Black & Decker LDX120C 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill/Driver
CUSTOMER REVIEW
I purchased this drill from Lowes one day because I had an older Craftsman with two dead batteries and decided to purchase this instead of new batteries. I made the right decision. Compared to most drills that I have used in the past, it is quite small, but it is a 20v drill and you cannot beat it. It is able to get into smaller spaces than my other drills and has plenty of power to spare. One feature that it has is a LED light that shines on the location where you are using it. Totally unnecessary for most things, but a nice addition when you do end up in that one dark spot.
The best part of this drill is the battery. It is a Li Ion battery. This is a way better battery technology than the older drills use. These batteries will not keep a memory. My biggest problem was that I would keep my batteries on the charger when not in use and this will damage the older batteries. That is not the case here. This battery pack is designed to stay on the charger, but will also keep a charge for a year if taken off it. It is also a much smaller battery pack than most other drills I have used. This is really convenient. This battery will also outlast any of the other batteries I have used.
I have not used this anywhere near what someone like a contractor would use it. I have used it only for light duty work around the house. For my needs it is perfect. I am not sure how it would hold up if it was used day in and day out for 8 hours a day so I can't comment on that.
