A new generation of drills is here with some great long-lasting Lithium-ion batteries and great dual battery mobility making the Black & The Decker VPX Drill/Driver is an all around fantastic tool.

Drills and drivers for common everyday tasks around the house and make a great tool to protect the tool box that has jumped out with today’s lithium-ion technology. Next is the great use of dual batteries that make it easier and more logical to use the devices and users.
Dual battery use VPX EXERCISE / Drive also used in a host of other VPX products from Black & Decker such as the VPX Cut Saw, VPX LED Flashlight, VPX Cow and VPX Inflator. Some of these devices use a single battery, while others are more battery-draining like the Cow Hand and the Drill/Driver that I got take two.
The use of dual batteries means an easier change for these batteries and less expensive to buy new ones and also saves money. The ball bowls for these machines, the VPX bowls, are much more user friendly because of the multiple bowls. You can gang bowls together and charge multiple batteries from one outlet.
Black Line VPX & Decker Tools is a great new step forward in high power machine tools. EXERCISE / I got the driver, model VPX1212X, a very nice and hefty instrument and yet not so heavy as to be tiring, that middle instrument of a strong place.
Black & Decker Drill / Driver model VPX1212X comes with a drill and two batteries, stand tray, case, set drill bits and set driver bits that fit into the side pockets of the case. The drill is well laid out with a button on the front opposite of the trigger through the body of the finger and thumb.
The driver has many features such as the speed of the two transmissions to quickly receive jobs like training done quickly and then the more serious job like screwing in the forest still driving Two speed transmission changes with a flip slide switch over to revolutions per minute 0-350 and 0-1200.
Other features for EXERCISE/DRIVE include two modes for either exercise or a variable force number setting that slides in the appropriate setting for tired or not at all exercise. Chuck is a nice all metal hand monk that also locks hair unlike many of the old ones that often fell apart when tied.
Low back pain drill has low back pain grip for easy low battery warning for each battery pack. No guessing who the low is, just look at the light and the low pop out. It saves another thing entirely with lower separate costs that are affordable for hardware and home improvement stores for about $20.
This lower price is much better than fifty or sixty for those big batteries like my older Black & Decker 14.4 Volt drill driver. A battery for that model costs almost as much as a new driver’s drill set, so why only buy batteries? Now with the VPX system you buy individual batteries and you won’t have to pay close to the cost of the whole drill/drive set.
For those charging you, the batteries just plug into the charger, but you can plug multiple batteries into any other charger. This integrated system works very well for multiple use of exercise like at home do jobs where you have the advantage of two drills and dishes for them time saver
A construction site is another place where this system would be fantastic, not to mention a lot less confusing for workers to mention. I saw a mess of bowls on a job site with a bunch of cords lying around all to charge a bunch of batteries from all different brands of drills, drivers, saws and such.
Black & Decker EXERCISE / Drive has plenty of power to exercise or drive with good torque in the low setting and great speed in the higher gear. I did a little testing and drove in 68 2 and half inch screws fully on four four sticks.
Black & The Decker Drill/Driver did a great job and finally got juice running on one battery at 68 screws with the indicator showing one battery low but the other one not coming. On several other screws I did a part of the way starting from about two inches and then less and less, but I could not point to the other battery as low. I have delivered.
The drill driver slowed down and did not drive the screws much past half an inch and then forced a stop. Since these two batteries are probably normal and all I had to do was replace one battery, this ended my test as there was no way I could compare other drivers with this battery change.
I thought that driving 68 screws 2 and a half feet in length would be good enough for a full four, and I looked on the internet to find some pretty decent comparisons. There were several tests comparing drills and drivers that performed a similar or exact test but the results were considerably better than other drills.
However, the fact that this drill uses two separate batteries does not make this comparison fair with other drills, and that from the black & Decker. Pulling current into separate batteries does not drain the batteries evenly as my testing has shown so there really isn’t an accurate way to compare this drill with others in the same testing category.
I think that I can fully drive in 68 screws for a pretty good test and the drill driver passed well enough that my opinion is quite positive. I really like the feel of Black & Decker VPX Training/Driver and how it performed in my little test. The drill has a nice heft, but it’s not so heavy that it’s due to constant use of the filter like I’ve been driving screws for half an hour and then you’ve taken it down with a psaltery.
The rubber grip feels nice and even if your hands are slightly slippery from sweat you can still hold the handle securely. During the test my drill didn’t get very hot like my corded drill or even the previous cordless driver with half the workload.
Black & Decker Drill/Driver is a nice exercise as well as doing good work on those screws. The drill method works well for drilling various metal like sheet metal and sheet metal. I have several pieces of silver scrap metal hanging around my workshop base for this type of gun testing.
I had no problems with the drill driver holding the bits securely just by hand tightening the bits. In previous models of hand-contracted chickens, I had problems with the bits not being held firmly enough.
With the VPX Drill/Drive the locking mechanism that keeps the mount from turning away as you tighten the mount works very well. He has a monk from the fact and without any problems to go from binding to art and other uses. The monk is well designed with the rest of the black & Decker VPX Drill/Drive.
Black & The Decker VPX Drill/Driver is a powerful 14 volt power tool with a large new dual battery for improved performance and versatility. I really like this drill driver and I highly recommend it to anyone doing it at home or anyone who needs a great tool.
