With BLACK+DECKER’s 20V MAX* 3/8 in. cordless drill/driver and impact driver combo kit, you’ll be able to take on around-the-house projects with confidence. The lightweight, compact drill is sure to be the tool you reach for again and again, thanks to features like an 11-position clutch that helps prevent stripping or overdriving screws. A variable-speed trigger lets you progress at a comfortable pace for enhanced control. It’s ideal for screwdriving tasks and for drilling into wood, metal, and plastic—even in tight spaces. And when the job calls for a cordless impact driver, this one won’t let you down. The quick-release 1/4 in. hex chuck lets you change bits quickly, so you can get back to work. Both the portable drill and the impact driver are even equipped with a built-in LED work light, and both use the powerful 20V MAX* POWERCONNECT lithium ion battery that’s compatible with the whole suite of POWERCONNECT tools. *Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18 volts.

Impact Screw Driver almost lasted 5 years….
Great combo… use it often and neither the drill or impact screw driver are babied. They get rough use. The Drill is still going like new. compact and powerful. The Impact screw driver worked great until I REALLY abused it by using it to drive 6″ long lag bolts into concrete… a lot of them! It really isn’t designed for this type of heavy work. It did drive them all, but a couple of months later it decided not to work. Probably a minor fix but I will buy another one, fix this one and then use both.;

I’m quite tickled with this impact driver…
I’ll admit something. Despite being a fairly “handy” guy who back in the early 70’s worked in home construction, I had never really tumbled to just how wonderful “impact drivers” are for driving large screws into and out of things easily. I’d been doing it with my regular old hand drills, and it worked, and I figured that was that.It was only relatively recently, courtesy of two back-to-back hurricanes lining up on Oahu, that I noticed just how much easier it was to board up the windows (and there are a LOT of windows on our house) with 2×4’s and plywood with an impact driver, which is something all the “helpers” I hired brought with them. It became clear that to a large degree drills are for drilling and impact drivers are for driving and removing screws. This was a bit of an epiphany to me, since I thought I had all the tools I needed. Apparently not.The amazing thing thing about using an impact driver is that it’s so merciful to your wrist; it doesn’t torque it around like using a drill does, since the staccato hammer blows are so fast. This also means you don’t need to bear down with pressure to keep from stripping the screw. But I’ve also gone to torx-head screws and am backing away from philips-heads, because those enhance the effect; with large torx-head screws and an impact driver, one acquires a new super power.So I wanted to get one, but didn’t want to drop a ton of money because I’ll only use it sporadically. Actually Amazon had some no-name impact driver WITH batter and charger for under $40 when I initially looked, and that was probably a great deal… doesn’t seem to be offered now though. After looking around, I decided that the specs of this impact driver would do the job, and the spare batteries are readily available from 3rd parties. Why get the combo? Because the combo only costs $10 more than the impact driver alone. (The drill that comes in this combo is pretty basic; fewer clutch settings, lighter in build, only one speed (but variable with the trigger)… nothing special and not as good as my existing B&D 18v NiCad tools. (I’ll note that one can go on ebay and buy an adapter plate to run those 18v tools off these lithium batteries, though really I don’t see a huge need. The difference between 18 and 20v is not only minimal numerically, but the 20v lithium batteries actually run at around 18v under load. (Lithium is slightly lighter and slighly more likely to catch fire, so that’s a wash to me.)Anyhow, the most recent storm just passed, and I went out to pull down some boards over access doors… and man! the impact driver was sweet. Great big screws just came backing out of deep wood with nearly no effort. Where has this thing been all my life?I’ll note that the “charger” that comes with the combo is pretty anemic, I think about a fifth of an amp, so it’ll take a lot of hours to recharge a depleted battery. I’ve ordered a fast charger along with a couple of third-party 4ah spare batteries. Of course, one doesn’t HAVE to do that… the slow charger works fine if you don’t mind “slow”, and is probably actually better for your battery. Just a “guy thing” maybe… I don’t want it to take an entire day to recharge each of the larger batteries.I’m giving this 4 stars to start out and will update it as I use it more. But my initial review is “cool”, it seems to work like the more expensive ones do. It misses the last star because it feels a bit less ergonomic in my hand than the $200 ones I’ve tried.do YOU have an impact driver?

Best cordless drill/driver combo for the price
First let’s look at the impact driver. It works great! I had some deck screws that were drilled in by a corded drill and some were pretty stripped out. I was worried that this wouldn’t be able to take the screws out. I was wrong. All 48 screws came out. And I reused all of them with success. I put the screws into something else and the impact driver did its job well.The drill is very petite. Almost embarrassing to use in public because it’s so tiny and looks like a toy. But it works! I used a half inch drill bit to drill through some 1/8″ aluminum and it worked well. The small drill actually worked to my benefit because I couldn’t fit my craftsman drill in the spot. I haven’t used the drill much. I just bought a matrix drill too and I mainly use that.For the price this is an awesome combo set. I got this for under 70 from amazon with some coupon code they gave me at checkout. This only comes with one battery and I wanted extra. I went to eBay and bought some knockoff brand batteries that actually are rated to last longer than the factory battery and they work great and was under $40 for two batteries. Battieries are hardly ever that cheap. I don’t really have any complaints other than the size of the drill. I also have the matrix which works good also. You can buy an impact attatchment for that so think of that option too.

Works Great
I have used the BD tools for years and had a bunch of NiCad 18v batteries. Over the years the batteries got tired so it is now time to move on to Lithium batteries. My latest project was replacing the cover on my patio and replacing the siding on my greenhouse. The tools have it easy. About half the weight of my old tools and the batteries last twice as long. Can’t beat it for the price.

Work Horse
I’m amazed by this tool. I bought one years ago, and I have beaten the crap out of it more times than I can count. And it just keeps on working. It’s not a very expensive tool. There are many more expensive ones on the market. But this one really does the job. I’ve rarely run it out of juice in a day, and I’ve used it to hang drywall for entire days. Couple of weeks ago, I was using it to fix some deck boards and it quit. Dead. Never gave it a second thought. Got online, (they still make the same one), ordered a replacement. This set looked like a good deal. Came with the drill, an impact drill, (good for tapcons) and a battery. My battery from the old drill still works and is the same, so now I got two tools and two batteries! If this one lasts half as long as my original it will be worth it.

Warranty replacement
The impact began to fail after a few hours of use. It died after a couple of months. Black and Decker allowed me to file a claim online, then quickly sent me a prepaid label for the bare tool. Less than a week later, they sent me a brand new impact with another battery and charger.The impact has nice ergonomics for extended use. It won’t bust your tire lug nuts, but it will cleanly drive construction screws and small lags.Battery life is garbage like all lithium tool batteries.The drill stands out with any I have ever owned. I have had one for several years of abuse, and it still reliably drills and drives. The chuck is a little sloppy, like all of them. It spins a little out of balance, like all of them.The trickle charger takes forever, but more fully charges the battery than the quick chargers, which I can’t reccommend at all.

Porqué la califico como casera, porque no puedes estar laborando en una empresa como contratista, disponerte a hacer un trabajo donde se necesita potencia de la herramienta, una batería que te dure al menos una hora de trabajo continuo y además una herramienta que no se caliente demasiado con el uso que le vas a dar. Hay herramientas para uso industrial, profesional, casero y hasta ocasional. Este paquete es bueno porque puedes (con una batería extra), taladrar barrenos para hacer un mueble, repisa, clóset o cualquier trabajo dentro del hogar, donde el uso es un fin de semana o una semana de vacaciones dedicada a mejoras del hogar. La batería tiene excelente duración, te aguanta para construir un clóset, una mesita y hacer una buena cantidad de barrenos en acero, sin embargo recomiendo adquirir una extra. La llave de impacto no tiene control de velocidad o parece no tenerlo, porque puede llegar a apretar un tornillo de más. El torque es bueno, similar al que se daría con una llave de estrías aplicando fuerza con el brazo. Yo conseguí en ebay un par de baterías extras con un cargador a buen precio, para que cada herramienta tenga su batería y no estar intercambiando una única batería. El paquete es una caja con las dos herramientas, una batería y un cargador. Recomiendo adquirir baterías extra, un maletín y unos dado de impacto largos, en medidas estándar y milimétricos, en particular los dados Tekton, modelos 4845 y 4850.

Es un producto muy útil de buena calidad en un buen precio por el kit y que si se cuida, se usa correctamente y se le da su mantenimiento es muy aguantador. Yo lo uso 5 días durante unas 8 o 9 horas y el primer kit que compre me duró año y medio.

Really like this brand and have found them to be reliable and reasonably powered. The 20v battery has impressive charge and is good to go in a hour on the charger.I have admittedly abused my previous B and D Drill for three years with almost daily use. Only recently did it required replacement.

Pour ce combo là visseuse est très bien alors que la perceuse est très moyenne.

As with a number of reviewers, purchasing new was more cost-efficient (during a promotion) than replacing the old battery. Unfortunately, these have way less torque than the previous model.Regardless, they still function, and I can fit both inside the case of the old one, and there was no need to worry about bits because I have 3 sets already. For small home projects, I’d recommend them.
