Black & Decker offers a complete line of cordless drills from light duty to high performance. Cordless drills range from 6V to 24V and are available individually or bundled with other time saving accessories. The most popular black and decker products for cordless power drilling will offer multiple drilling speeds, such as 325 RPMs for screwdriving bits and 650 RPMs for heavier drilling requirements in addition to a keyless chuck.
For high torque in a 12-volt drill, the Black & Decker HPD12K-2 cordless drill/driver truly delivers. With a professional grade motor producing one hundred seventy five inch pounds of torque, this 3/8 inch model pours on the power when driving in large lag bolts used for building decks. The torque collar adjusts easily to one of thirty two positions, with higher settings for heavy-duty drilling and lower settings for smaller screws.
The Black and Decker HPD12K-2 also features a two-speed gearbox for high-torque driving (0 rpm to 380 rpm) and high-speed drilling (0 rpm to 1,200 rpm). In the high-speed setting, you can drive over four hundred two-inch screws into wood on a single charge. We like the HPD12K-2's well-balanced feel, and it is comfortable to hold. An especially impressive feature is the one-hand operation made possible by the single-sleeve keyless chuck with spindle lock. Just turn the sleeve counterclockwise to loosen the chuck, then insert the bit and tighten securely by turning the sleeve clockwise.
This cordless drill/driver comes with a kit box, two double-end bit tips, a pair of twelve volt spring-loaded batteries and a charger. On the downside, the case and its plastic locking clips are of lesser quality than those that come with similar models. Each battery pack takes three to six hours to fully charge.
For an affordable drill, the Black & Decker HPD12K-2 cordless drill/driver pours on the power and is worthy of your consideration.
