Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are. With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

Black & Decker VPX1201 Li-Ion VPX 7-Volt Drill Driver Reviews
Although it clearly states in the section titled About The VPX 7 volt Drill/Driver that it has this feature, IT AINT SO. I must have a variable speed trigger in purchasing any drill.
BUT for the money it's an amazing machine. And it doesn't feel as cheap as the price might suggest. This drill is no Bosch or Hilti. The much more expensive products from Germany (Bosch) and Lichtenstein (Hilti) usually have rather large and heavy battery attachment that make working with them more tiring. The best part about it is the small battery pack. For around $45, there isn't a better drill anywhere.
I own an 18 volt DeWalt drill and lugging that monster around can get pretty old when you use it to drive a few screws then lug it back down 7 floors. I just got this little driver today. I used it to hang cabinets and towel bars in my bathroom, then assembled a file cabinet shortly after I got home. Being in building maintenance, I can't think of a better way to test it out. I bought it for doing much of the light duty things I do at work.
Very compact and powerful. It has a 2 speed gear box low & hi plus forward & reverse, but it would be nice if it was variable speed, still it's a very nice unit & I am quit pleased with it.
