Review on BLACK DECKER LDX120C Lithium Driver by Mark Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Every woman needs a drill like this

Every woman needs this BLACK+DECKER LDX120C 20V MAX lithium-ion drill. Both drivers and men will appreciate them. Compact, lightweight cordless drill that runs on a 20V battery, one of which is included in the charger. The batteries slide easily into the base of the drill and if you have other Black+Decker 20v tools the batteries are interchangeable making this drill even more attractive. This is a chuckless drill so you don't have to keep track of the small chuck. You will need drill bits as these aren't supplied, but a two-headed screwdriver (Philips and a slotted head) is supplied, and there's even storage on the drill itself. The drill has a locking button so it's safe to use around children and you can adjust the torque with the marked ring around the collar of the drill. I am an elderly woman and an avid handyman. I love cordless tools for home projects and repairs as well as lawn care. I don't have much strength in my shoulder, so I appreciate how easy this exercise is, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it has enough power for 90% of the tasks I will be using it for. Things like assembling furniture, renovating my house, hanging cabinets or pictures, mounting a TV on the wall, etc. The compact size is a plus when working in small spaces. This is not a tool for professionals who will use it. every day, all day. There are much more powerful cordless drills, but they are significantly more expensive. However, it is perfect for a homeowner and I am very happy with it. I used it today and it was very easy to carry the ladder as it's small and light and I love that I don't have to fiddle with extensions. This is also a great gift. I started giving graduation tool kits to young women and men because everyone needs tools! And such an inexpensive but highly functional drill is likely to become one of the most used tools in anyone's toolbox. I got it on Prime Day, but even the $44 list price is pretty reasonable since it includes the battery and charger. A NOTICE. It doesn't come with a case, but I've started using large plastic litter boxes to store tools without a case. https://www.amazon.com/Purina-Tidy-Cats-LightWeight-Strength/dp/B016OMEG84/ These containers have a carry handle, stack on top of each other and provide ample space for chargers, batteries, drills, etc.

Pros
  • Perfect for drilling holes in wood, metal, plastic and all screwing jobs
Cons
  • Easily torn
