Product Description
Ideal for drilling holes and driving screws in wood, metal, and plastic, this 1/4-inch hex cordless drill/driver from Black & Decker features an innovative five-position swiveling head that gets into even the hardest to reach areas. Offering a three-finger trigger for a secure hold as you work, the XD1200K gives you quick and easy access to tight corners, under sinks, around pipes, and in other close quarters. Its first position is that of a standard drill; the second puts you at a 45 degree angle; third is straight-up or in-line; fourth is a backwards 45-degree angle; fifth is a right angle position. Beyond its versatility, the XD1200K boasts a fast and easy seven-bit changing system, a pull and release collar for effortless accessory changes, and a 24-position clutch for optimum control when driving. A 1/4-inch keyless chuck and spring-loaded NiCad batteries that slide in and out make for a user-friendly design, so you can get more done in less time. This handy drill comes with six drill bits, four screwdriving bits, five nut drivers, keyless chuck, one 12-volt battery, charger, and storage case.

Comment:
This model is a must have for me. I could only find the drill online. I have had excellent service with a drill like this for 5 years but the battery finally has become weak. I have dropped it off of latters down 6 feet to concrete floor and it still works.

Not What I Expected
|
Comment:
First the bad, and the false advertising:
- That cool hard plastic case pictured above? You don't get that. Instead you'll get a thin, flimsy bag with no pockets where everything (including the drill bits and chucks) just slam around together.
- When my package arrived 2 of my drill bits were already broken before I even opened the box. I suppose this should be expected because the bits are not secured in anyway so they've just be banging around during shipping.
- It doesn't come with a quick charge, charger. So if you're battery runs dry (and it should, because the manual recommends running it out completely before ever charging it) it takes 3-6 hours to charge.
Good stuff:
- The drill seemed to work and the bits are very quick to change.
Bottom line: They should get rid of the images of the hard case above and replace them with pictures of this craptastic bag sitting in front of me.

Incredibly useful for every kind of project

Comment:
I got this as a Christmas gift from my older brother a year ago. At the time, I remember thinking that I'd maybe use it here and there a couple of times a year. Instead, this thing has proven to be a lifesaver. I've used it on countless home repair and hobby jobs for unscrewing/screwing difficult bolts and screws, drilling pilot holes to drilling door knob holes, sanding, cutting, buffing, routing...you name it. Indoor, outdoor, automotive...with the right bits/attachments, this thing can do just about anything.

Good while it works

Comment:
I have had this drill for a few years. I use it occasionally and it used to work very well. When I needed to drill it drilled. When I needed to drive it drove. And undrove when I made a mistake. A great convenience in putting in screws. I liked it a lot.
It now only works in reverse. There is a switch inside the handle that is supposed to change the direction. It doesn't work any more. I have been in touch with Black and Decker and they say it is not a user serviceable item, and it would cost more to repair than to buy new.
That is bad design. I now have to trash an otherwise perfectly good tool because of a small, minor component.

Great tool for small jobs
|
Comment:
This cordless tool is great for small jobs, and seems to have plenty of power and spunk. However, if you were going to be doing a lot of work on a big project - this drill isn't the one for big jobs. It is light-weight and plastic - which is lighter to work with and the ability to reach hard to get to places is what it is mainly designed for - for that it is great.
