Overview
A hammering action added to a spinning drill gives this BLACK+DECKER corded tool extra bite on hard material. The motor draws from a wall outlet, and a side handle gives a second hand hold for control.
The reason to buy is steady corded power and a side handle in a drill that adds hammering for harder material. The limitation is one speed and no stated torque or weight, so delicate work needs trigger care.
Who it's for
Home owners and renovators who drill into wood and metal now and then will find it a reasonable single tool. Anyone driving screws all day, or needing two speeds, should buy a drill driver.
Pros and cons
- Side handle included
- Corded steady power
- Large chuck size
- Single speed only
- No torque figure listed
- Cord limits reach
Performance notes
The hammer action pulses the bit forward as it spins, which helps on hard material. Motor current and a single high speed suit drilling rather than driving screws. The side handle resists the twist if the bit binds.
