12V, Extender Drill Kit With Quick Connect Bit Change System, 24 Position Clutch With Screw Icons, 3 Finger Trigger For Comfort & Control In All Positions, Includes Battery, Charger, 15 Accessories & Kit Box. Watch this product in action!
If your work requires you to drill or drive in a lot of tight or awkward places (under sinks, overhead, inside cabinets, between pipes, etc.), this Black & Decker five-position drill/driver may be the perfect tool for you. The drill features a compact design and swiveling head that rotates 90 degrees front and back of center, with 45-degree stops along the way. A straightaway, inline stop even provides added reach for tight spaces in which a standard power drill might not fit. Lightweight and nimble, this Black & Decker drill is extremely maneuverable, as well. A comfort-grip handle and three-finger trigger provide excellent control, while a 24-position clutch and variable speeds of 0 to 700 rpm allow the drill to power through wood, steel, or masonry without damaging bits or stripping screws along the way. --Carl Thress

Black & Decker XD1200K 12-Volt Ni-Cad 1/4-Inch Hex Cordless 5-Position Drill/Driver Kit Reviews
Overall, I am very pleased with this drill. I have a joint hypermobility problem and can't deal with heavy objects for any length of time. This drill is light enough that I can work with it for more than short periods. It has a decent amount of power for smaller jobs, but have come across jobs that it just can't handle. The angle adjustment is extremely useful although I wish it came with more bits.
Nice compact tool. Only flawBatteries might be scarce. Angle drill. Fits in some close quarters & makes a good Right.
As it is, I charge the battery by counting down the hours and relying on B&D's opinion of how long it should charge for as stated in the instructions (3-6 hours), and not by the red light on the charger because the light does not seem to go off ever; the purpose of the light on the charger seems to be only to indicate that it's plugged in - not that the battery is still charging. I don't need to buy any additional components for this tool for my uses. I used to avoid having to buy anything that required screws because I didn't want to deal with the strength required sometimes to drive the screws in as far as I want and calluses/blisters that would sometimes form on my palm from putting too much pressure manually. It comes with a few starter bits, and they couldn't be easier to change out. Now I can't wait for reasons to need to use it. The only other thing I could wish for is a better way to monitor battery charge.
Perhaps I'm missing something there. I'm a novice when it comes to electric/power tools and this was easy enough for me to figure out how to work with minimal perusal over the brief instructions included. All my old manual screwdrivers were dull and ineffective so it was finally time to invest in new tools. It was long overdue to get a power screwdriver, and I'm extremely pleased. Good value overall. The light doesn't go off when the battery is fully charged like so many other products' chargers do.
It's powerful enough to deal with everyday jobs around the home, yet lightweight and easy to handle, which is all I need.
It appears ideal for simple home operations and is a great addition to my toolbox. I also made steady use of it for the putting up of window treatments. It drilled holes perfectly for cabinet handles and cabinet knobs. I bought mine strictly for home use. Therefore, the other reviewers are far better qualified than I in regards to judging whether this drill is effective in diverse settings. First of all let me say that I don't know anything about heavy industrial uses for a drill so I am not qualified to speak of such issues as I have never been a tradesman.
Further, I have never been asked to take part in any projects in which I had anything to do aside from digging or simple grunt work. Also, considering that I got mine for 37 bucksit's financially a good deal. The model was reliable and I have no complaints. I just got a new condo and the 12V comes in handy for everything I need to do.
I use the other drill for drilling and this one for driving. This one is the most dynamic of them, because it is flexible. If your not building the Trump Tower, these 12 volt drill/drivers are GREAT. I have several Black and Decker 12 volt cordless power tools. It has the same level of power as my standard 12 volt system, yet can get into places the CDC1200K cannot. If you purchase the multi-voltage quick charger ( at amazon or many other places ) you can have a conditioned, charged battery that is ready at a moments notice. The "QuickConnect" feature is GREAT if you have the bits to support the 1/4" chuck.
