BLACK+DECKER 20V Max Drill & 68-Piece Tool Kit

Great starter kit for a person with no handy experience!

REVIEW DISCLOSURE:
In no way, shape, or form am I a handy man expert. I’m just your typical “keeping up with the maintenance” homeowner and only recently getting into DIY projects. I made my purchase in 2019 and I feel now i have had it long enough to review. Hope this helps!

DRILL/CHARGER/BATTERY:
All of these work great and perform the job as needed. I couldn’t tell you how long the battery last or how long it takes to charge. But I have yet to do something to where the battery dies on me. All are great for basic maintenance and beginners. Tip: i recommend the impact driver if you plan on doing a LOT of work or if you’re into woodworking. Makes life easier.

STORAGE BAG/TAPE MEASURE:
The storage bag is pretty cheaply made and tore around the top zipper linings fairly quickly. I still have the bag but, overall, its plain (no pockets or anything) and its weak. The tape measure, I think, is also cheaply made but I guess because of its size it feels somewhat sturdy. Its not a long tape and it’s not “TOO” flimsy but it also does the smaller jobs as needed.

PLIERS & ADJUSTABLE WRENCH:
I haven’t really used the adjustable wrench but I know its pretty tiny. Not sure how useful it would be or if it will break on you. The needle nose pliers work great and get the job done as needed. Recently, the slip joint pliers came apart on me but I was able to put it back together. Its pretty sturdy and was working fine for a long time but I would say its pretty cheap if you plan on using it alot or are a pro.

UTILITY KNIFE/HAMMER:
The hammer is strong, sturdy, and gets the job done as needed. I think its just a bit smaller than most other hammers sold individually but it’ll get basic jobs done. And it feels like it will last. The utility knife is pretty flimsy and the locking mechanism comes off fairly easily. I still have it. Hardly use it, but if you plan on using it a lot I recommend get a higher quality individual one elsewhere.

SCREWDRIVING BITS/DRILL BITS/NUTDRIVERS/MAGNETIC BIT HOLDER/SPADE BITS/HOLE SAWS:
The screwdriving bits work great. If your basic, or even a hobbyist, they will last. The general purpose drill bits work just fine too. I used about 3 different sizes and the smaller ones broke on me but I would say it was after a fair amount of time using them. Plus i extensively used them recently getting into woodworking as a hobby. I’ve yet to use spade bits or hole saws. They seem to be ok and pretty sturdy. I feel they will last but not sure how they will cut/drill. The nut drivers and magnetic bit holder work just fine and get basic jobs done.

SCREWDRIVERS:
I saved the worst for last. THESE THINGS SUCK. The rachet screwdriver broke on first use. I didn’t even drop it. I was simply applying “typical” pressure and some mechanism snapped. Idk if its repairable but it happened a long time ago. I remember being angry but luckily I had another one (different brand) that I had around the house. The flat head and Phillips are useless. They are strong and would last…..if they were usable. The thickness of the flat head seems ridiculous. And the Phillips head too. I don’t think I have found a screw head that would fit. I am about to donate them but, honestly, if they are all made that way…I don’t think even the basic of basic projects/jobs could get done.

OVERALL:
I am very happy with this purchase. Pretty sure if you take all the good tools and purchase them individually you would still be saving with this purchase. Great for first time homeowners or perhaps a kid getting his own apt/place for the first time on his own. I know that professionals would probably bash this product but, again, I am happy with my purchase which is why I gave it an overall 4, not 5, stars.

This is a great great buy. I thought the driller is not working, yet when I charged it’s now okay. i also found the video here in Amazon informative for self troubleshooting.

Perfect if you have nothing at hand to build or fix something. Incredible value for the price. Drill can easily screw and penetrate dry walls with the stock power. Battery life is good. Other products are also quite good. Torque screwdriver is perfect for Ikea assemblies.

El producto es muy bueno, tomando en cuenta que lo compré en oferta. Tiene muchísimas herramientas que son bastante útiles, y que te sacan de apuros a la hora de hacer trabajos con precisión y rapidez. el único punto en contra, es que no tiene tanta potencia para barrenar en pared, y tampoco demasiado torque para atornillar con fuerza, pero en general cumple con la funcionalidad de un equipo de gama media y que sería usado en tareas básicas en el hogar. En mi caso lo he estado utilizando para la fabricación de puertas de aluminio y ventajas de mi casa, y funciona perfectamente. Si lo recomiendo al 100

Works perfectly

I mainly bought this for the drill and drill bits because of how good the price was. The added accessories are ok but not the sturdiest of quality. The drill, however, is perfect. It’s powerful, not overly heavy and super easy to grip. The battery life is decent enough – I may buy another one just to ensure I always have one ready to go. Overall great product at an amazing price point
