## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's in the box?  Is a charger included?**
A: Includes:20V MAX Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver with Autosense Technology - BDCDE120C20V MAX Lithium-Ion Battery - LBXR2020V MAX Battery Charger - LCS1620Double Ended Bit

**Q: how much is the torque? thanks**
A: Torque is more than adequate for intended use. I've driven 3 inch concrete screws with mine and it does not complain.; for kicks I then tried further tightening these by hand with a very large screwdriver. I could move the screws a bit further in (just) which suggests to me a torque (at least in screwdriving mode) of way more than 122 in-lbs (perhaps this is in drilling mode only?) . 330 is more realistic. Also bear in mind that if the bit stops turning whilst driving a screw it's not because the torque limit has been reached; rather it's meant to do that. Release and press the trigger again and it will go further then stop. You can keep repeating.

**Q: I want to know the four patterns on the battery are what it means？**
A: Tells you how much charge is left.  1 dot =1/4, 2=1/2, 3=3/4, 4=full.

**Q: It has variable speed?**
A: Yes, using the trigger. If you haven't bought one of these yet, do it. This is light weight and has a lot of torque + battery lasts a long time. So far I think its the best thing B&D has ever built.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great drill for home use
*by G***Y on June 5, 2015*

I'm not a professional, I just need tools for working around the house, and I really like the idea of cordless products. I wanted to standardize on a battery type so I had just one charger and could interchange batteries between products. After a lot of research, I chose B&D because I've liked their products in the past, the reviews seemed good, the prices are fine, and I don't really need more than this level of product. I'm very happy with the result.I haven't had a problem with battery life so far, and across the multiple products I've purchased, I've gotten 3 batteries in total, so I've always got one available. I did purchase a quick charger, which IMO is an absolute MUST. The included charger is way too wimpy and shouldn't even be considered as a normal means of charge. The quick charger is very fast, and I never need to worry about being out of power when I need it, across all the products I have.This drill has the power I need and includes a lot of extra little features that often come only with more expensive products, such as the LED that lights the work area. It also comes with a screwdriver bit that attaches directly to a clip on the front of the drill, so I always have it when I need it. Nice touch. The weight is fine for my purposes and the batteries are easy to install and remove.Controls are straight forward and cover all the bases. I'm not sure yet about the Autosense technology. My projects have not yet needed the feature, but it looks interesting, at least. The keyless chuck is easy to use and I never have any trouble with slipping. The trigger is sensitive enough that I can control the speed quite well.The drill looks well built and solid. I'm not worried about useful life at all. There is nothing that looks or feels "cheap". It's just a good, solid product for the home handyman. My highest rating for this purpose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great power, balance
*by G***S on January 21, 2015*

Great power, balance, weight, and size. It is about half the size of my Porter-Cable 18V NiMh drill. It even came 3/4 charged and with some use has not budged. Love the power indicator and lighted speed indicator for screws or drilling. The light is on the base and works adequately but the Porter-Cable design is better (under the drill chuck and much brighter). I purchase this drill so I would not have to keep switching from bits for screws to drill bits when needing to make pilot holes. Even though I love my Porter-Cable, because of the size and weight convenience of this drill, it will be my number one drill now. Several years ago, I purchased a 12 volt Black and Decker drill that was quite disappointing. This one seems much better build quality. Time will tell. The Porter-Cable is about 3 years old and still works like new after many projects. Let's see if this new drill can do the same!Update: The power level hasn't budged in 3 months after using this drill several times on light projects (I still haven't charged it beyond the charge it came with.) I'm not loving the self-sensing technology. I like the clutching system of other drills better. Other than that, because it is so light and small, this is my "go to" drill and I love it!!!!Update: Well, after having this drill and using it quite a few times, the power level finally went down to one bar after removing several 3 inch screws and several projects since last posting. This drill amazes me! By far the best drill I have ever owned. I just wish it didn't have the "auto-sensing" feature, which really does not work on my drill. Love the light weight and the smooth action.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May be "Black & Decker" but this drill is Golden!!
*by E***. on September 18, 2014*

THIS DRILL IS SIMPLY AWESOME!!!! It is easy to use and hold. It has many great features!! The battery holds a charge VERY well and for quite a long time. I put together a burning barrel involving over a hundred screws and other fasteners that required a lot of torque to get them to fasten, and this drill handled the power needed so very well. The features are many and easy to understand and work with as you accomplish your many tasks. The indicator lights are very bright, but the work light could be a bit more focuses on each individual job. It does help you see your work area ok though.I looked everywhere for additional accessories and could not find many, so I made up my own drill box and accessories from the many choices you can get from Black & Decker and other tool manufacturers. That may be the only disappointment with this drill, but my total kit for it is pretty awesome now, if I may brag about it so!! It comes with a double ended Straight and Phillip's bit driver that sits on the foot of the drill and is really handy when needed. The batteries are reasonable in price, but you have to search for the best price. They are easy to change, but as I said before, you won't have to change them soon, as they hold a charge for a long time!! Too cool. It is forward and reversible with an easy to switch button near the trigger. The speeds are variable and driving power is excellent! You will NOT be disappointed with this drill and the other features I did not mention. GREATEST PORTABLE DRILL I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!
