Black+Decker 20V MAX POWERCONNECT Cordless 3/8 Inch Drill Driver Kit (BDCDD120C) review

The Black+Decker BDCDD120C is the lowest-cost kit we compared and is built for household jobs rather than construction. Black+Decker's US store lists it at $69.99 with free shipping and free returns, and the kit includes the drill, a 20V MAX 1.5 Ah battery, a charger and a double-ended bit. Black+Decker says the drill is 35% smaller than its GC1801, which helps behind appliances and inside cabinets and closets, and the 11 position clutch helps prevent stripped screws. The chuck is a 3/8 in keyless type and an LED lights the work surface. Black+Decker covers the tool and battery with a 2 year limited warranty. The specs show the limits: it is the only brushed motor here, its 650 RPM maximum is about a third of the 1,700 to 2,150 RPM of the other drills, and the 3/8 in chuck rules out larger bits. Black+Decker lists the tool at 2.5 lbs in its description and 3.2 lb in the spec table, which likely includes the battery.
