BLACK+DECKER 8V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver (BDCD8C)

Nice lightweight gun for a great price. Has decent power, and battery life. Got one for my 10 year old son who's taken a real interest in construction and building things, and he loved it. However he also lost the charging cable immediately. Its a one-of-a-kind plug, so there's no replacing the cable alone. I liked it enough (and the price was decent enough) that i figured I'd just get him another one, so that he could at least use the same charger for both guns and have one for drilling and one for screw driving. Of course we found the lost cable a couple days after the second one arrived, but I just kept both because I really like the guns and having both was working out well for him. Would definitely recommend for a first driver, or for anyone who needs a lightweight, compact screw gun for minor house projects. Obviously wouldn't recommend for large jobs or heavy-duty applications.

Very good lightweight drill and screwdriver. The size is excellent for average hands. I am very pleased with the operation of this mahand held machine.

I have used this for a few years for repairs around the house. It is not a high powered drill but it has held up well for light work and is overall a good product for the price if it is not something you plan to use daily

Serviceable drill, did its job with various household repairs, but it grew noticeably weaker over time. After 3-4 years, it could barely tunnel through the drywall no matter how long we charged it or what head we used. Keep this in mind when considering a drill that lasts.

I purchase it in September 2020. I read and followed instructions on charging. Plug into Drill first BEFORE you plug it in. Unplug from the wall FIRST then remove plug from Drill. I never knew that, and my previous drills never lasted long. This one is still going strong January 2026.

I needed a small voltage drill driver since my out 1980"s B&D 7.2 Univolt battery is available. I saw this B&D 8V Max on an add. I checked it out and was impressed and ordered it. To my surprise it is smaller, lighter weight and a powerful or more than my old Univolt. I do miss the two speed drive for drill and drive, The battery life is very good, Grandson drove 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 inch screw in pine, about 200 and didn't need a recharge. I then drove about 50 2 1/2 inch screw s in 2x4, it was still going. but I charged it at this time. When I couldn't get a battery for my Unvolt DE Walt told me they did not make any low voltage drills. Maybe the customer care people need an education in company products. By the way DEWALT owns B&D.

Thjis drill is really one step above an electric screwdriver- It is for light duty applications, and probably not for use with thicker metal or heavy dense woods. It is good for screwing hardware into walls and small diameter holes in light materials0 What I" liked mostly is the fact the charger cord goes right into the gun itself and there is no heavy batter that then clicks into the hand grip. the lithium battery is claimed to charge in one hour from a depleted state. Operation is easy with a keyless chuck. the price is good at under $30. s

I bought this one to replace the previous model as I had lost the charger. The previous model had 10 torque setting as well as drill mode. This new model is just one speed. No torque setting. The rpm isn't very high. It's ok for basic light weight drilling. The lack of torque setting means it's not as good for using driver bits. It's small size makes it usable is much smaller spaces than a full sized drill. Basically the ONLY 2 reasons I bought this over another brand were 1. the old model was fantastic and 2 this new model has USB charging. ( and not a dedicated charger is likely to get lost) Anyway is DOES NOT come with a micro USB charging port as shown in the product description. I did check the reviews. Some people say is does have a micro USB port. So perhaps there are two versions. Just be aware that the one I recieved was a dedicated and unique b&d proprietary charging port and charger and not micro USB. That's the reason for the 3 stars though honestly I would never have bought it knowing this as I lost the charger to the old one. And also the previous model charger is not compatible with this one.
