Black & Decker SC1400 14.4-Volt Cordless Super Compact Drill with Lithium-Ion Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for $69 from amazon on a sale and am quite happy so far.I leave it on trickle charge as the instructions say this is ok.Plenty of power, twice what my old Makita 9.6 volt had but about half some of the high end 18 volt Makitas or similar. Still for a homeowner like me, it works fine, it is small and pretty light.I don't know how long the battery will last but I am going to try to install a new one when it goes.Be aware, the battery is built in to the unit, I guess you are supposed to dump the whole thing when the battery finally dies, we'll see how easy it is to replace.The chuck works well, controls work well on the drill also.
Edit:Still no problems, plenty of power, long battery life.

Product Description:
Tired of that battery-powered drill being dead when you need it most? Here's an alternative. Surprisingly powerful and stunningly lightweight, Black & Decker's SC1400 18-Volt Cordless drill kit features the best energy-to-weight ratio and longest-lasting charge available. A very forgiving power drill for those who hate cords but forget to recharge, this tool is powered by a lithium-ion battery that holds a charge up to 18 months longer than nickel-cadmium tools.
A state-of-charge indicator tells you how much battery power is left so you know when it's time for a recharge. And, a fixed, internal battery lets you just drop the whole tool into the included charging base, rather than detaching the battery from the tool and then attaching it to the charger, a procedure that sometimes takes longer than just drilling the darn hole.
And, for even less downtime, the tool's single sleeve all-metal chuck means easier and faster bit swaps. Designed for tough drilling and driving applications, the tool packs 200 percent more power than traditional 18-volt drills. It's also 40 percent smaller and 30 percent lighter for easier handling, even in tight quarters. The purchase is covered by a manufacturer 2-year warranty. --Brian Olson
