Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker VPX1212X Li-Ion 14.4-Volt VPX Drill Driver

Customer Review: Very satisfied with this drill/driver
Summary: 4 Stars

I loaned my cordless to a neighbor and he lost it. Since he couldn't find the same brand locally (Hitachi) he bought me the Black and Decker VPX1212 to replace it. I'm satisfied. I spent the weekend building a foundation for a greenhouse and put up some fencing around the new building. The drill worked well for driving screws. I even joined 4x4's with 5 1/2" screws without pre-drilling. This baby has serious torque, as much as my middle aged wrists can handle.

The drill seems well made and well balanced. It is reasonably light too, for the amount of driving power it offers. The only down side is how fast I use up batteries. I went through the first pair, put them in the charger and used up the second set before the first was fully charged. The two sets were what the neighbor got to replace my old drill. I'll pick up another set.

On the plus side, a new pair is only $26 at WalMart. That's the cheapest I've seen for any cordless drill batteries.

Oh, my wife thinks the three color design looks like it was done by Nike. She has a point; though I like the small amount of orange, enough to find the drill easily but not obnoxious.

    Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
    Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are.

    With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

    About the 14-volt VPX cordless drill/driver
    The new VPX1212X drill/driver from Black & Decker offers powerful drilling in a convenient, compact design. This rugged tool is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one.

    High voltage drills are typically heavy and often too bulky for tight spaces, but the VPX1212X has a compact design that gets the job done even in the most cramped working areas. And this drill may be pocket-sized, but don't underestimate it. This model delivers up to 80-percent more torque than Black & Decker's compact 14.4-volt drills, even though it's 15-percent smaller.

    The VPX1212X offers two speeds: high-speed for fastening and assembly jobs, and low-speed for drilling and higher torque applications. It also features a 24-position clutch that lets you customize your torque settings, a variable-speed trigger for better control, and a metal single sleeve chuck with a knurled pattern to help improve gripping. The VPX1212X is powered by two 7-volt VPX batteries (included) that are interchangeable with other VPX products. It comes complete with a dual port charger and a sleek, form-fitting case -- plus a 20-piece accessory set.
