Overview
Not a cordless drill, this BLACK+DECKER runs from a wall outlet and has a metal and plastic body. The drill type is listed as basic, with a small chuck for light holes.
Corded power gives steady output with no battery to charge, and variable speed lets a hole start gently. The limitation is the data: the included components field lists unrelated product types, and the maximum power figure does not fit the amp rating.
Who it's for
Shelves, curtain rails and furniture assembly within reach of an outlet fit a mains powered tool like this. Users who work away from power, or drill larger holes, need a different tool.
Pros and cons
- Variable speed control
- Wood and metal capacity listed
- Metal and plastic build
- Two year limited warranty
- Included components field is unusable
- Power figure looks inconsistent
- Cord limits where it can be used
Performance notes
Variable speed lets the operator start slowly to seat a bit, then speed up. Torque sets how large a screw or bit it can drive before stalling, and chuck size limits shank diameter. The listed capacity applies to both wood and metal.
