BLACK+DECKER 20V Max Matrix Cordless Drill Combo (BDCDMT120IA)

I used it once and now the bad battery light is flashing! This item is better to be bought in a store!

It’s ok for DIY used bat the charger is 110v for may experience very nice use all purpose i can use .the drill

The matrix system is great for people without space for a full workshop with tools. This combo driver/drill unit is the basis for a more complete set and the price for the combo is excellent. The 20-Volt battery pack gives it plenty of punch for a cordless device. The attachments snap on in a solid satisfying way

The default charging unit provided, as noted by other reviews, is slow to charge the unit, but that is how it is for all budget cordless tools! If you want a fast charger it will cost you a lot more (~$50). Personally, I’d rather have cheaper tools and the option to purchase another battery or a fast charger, than a really expensive tool package.

As it happens I bought the corded driver as well (Black & Decker BDEDMT Matrix AC Drill/Driver). For tasks where I don’t need to roam around I use the corded unit; this lets me save battery power for when I really need it. If the battery does happen to run out at an inconvenient moment I can usually dig out an extension cable carry on with the corded unit too …

This is not a “professional” tool — it will handle all your home and hobby needs, but it isn’t going to survive on a job site for very long. You will also have to get used to switching attachments while working; if you have some task that needs you to alternate between drill and driver then it is going to be pretty tedious compared to just having a dedicated drill and driver — if possible plan out your work to minimize this kind of switching.

It is really important to note the niche that this kit fulfills. Dedicated tools, even cheap ones, will probably beat the Matrix in terms functionality, but a full kit of power tools takes up a lot of space! I can get my matrix and all the attachments into a single toolbox which is for me super important. I have used my matrix for a bunch of home projects including building a gate out of hardwood, and I love it …

(Maybe one day I will have the space for a full workshop, but that day isn’t here yet)

Solo para trabajos ligeros,no tiene mucha potencia.

This tool is hands down the most versatile and useful tool I or anyone else with ever own and use. There is an attachment for every type of job a person could need this for with plenty of battery power and life. First the build quality is amazing and is able to fully shake the misconceived notion that Black and Decker is a cheap throw-away brand tool. The entire black parts of the body are a matte rubber and give you grip at any angle you hold it at. The ergonomics work with all the attatchments even though you might think they won’t, but they do. Such as the jigsaw and every other attachmen; it is able to give you more control and with the variable speed trigger the precision that is called for on more delicate work. The battery lasts for about 180 or so 1″ screws driven into untreated 2×4 or cutting 4 5’x5′ pieces of plywood every which way imaginable, which isn’t bad by a long shot. During all this the drill becomes slightly warm, but never burning up. The battery charging would be the only negative with it taking around 3 hours to fully charge, but that is not a deal-breaker with all these positives. It has lasted me through a whole year of mederate use from porches, to ramps, to cars, and many other around the house jobs. Overall this is the opportunity of a lifetime to have every tool you could need in one compact package at anytime the occasion calls.
