BLACK+DECKER LDX120PK 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Drill and Project Kit Reviews

Update 12/2015
My dad and I used this drill set to build a whole greenhouse with wood and polycarbonate from the ground up and install the shelves. The battery lasts for a long time and we only have to charge once a day after a whole day of use. It’s a bit banged up from all the use and abuse, but it’s still going strong and has become my dad’s favorite drill. He barely uses his corded drill anymore. I think he’s claimed it as his own now …

The spade bits were used to drill into 4″x4″ wood for the greenhouse frame to make holes for 1/2″ hex bolts. The different sized drill bits proved to be useful for the different sized screws we used for the greenhouse. Since they aren’t as sharp as the more expensive brands, they do take a tiny bit longer to drill through certain things, but for those with less experience, the slower equipment allows more time for precision. My dad has limited vision so the drill and drill bits give him time to steady his hands and also allow him time to see where the drill is going while he’s on.

Instead of asking for jewelry, I asked for this drill kit as a Valentine’s Day present. It’s hands down the best drill I’ve used. It’s small yet powerful. I have tiny hands and I can hold the drill comfortably in my hand without getting tired.

The drill bits are easy to switch out and tightening it doesn’t require a lot of strength. I use this drill on almost all my DIY projects around the house, like fixing my Roomba, installing ceiling fans and installing curtain rods.

The only thing I don’t like about this kit is it doesn’t have a box to hold all the drill bits. The bag has no compartments to keep the drill bits separate. I keep the sharp kits in a smaller bag and throw that in with the rest of the tools. But the con isn’t enough to decrease the rating.

Included are:
Cordless drill
1 battery & charger
5 spade bits (1/4, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 1)
10 metal drill bits (1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, 11/64, 3/16 and 1/4)
4 hole saw drill bit (1-1/4, 1-1/2, 1-3/4 and 2-1/8) & arbor
32 screwdriver bits (flat head, Phillips, square, nut, slotted, Torx)
1 high torque screwdriver
4 nut driver bits (3/16, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2)
1 knife
1 hammer
1 flat head screwdriver
1 Phillips screwdriver
1 needle nose plier
1 slip joint plier
1 adjustable wrench
1 tape measure

Everything in this picture is included in the box! The drill is a compact drill that even has an LED light to see where you’re drilling if working in low light. It comes with a wide array of tools to help any DIY person like myself. Black and Decker has always been at the top of my list for tools and accessories and it continues to be after this purchase! I never had a complete tool set and was in dire need of one because of random projects, and now with this I can do everything I need too!

My only complain is the bag, its small and there are no sections or pockets to separate anything so it would be jumbled together. I decided to use an old tool box I had in the basement.

All in all a 5 out of 5 for this tool set! I big recommend to anyone who needs a tool set and doesn’t want to break the bank!

Got tired of my husband’s tools never being available, so bought this one just for me! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.

Just the right amount of tools. I’ve already used it in the house, the barn and when working on a shed. Plenty of power for the projects I’ve had. Can’t say enough good things about this set.
