Additional Black & Decker CDC180AK 18-Volt Cordless Drill Kit, Charger & Battery, Includes 30 Accessories Information

The variable speed is a great feature, and you'll find you're making good use of it every time you use this drill, for slow, controlled starts as well as the speed you need for drilling, with a range of 0 to 650 rpm. The clutch has six settings, so you always get the torque you need for the job, up to 127 inch-pounds.

One of the things we liked most about this drill is the fact that it's smaller and lighter than previous models, and so better suited for smaller hands, especially women's. But one thing we've found on some female-friendly drills is that sometimes, the battery puts up too good a fight if you can't grip all the way around it. No worries here: The 18-volt battery is spring-loaded for easy ins and outs. B&D gets a big woohoo from us for that.

The chuck is keyless, and that means fast and easy bit changes – something you'll do a a lot of, because this drill comes packaged with 30 accessories, so you can tackle just about any task right out of the box. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

What Customers Say About Black & Decker CDC180AK 18-Volt Cordless Drill Kit, Charger & Battery, Includes 30 Accessories:

Sturdy, drill with lots of torque. I would definitely recommend it. Fast delivery. The battery lasts ridiculously long compared to cordless drills I've owned in the past.

It's an in-between speed. Not fast enough to drill well in wood, and not slow enough that you can purely rely on the clutch when driving screws in wood.The removable keyless chuck on the B&D Firestorm drill I recommend has a quick release 1/4" hex shaft which allows you to put a drill bit in the chuck and keep a driver in the quick release - super fast change - really nice when you have to predrill screw holes in a deck or other project. The Jacobs chucks that are standard in Dewalt and other brands are bulletproof for this. One problem this particular drill has is that the keyless chuck tends to loosen by itself. - I have this drill but would instead recommend the B&D "Firestorm" drill with a "Quick release" keyless chuck. Not a bad drill, but I wouldn't pay more than thirty for it. Much better, with two speed and torque adjustments and, amazingly a lower price. I'd say you get what you pay for, but for this quality and features I'd go with a no-brand from many other places for less than half the price OR shop around to find a better one with more features for about the same dough.Also, this thing has a single speed only.

Some things that aren't in the description:-The charger that it comes with is a cord plugs into the back of the handle, and it charges the battery while it's attached to the drill. It uses the standard B&D removable 18V battery which can be charged in a seperate charger (that isn't included of course).-The 30 piece accessories set is a set of 10 drill bits sizes 1/16 to 1/4, 10 2-sided screwdriver bits, and 10 socket bits sizes 5/32 to 1/2.It's a good small cordless drill, especially for the price.
