BLACK+DECKER 20-Volt MAX Lithium Cordless Drill, BCD702C1

Was never even able to use this drill. This drill came with two batteries and BOTH of them wont charge straight out of the box. I get a fast, flashing red light on the charger when I try. Yes the batteries are secure on the charger, and I tried multiple outlets. I'm reluctant to buy another. battery when these ones are brand new and should work no problem. Also, forcing me to sign up for email promotions in order to post a product review is ridiculous and that alone is motivating me to shop for other brands in the future.

At 20V this tool is as powerful as some 24V brands without the bulkiness and heaviness. Long lasting battery and durably built. I bought this one for my 12 yr old grandson to learn on and he loves it. The one I have I've had for 4 yrs and its as strong as ever! It's just a well built and reliable tool.

This was the third drill I have bought! This time I bought the three year warranty! I didn't even make it 2 months and the same thing happened to this drill! The switch just quit working, The switch went out of the other two. I called Black and Decker they told me to take it to a repair shop! The switch was not available to replace from Black %26Decker

The Black and Decker 20V Max Lithium Cordless Drill is a handy drill. It charged in under 4 hours for a first time charge using a 20-volt lithium ion battery. Nominal voltage is 18. This drill has good balance and is not too heavy. It has an LED light to light up the work area, which is a nice feature. This Black and Decker drill has a convenient bit tip storage area just below the grip where the bit snaps securely on to the base. The grip is nice because it is not too large in diameter for smaller hands and the rubbery material seems very slip resistant. This drill has a keyless chuck and a variable speed trigger switch. The more you press the trigger, the higher the speed. The location of the forward/reverse control button is close to the handle and easy to reach while holding the handle without losing your grip. This forward/reverse control button also is a lock button when in the center position and locks the tool in the off position. Black and Decker offers a 30-day money back guarantee as well as a two year limited warranty on this drill. The only negative thing about this tool is the lack of a level bubble, I find that very helpful. Even so, this is a good solid drill.

I recently opted to try the Black and Decker 20v, cordless, drill/driver. I received this product free as part of the Walmart Sparkreviewer program. I asked my husband for some input for this review as he has more experience than I do with power tools. The drill comes packaged with a charging unit and an instruction manual and one dual headed drill bit that can be clipped to the drill for easy storage. The first thing that I noticed about the drill, besides the fact that it is sharp looking, was its weight. It is very light and easy to hold. We have a cordless drill at home, but it is bigger and heavier. As a woman I find the Black and Decker drill much easier to handle. The shaft of the handle is shorter than our other drill and it doesn't feel so top heavy. I had my husband hold it as well and it fit his hand nicely, as well. There are finger grips on the shaft that make hand placement comfortable. We were thinking that because of its small size that it would not be powerful, but we were pleasantly surprised. The thing that we liked the best was that the drill has a light on it that shines where you would be placing the drill bit. While there is a light on our current drill it doesn't come on until you start to drill but the Black and Decker light comes on when you push the trigger half way, so you can see where you are putting the drill bit. We both found this to be a great feature. The drill comes with a 20v lithium ion battery that is rechargeable. The battery was easy to remove from the drill and attach to the charging unit and there is a light on the charger that lets you know that it is charging. We charged the battery overnight before trying. Like most drills these days this unit has torque control, which allows for you to adjust the force of the dill. I found it easy to adjust the chuck (my husband's word) to insert and release a drill bit. This is something that I have had trouble with in the past and as a result and at the suggestion of my husband, I put on a glove during this process because it can hurt if you are not careful and also because if you've ever had to remove a screw that was incorrectly inserted (and I have, lol) they sure can get hot! Both my husband and I tested the drill using different sized screws by driving them into some left over 2x4's and 4x4's. We were both surprised by how powerful this drill was. We also tested the torque control and found that it worked as it should. If we were doing a home project together this would be the drill that I would go for and depending upon the project, we might even fight over it, lol. As for battery life, we tested the drill on and off for about ½ an hour and it was still going strong, however, we were only drilling in small to medium sized screws (nothing big), which might make a difference. The only downside is that this drill only comes with one battery, so it might be proactive to purchase a back-up battery. All and all I found this drill to work very well and would recommend it to others.

Drill Arrived after a unacceptable shipment from UPS where it sat on the side of the road for two days instead of driving down my driveway to my house. Arrived in good condition and packaged well. Upon unpacking the first thing I noticed is this drill is smaller in size than my Hyper Tough 18 volt drill. No complaints on Hyper Tough but smaller means lighter also. The battery is about half the size of the older 18 volt drill . The Black and Decker is much lighter and that is a BIG PLUS when working over head and holding the drill up. It uses a Lithium battery that is 20 volts. It has good power and seems to last longer than the other drill. It has the adjustable clutch with ten settings. The grip feels very comftorable and with its smaller size and being lighter and a longer, more powerful battery that charges up quickly. (First charge was about two hours) It is a very good choice. Also being a Black & Decker, parts should be readly available, like extra battery if needed. The charger is a small unit that slips on the battery and a wire goes to the part the plugs into the wall. It comes with a philips head bit that has a straight slot on the other end. Is neatly kept in a slot made to store it on the base of the drill. I like this drill and certinly would purchace one after getting the chance to try it out.

I had been wanting something like this for a while. I moved into a new house a year ago and there were and still are so many projects to do to make it feel like home. Installing blinds and curtains, replacing light fixtures, and assembling furniture. This drill has helped tremendously! Things go a lot faster with this and it comes is super handy. Even just switching out wall plates was made easier and faster. It obviously has a superior name attached to it with Black & Decker and it doesn't disappoint with quality. It's sturdy but still lightweight enough to carry around the house. It simple to use and the battery charges quickly. The battery also had a long life between charges. I think this is a must have around the house and was a great addition to our tool box. I would recommend this to others and it would make a great gift!

This Black + Decker 20 volt lithium ion cordless drill/driver is something everyone should have amongst their tools. It is well constructed, light weight, and has good power. The handle fits the hand very comfortably. It has many wonderful features: 11 position clutch, LED light, variable speed trigger switch, forward/reverse button, keyless chuck, torque adjust collar, bit tip storage compartment, and a battery release button. It comes with the 20 volt lithium ion battery and charger. The battery is easy to load and unload.It is easy to load and unload drill bits and screwdrivers. It easily reverses speed.

Black and Decker 20v lithium Drill/Driver is a great tool. Don't let It's smaller compact design fool You. There's plenty of power and torque to do big jobs around the House. Ive, owned Black and Decker Tools for nearly 35 yrs and The price is cheaper than most. But, the quality is as Good or better than the higher priced competitors! The lithium battery holds charge longer, is lighter, And The charger itself is not bulky. I put it in a small tool bag to keep up with it and other accessories, that I need to work with. (Walmart sells A package that includes the bag, and a selection of driver bits that Will serve most of Your needs) The color is bright orange and black, typical and easily Recognizable for Black and Decker Products, but this makes it easier for Me to keep up with. The keyless chuck holds well for awhile. But, like most Drills, high demands will cause it to loosen up on Your Bits and You will need to retighten. It comes with one dual bit, a Phillips and straight Screwdriver, so, You will need to purchase another package of bits, later. Overall, It's a nice, durable drill/driver that can handle being accidentally dropped from the ladder a few times.

I just got this and only used it once. so far so good. I would have put 5 stars but don't really know things like how long battery last because I just got it.
