Black and Decker Cordless Drill

Written By: Joe

A Black and Decker cordless drill may look to you like a stand alone tool, but it isn’t. It is a tool that is backed by the power and precision of the Black and Decker company which is a world leader in the home power tool industry. The company is a household name all across the world as they manufacture their tools in 11 countries and market them in more than 100. The Black and Decker name means precision, power, and performance and that is exactly what you will get when you purchase a Black and Decker cordless drill.

In my house I currently have two cordless drills, a Craftsman 18v drill and an Black and Deck cordless drill that pushes out 12 volts. Each drill serves its purpose equally well and I love them both. But what I like about the Black and Decker is its size, the carrying case that it came with, and it’s ability to perform tasks above and beyond what I had expected it to do.

The drill is small in stature, but not in power. The 12 Volt battery and bits that I have equipped it with have so far been able to take on any challenge that I have been able to throw at it. Even drilling into my plaster walls using a masonry bit to hang pictures in my living room.

The Black and Deck Cordless drill that I have is only 1 of many in there line up. They offer a wide variety of drills that will perform an even wider variety of tasks. If you visit their website you will find that Black and Decker offers more than 10 different drills ranging in power from 7 to 18 volts. Each drill is made to perform a different set of tasks. Some are heavier and more powerful for use on large projects and in a professional setting, others would be better suited for placement in your laundry room where they could be grabbed quickly to fix a loose screw or hang a picture somewhere inside the house. In either case Black and Decker has the perfect drill for the job.

The down side to my Black and Decker cordless drill is that although it is very useful I have had some trouble with battery life. I don’t know if this is a problem that many owners have with their drills, but it is something that I have come across. Although having to recharge you battery frequently may be a bit of an inconvenience I would definitely not let it deter you from purchasing one of these drills. Cordless drill batteries have become so inexpensive over the last 5 years that it is very easy and affordable to keep yourself stocked with multiple batteries which would basically keep you up and running all of the time.

But don’t just take my word for it, I would suggest that you run to your local store and find out what Black and Decker cordless drills are available in your are and how they compare to other brands and models. An informed shopper is always the best shopper.
