What do you think of when you think of cordless Black & Decker? You may think of small cordless screwdrivers or wimpy tools you only find at discount stores. While I don’t think of cordless Black & Decker tools as industrial grade tools, they really have a wide variety of tools that you will find handy around the house, cabin or lake home.

The cordless Black & Decker lineup contains everything from you basic cordless screwdriver, to cordless drills, cordless scissors, tools for yard work including cordless mowers, hedge trimmers, weed trimmers and more. I have one of the cordless Black & Decker weed trimmers and while it doesn’t have the power of my gas weed trimmer, it has more than enough to trim up around the house and it always starts. The gas trimmers that I have had typically work for a couple of seasons and then I have to rebuild the carb to keep it running.

One of the really neat tools I noticed in the cordless Black & Decker line is a chainsaw called the Alligator. This tool is a small cordless chainsaw with a clamp below the blade that bites down on the wood you are cutting. It really does look like an alligator! They also have a regular cordless chainsaw and a chainsaw that you can extend up on a pole to cut off limbs a little higher up. Again, these cordless Black & Decker tools don’t look like something you would use every day but still, I they have some tools I have never even seen.

Maybe you are looking for a cordless screwdriver for you hobby shop or your camper. Again the cordless Black & Decker line up has several for you to chose from. You can get a very inexpensive tool that will be handy here and there or if you want something with a little more power, try their lithium screw drivers. Lithium tools offer more run time and power in a lighter weight tool that can charge very fast. Some of these tools have LED lights on them making them handy when working in dark corners, maybe like removing hinges inside a cabinet.

They also handle a variety of drills. While I still prefer having my heavy duty Bosch drill at my side, a smaller less powerful drill will work just fine around the house. While most of the cordless Black & Decker drills are fairly reasonably priced, you can afford to have one in your camper, your cabin or lake home. Many of times these tools are more than ample for simple odd jobs around the home like hanging pictures or drilling a small hole to run a cord or something else simple like this. If you do want a little more power, the cordless Black & Decker line includes 24 volt tools available in a combo kit.

One other tool that I guess you can call a cordless Black & Decker tool is their self adjusting wrench. This crescent wrench adjusts to the bolt head with just a touch. I have read a couple of reviews and while some have been able to break them, many felt they were very handy around the house.

So there you have it, a few thoughts on the cordless Black & Decker tool line up. This really doesn’t do their line up justice. You just won’t believe the cordless Black & Decker tools available.

I have 3 black n decker 12v drills (had one before I married, my husband had one already and we have a swivel head one too). I have a brand new battery (bought yesterday) as well as 3 older batteries. I have 3 chargers total and Not one of them will charge the batteries (new or old ones) adequately enough to drill even one hole in my cabinet. I have even tried charging them overnight. Two chargers are the type that plug into the drill itself when the battery is attached. The other charger is separate from the drill and holds a single battery pack. The separate charging pack has a red light on it but it does not light up. I have plugged them into multiple different a/c outlets.

It’s a cheap Black and Decker cordless drill, 18v. I would like to know what voltage tolerance it has(can I use a 15v power supply, how about a 24volt power supply?) and would like to know typically how many amps these cordless drills use under full load.
the Batteries are shot basically, and I can’t find a corded drill with the cordless features(torque settings etc.) so I wish to utilize these drills I have laying around, I was looking in catalogs and seems to me a good power supply I can find is a 15v with 10 amps continuous or a 24 power supply.
I hooked the drill up to my ex-tech variable voltage 3amp 0-30v power supply, my current limiter would keep tripping and can only screw a deck screw in about half way….
What would be a good power supply for this application, and I can’t seem to find the watts the tool draws, so I am not sure how big of a supply I need, or the voltage.
