light trigger pull and the drill goes slowly, a heavier pull on the trigger and the drill speeds up.For the price and the features, you can't do much better.

I usually count on black and decker for a solid product. This drill had a plastic burning smell to it the first time I used it, but it still worked. The smell got worse and finally the motor gave up the ghost it just over three months of use. Not heavy duty work, Only being used to sink decking screws in fence boards. I will not be replacing it with another Black & Decker.

I was so disappointed the 2-speed selector of my first drill failed because this drill is:- Small enough to fit between the studs of unfinished walls - I wish Craftsman would make a drill of this size and price-point (or, at least, close)- Powerful enough for DIY carpenter/ repair projects- an Excellent fit and weight for my hands (yup Right and Left)- Delicate enough with settings of the chuck clutch to protect the light-duty materials of pre-fab, unassembled selves, consoles, and tables when fastening the pieces together.- and the LED light shines upward from the battery housing giving a preferred angle of illumination to the drill/ driver workOne does not need to pay 200+ dollars for a capable compact drillIs Stanely listening?

I have an 18 volt Hitachi drill and this B&D was obtained to become a "backup" But I will observe that the B&D chuck is smaller and the power is just not there compared to the Hitachi. I now use the Hitachi for drilling big holes or putting in long constructions screws and the B&D for smaller work. That seems to work out well. Just having two drills saves a lot of time switching bits. So, if you need real power keep looking, if you need a light weight small drill this is a pretty good one with good battery life. I used it all day with one battery change and the Li-ion battery charges fast.

Too old and muscle-less to drive in a screw manually or drill a hole to start one. I have used my B&D cordless drill for over 10 years. The reason I have replaced it is because the battery has stopped holding a charge and I can't find another to replace it. So, I got this one and do expect 10 yrs of use from it. If I do find a replacement battery for my other one then I will have a back up. The thing I like is that this one is a little lighter weight and easier to handle. Not much lighter but every oz less is a plus to a "senior citizen".

So I have an almost 20 year old 14.4 volt B&D screw driver which I still love and still works outstanding... But after using a buddies new 20 volt B&D screw driver I couldn't believe how light it was and how much faster it was!! I had gotten a 20 volt B&D Weed Eater 2 years ago which I also love, so I bought this new screw driver and also bought 2 after market batteries. Then I got a 20 volt B&D Blower which is great for blowing dry leafs or grass off the sidewalk.So as a Landscaper / Handyman / DIY'er I absolutely love the Black and Decker 20 volt family of tools and would recommend this screw driver To anyone!! My next purchase will be the 20 volt B&D 22 inch Hedge Trimmer. I also have bought 2 extra after market 20 V batteries so now 3 chargers and 5 batteries that all work excellent. Never thought going green would be so easy and work so good!!

I charged the battery that comes with the drill per instructions and it charged quickly. I used the drill to attach 34 reflectors, using 2 screws each, to wooden fence posts for markers for nighttime driving. There was still plenty of charge left when I finished. Then I used it to attach plastic sheeting to a deck to keep out rain and snow. There was still charge left when I finished that, too.

J'utilise cette perceuse depuis environ un an, mais depuis un certain temps, elle fait un bruit strident et anormal lorqu'elle force un peu. Celà se produit en vitesse 2 à tous les ajustements de puissance (torque) mais aussi en vitesse 1 à la puissance 10 et mode drill.Dû à ceci, je ne peux plus vraiment l'utiliser pour percer avec de mèches de plus de ¼po, et ce même dans l'aluminium ou le bois. Elle manque carrément de force lorsque le bruit se fait entendre.Je dois tout de même dire, que malgré cette défectuosité, cette perceuse est vraiment passe-partout de par son petit format et très légère.Je vais tenter de communiquer avec la compagnie, en attendant j'ai ressorti ma vieille Porter Cable de 11ans 18v., qui malgré l'âge des batteries est beaucoup plus puissante.

When I got mine, for some reason there was no battery or charger in the box. Looks like it may have been a return that got sent out again. Went to Home Depot and got the same drill and it works perfectly! Would definitely buy again. Had a B&D 18v for years and it finally died. This is definitely an upgrade. So much lighter and the form factor is perfect for getting into smaller spaces. If you are doing a couple projects are home, this is a perfect drill. Wouldn't recommend it if you are using it a daily driver. Spend the extra $ and get a brushless.

Nice compact and lightweight but does the job.

I've been meaning to get myself a cordless drill for a while, so when I saw this one and it was marked down something like $20 and I had an Amazon gift card to use so it made for a good price. However, the pictures they show make it look bigger than what it actually is. It's got pretty good torque for it's size but because of the size of the battery, if you plan on doing any longer term work with it definitely get yourself a second battery for it. For the actual price for it, for what I just needed and paid, it does me fine but personally if I had to spend the money, I would definitely spend the extra and get a bigger/higher-end make and it would be more of a household investment. Overall, it's ok. Al.

My husband used this product and ithink he like it and i thinks its very comfortable to use it.
