Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker VP750 VersaPak 3.6-Volt PivotDriver Cordless Two-Position Screwdriver
Customer Review: Black & Decker VP750 PivotDriver
Summary: 4 Stars
Got one for Christmas to replace an aged B&D 9018. I use it for the more mundane stuff and reserve the heavy "screwdriver" work to my cordless DeWalt drill. I really appreciate the locking armature and the 40 in/lb of tork satisfies most of my household needs. I like the fact that I can charge one battery (which can be quickly re-charged) while I use another one. Something I could not do with the 9018. All-in-all, I feel it is a good buy, but a bit bulky. Trade-off I guess.Customer Review: Poor Design
Summary: 1 Stars
I had 2 of these units in less than 1 month as both failed. Although the overall design is good and there seems to be enough power for the average home job there is a design flaw. The internal battery clip that connects the battery to the drive motor is of very poor design. If you happen to rotate the battery while it is installed in the unit the internal connection clip will break causing the tool to fail. B&D told me they were aware of this flaw and are working on the problem. However, they continue to sell them in the market place.Customer Review: Not a Drill/Driver, but pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the kind of tool that you buy so that your wife, kids don't use your good drill for everything. I had to put some things together that we received for X-mas together and it worked great. It is alot less bulky than my cordless drill, and I worked with it for over 2 hours and didn't need a recharge. Agood buy, but I have questions about it's durability.Customer Review: Apparent Design Defect Renders Tool Inoperative
Summary: 3 Stars
I am on my third screwdriver in one month's time. The same failure caused me to return the first two for replacement. It seems that the connecting pin for the battery in recessed handle area of the tool is prone to easy breakage. Once this pin is broken the battery can not make contact and the tool will not operate.Beyond what appears to a design defect the tool is handy, easy to use and seems a good value.
Customer Review: GREAT, VERSATILE, POWERFUL SCREWDRIVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Pivotdriver is light, has more than enough power and with its angle feature, you can use it just about anywhere. It is powered by the Versapak battery system- which is a must for do it yourselfers. One battery powers all types of products- screwdrivers, drills, saws, vacs, lights etc. Pivotdriver comes w/ battery and charger.
