Side by Side Comparison of: Black & Decker vs BLACK+DECKER

Perfect accessory for my new drill, a great variety for the most common sizes needed for projects around the house.

this is one of those buys that you make and think you'll never use it, But when you need one of them, you'll be real glad you spent the few bucks, when you did.

Had to put my desk together. It worked out pretty good runs well so far. Males life easier. First drill if ever purchased being a single mother for 6 years u just slapped things together the best I could lol but he insisted on a drill for this desk so it got this for the price its pretty good.

Renovating a RV and needed some new bits. These cover a wide variety of sizes and screws. Haven't found anything they haven't fit.

This product came fast came within 3-5 days and was packaged very well. The box was not damaged in any way shape or form. And works perfect with the black and Decker 20 volt lithium drill I also bought to have around my house be a single mother I have to have tools that I can rely on when I need them. Will not hesitate to order something of this form ever from amazon. ...... Great peoduct

Good investment for my new cordless screwdriver! All the basic bits included. I've used one several times so I would highly recommend this product to anyone! Update purchased another for a gift price is unbeatable! Highly recommend!

Use this at work, great tool for assembling and disassembling mechanical equipment, great time saver and wrist saver. The Lithium battery means I can just plug it in when it's not in use, keep it fully charged, and not worry about the battery devolping a memory.

Well worth the price. Not designed for commercial use which is fine . I did not kid myself . For around the house its super. Did the initial charge and used it for a light duty job that required a lot of screwing and bingo . This little driver did great . It does have a surprising amount of low torque so becautious on over tightening on lessor torque required jobs . I stopped short of over tightening and used a manual driver to test an glad I did .This is a screw driver . Not a do all power tool . If screwing is your task then get one .

I used to use the old fashioned hand screw drivers and a friend loaned me their electric screwdriver and I knew I had to have one. I am very pleased with this item and would order from this vendor again.

I ordered it because we just moved in and needed some help putting everything into place... this thing was a life saver! its light weight, battery lasts along time and is so much easy to use! it can be used as a drill as well as screwdriver and i purchased it with additional box of ends, so was a great package!

This is a great tool for hanging pictures or mounting things. It's a good basic to have around the house if you aren't doing any really heavy work that might require a more powerful tool. Great value for what you get!

Finally dropped my old one enough times to break it, but it gave years of good service. This one is even better because it has more torque and the various handle positions give some nice choices for gripping.

I love this little power drill. It seems to have a lot of power..i just needed something for small projects around the house..i didnt want to have to deal with battery packs dying on me so i bought rhis corded one! The cord itself isnt that long so i would make sure to have an extension cord around wish it came with more bits too especially of different sizes but hey i guess i can buy them! I still love it! So far ive drilled holes in some wood (bought seperate attachment) and drilled some key/coat hooks into some wood as well using the screwdriver bit and it worked great!

This drill is awesome! If you buy your axe handles and heads separately, build your own computers from components, or home brew your own beer rather than buying six-packs, you'll like the way the chuck arrives *solidly fused into the open position!* (Read all of the other exciting reviews about that). Yeah, I read 'em before buying. No excuses, buy, and you'll be responsible for getting it to work.So, whatever you may have bought it for, your first project will be.....getting that keyless chuck to close on a bit! Put that Ikea furniture or HDTV mount project aside for just a moment, and consider some options:1. You could break or sprain your wrist if you are thin boned, but glove up and try to grab the chuck and turn the drill on to loosen it.2. If you choose to do that anyway, you may get to smell the sweet odor of burning electric motor. Or, the glove could slip and you'll smell leather burn. (speaking from personal experience on that one.)In the end, I chose to put a steel c-clamp on the chuck, prop it with the open end down against a wood table, and pulse the drill (make sure it is not in reverse, that is, running counter-clockwise or you'll just tighten it on, if that's even possible) while you hold the clamp down for dear life, and PRESTO! That chuck will close! And you'll be PROUD!You will also have "marked" your drill with the indentations from the c-clamp on the plastic housing! Feel free to put stickers on it or write your name in marker, because it'll be yours forever after all that. You'll tell war stories. You'll be inseparable.Don't have a c-clamp? I'm sure Amazon will soon be bundling the drill with this baby soon! So enjoy your drill! (said the way Will Smith says "Welcome to Earth" in Independence Day (the original, not the new one).https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-4027-Malleable-C-Clamp-Opening/dp/B000NY6QO2/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1493746149&sr=1-2&keywords=c+clamp

It drills...although you’ll need to get some drill bits separately. The cord is not super long so you may need an extension cord depending on the job. It comes with one double sided driver bit (Phillips and flat-head) which slots into the bottom of the handle. I can’t speak to how well this works with stone or metal, but for typical wood and drywall work I’ve rarely felt the need to pull the trigger all the way to full speed. I’ve noticed a slight squeak recently after I disengage the trigger but it may be my fault for getting some water and Mr. Clean on it while using a revolver brush. I’m very pleased with this product overall.

My wife and I needed to hang a few more weighty items on the walls of our apartment. We don't own very many tools and where apprehensive about purchasing a drill in lieu of borrowing one. For the price we felt we could justify the purchase, even if we only used it occasionally. I was expecting a drill of lower quality, much like you would find for sub $10 at a place like Harbor Freight. We where surprised at how sturdy it was built and how well it functioned.****************** PROS ******************- Made with quality materials. The parts that come into contact with your hand are made of a softer plastic, much like that found on a ballpoint pen with a grip, but of higher quality. I honestly believe I could use the butt end as a hammer given how strong the plastic is, but I of course don't recommend this.- Very ergonomic, with reasonable reach to the Forward/reverse slider and Lock-on button, all with one handed use.- The chuck is easily adjusted and prevents over-tightening to the bit.- Comes with a Phillips/Flathead bit that will fit most common screws. There is a place to store the provided bit at the bottom of the handle- Very granular control of the variable speed switch, without this feature I would not have purchased this drill. Sometimes you need to start out slow when drilling in a screw, otherwise you may set a screw sideways, etc.- The Lock-on button allows you to set the drill to a specific speed without pressing the switch. This feature is especially useful for situations such as buffing out scratches on a car or using a small sanding attachment.- Anti fray housing where the cord meets the drill, there is nothing worse than having to ditch a drill or repair it yourself because of a now exposed and dangerous power cable- 2 Year Warranty with a 30 day money-back guarantee- Minimal packaging - Comes in a single box with the drill and a small and concise multi-lingual manual, no oversized box or messy cardboard padding.****************** CONS ******************- Like most drills, this has an open grill/air vent that cools the electric motor. I don't feel comfortable using this outside during inclement weather given that I can see the components inside. For normal use, this should not even be a concern.- The drill bit stored in the holder at the bottom of the handle can poke your hand if held a certain way. If this is an issue, you can move the Flathead over to the left a bit and bear the less sharp Phillips tip, or you can remove the bit entirely.(just don't loose it)- The drill is a bit heavy for one handed use and does not benefit from the weight of a battery pack to displace how top-heavy it is.In short, if you are looking for an inexpensive general purpose drill that is of quality, I would invest in this drill.**I purchased this product at full price and was not under any obligation to provide a review**Please stop removing my photos Amazon.

Gave up on the rechargeables - could have easily bought 2 of these for the price of one new battery. And really, for most of us who use these around the house, the only feature I really had to have from the rechargeable was the keyless chuck. If you have to use one all the time, daily and professionally, stick with your high-end rechargeables. But if you find yourself just using one a few times a year, stick with the cord. Its 5 amps never run out and it's actually as light if not lighter than the rechargeables.

Drill is excellent for around the house routine tasks.

When I bought a Black and Decker cordless drill a few years ago, a set of drill bits matching the #15557 was included. As I usually drill smaller diameter holes, these bits were often my first choice, even though I have several other drill bit sets. Through the years this 10 bit set has served me quite well, and I really have nothing bad to say about them. The diameter size ranges from 1/16” to 1/4”. A couple of the smallest sized bits broke, but that is not that unusual with normal use.The rubber holder is convenient and provides easy access, but storing the bits in a hard case would be recommended to help prevent one of the smaller bits from accidentally being broken. The price can fluctuate widely, with $3.88 as an “Add On” item being the lowest I have seen. Even if you do pay a little more, you will probably not be disappointed by the quality and performance of these smaller diameter bits.

I got a drill for the first time needing to do a few things here and there, these have never given me an issue and work great...my needs may be more on the simple side but still i love it!

I am quite happy with my Black & Decker Drill Bit set...they work well and last a long time. I highly recommend these to anyone, even the woman who enjoys using a drill now and then.

It is the little bits that take the most abuse. This kit replaced most of the small bits in my set for very little money.

These were a total life saver for one of my diy projects. They were affordable and did what they were suppose to do. I have a light weight drill that I use for diy if that helps.

Very pleased with this purchase. Purchased this to go with my Black and Decker cordless drill (not really sure which model). These power through dry wall, wood, and cement very well. We have not tried on anything else yet. The black part holds each piece in a practical fashion, making it accessible but also keeping them safe. So far we have not lost one yet. The only con is my own fault. I wish I would have purchased some larger drill bits for installing large anchors in the wall. For now, the largest size one has done the trick. Again, that was my own fault. Awesome product.

The Black and Decker double ended drill bit set was everything I expected. The drill itself came with only one bit and it does not work with the variety of screws that I face around the house and my wife's antique business. The bit set did not come in a case but had a clip to secure them and hold them together. It was an excellent value.

Very nice selection of bits, but they don't fit the screwdriver that Amazon suggested packaging them with

This set has a decent variety of bits for most jobs or projects around the house. The metal is your average strength so make sure you don't strip them or chip the flat heads but going slow and steady. The rubber thingy holds the bits nicely, and won't let them just fall out. The one con is that these things will rust fast if you leave them in a humid environment like a car trunk. As long as you take care of your tools, your tools will take care of you.

I purchased the Black + Decker BDCS40BI 4V MAX Lithium Pivot Screwdriver and this item is listed as an item "frequently bought together". I assumed they would be compatible. They are not compatible. This screwdriver cannot accommodate a double headed bit - only regular hex bits. Black+ Decker customer support was very helpful in resolving the issue.

I install real estate sign posts as well as jewelry and these bits r always necessary for adding accessories to the post such as brochure box and rider holders and wind detentes. These are rugged bits and should last a while. Shipping was here before I knew it and I'm totally happy with my purchase. Prime shipping was two days as promised. I recommend these bits highly. I am beginning to like B&D even though they have their stuff made in China instead of USA but the dremel-like unit was $33 and I was looking at a Fordam for $227 ... the Frodam hits 18,000 rpm and the B&D does 30,000 rpm. Its variable bc when you turn the control knob the rpms rise as u turn it. Good stuff. I recommend it to all.

I'm a big fan of the cordless drill. And I love having one of the multi-purpose double-sided bits handy in the slot provided on the drill so I can remove whatever screw I come across. My original bit that came with the drill like this lasted the better part of 6 years before it cracked. I bought a replacement from DeWalt and that has served me ever since but I wanted to have a few more floating around so I bought these to have handy. They are MUCH cheaper than the DeWalt (which was bought individually for the same price) and there are a lot of different bits here I might use (and some I won't) but in the 90 days I've owned them I've already broken one. So I feel that they are lower quality, time will tell if that is a fluke. So I have to weigh the quality vs price. In the meantime for all I know DeWalt quality has gone down from the usual outsourcing to China so maybe they're both on the same level at this point made by the same plant overseas, who knows but these still seem like a good value.

Great rechargeable drill for small jobs. I feel it's a bit awkward where the trigger/button is located in order to use the drill when it is in the bent angle position. Easier to handle the switch when it is fully locked straight.

A good screwdriver for the value. It's definitely not a lot of power --- good for apartment dwellers who don't need a lot of power but do need a handy tool for those misc jobs. I was diappointed on opening, but it's okay.

I was looking into getting a electric screw driver at a low cost because the battery of my drill die and I didn't want to pay over 50 dollars for a new battery just to use it as a screw driver. So I ended deciding to buy this model because of price and reviews. I received it and opened it right away to use it. It has little charge that worked fort what I needed it. The package instructions says to charge the first time for a minimum of 16 hrs. So I did that after. The weight and grip are very good. The tork and power are perfect. You have forward and reverse to screw in and screw out. You can also set it to manual screw in. Which is good to finalize tightening any screw. The ability to adjust the folding of the driver gives the chance to work around any job. This item comes with wall charger it also includes 2 bits in the package which is good for starters. You will need to buy additional sizes and shapes to get all your jobs done in a jiffy.
What I would change from this item is to add a space where to put the 2 bits it comes with. Maybe a design in the actual driver that incorporates them in would be a solution.
The battery life has been fine. It did run out of juice one time I was using it for a good while. The other times it has been OK. I try to keep it allways charged.

PROS: Works as described and I like the adjustable handle (though a trigger style would be more fun when it's shaped like a gun). I love that it doubles as a stiff screwdriver as well.

CONS: It's easy to lose the bits since there's no way compartment for them, and I wish I could control the speed. No charging light makes me wonder sometimes if it's really charging

This works very good. I drive 1 inch screws into hard wood with no problem. My only gripe which prevents me from giving a 5 star rating is the forward and reverse switch. Hard to move back and forth. I would be happier with a ROCKER switch. I had another driver with this feature and it was much more convenient to go from forward to reverse.

Simple, reasonably price drill. Works great for the simple drilling projects I have. Had no issues drilling on my Jeep with it. Works as expected at a good price point.

I am happy with the drill driver. I do not use these tools very often and have had problems with the batteries going dead and not recharging. This solves that problem and is all I need for the light duty I need.

This is heavy but seems to be decent quality. I bought based on price. If you can afford a name brand lithium-ion cordless drill then spend the extra money. If you won't need to use a drill often or can only afford a low I quality cordless drill, then buy this one.

I purchased this drill for one very specific purpose, and that is for use as a turning lathe to make fishing bobbers/floats from wine corks and bamboo skewers. I needed an inexpensive corded drill at around 500 rpm, with a feature allowing to lock it in the "on" position so I didn't have to rig a zip-tie around the trigger. Now I have a $25 portable mini cork turning lathe, and I can turn a bobber in about 5 minutes. I will update my review in several months to address any possible performance issues, but for now it's working perfectly. I've attached pix of an unfinished batch.

Bought this cheapie drill because I didn't want to burn out my good drill since I'll be using this with a Dual Orbiter Polisher attachment. It has the power and necessary RPM, but this thing is loud.

I am a beginner at the "DIY" lifestyle and I feel very comfortable with this drill. I chose to go with a corded one because it is cheaper and I was not sure I wanted to invest in the cordless ones. Plus, my current workspace is a small patio so it doesn't need to go far. I am glad I bought this one but I am 80% sure when I buy a home I will upgrade to a cordless. Simply because the DIY projects only get bigger and I can't imagine trying to install shelving or curtains unless I get an extension cord.

They are very tiny. Should have read the sizes a bit better. I had only one drill bit, and I was looking for a variety of sizes for random house work. I'll probably only end up using the biggest 2 or 3 sizes. Still inexpensive, and works as advertised.

These drill bits are pretty decent. Not great but certainly get the random around the house tasks done.

I would've liked the drill bits more if they fit the Black & Decker drill that I ordered. This product was offered as a bundle package with the drill but the drill is not capable of equipping bits.

I had another tool set which included drill bits, nut and other driver bits. I either broke or lost a few drills and these replaced them and gave me a few extras.

We recently moved into a new home as first-time home owners so we've been doing a lot of DIY such as hanging wall shelving. I bought these after a few projects where drilling took forever and way too much effort. The drill bits really helped and made our remaining projects much easier and much quicker. My main complaint is the size of the base. I use these with a Black and Decker cordless drill but when using the smaller bits, sometimes the drill loses its grip on the base of the bit and it has gotten stuck in the wall a couple times. If the base of the small bits could have a thicker part for better grip it would be perfect.

This is a companion product to the Black & Decker PD600 Pivot Plus 6-Volt Nicad Cordless Screwdriver with Articulating Head. The drill bits allow you to do more with the product and make it an all-around household tool. Like the screwdriver, it is for the homeowner not a professional builder. It makes many household chores easier

Christmas gift.

Good product for a good price.

When I bought a BLACK+DECKER LI2000 3.6-Volt 3-Position Rechargeable Screwdriver these came up as frequently bought with. That may be but they don't really fit that well, just a little too short and do not have the retainer groove for securely holding the bit in.

Not for AS6NG drill unit which was misleading since it was offered as "others bought" section. Works with my drill so I kept them.

This it not compatible with the bdcs20c model! Amazon show them as "frequently bought together"... I guess because more people did my mistake. The "head" in the screwdriver is not deep enough to insert a double ended pin.Definitely you need a bit set because the bdcs20c comes with only two bits, but not this one!

The bit set did not match the driver it was order to go with from Black & Decker. Not sellers fault, but Amazon representing companion products that really do not match the tool purchased with. Can use these with another driver I own so it is not going to waste by any means.

The power button get stuck down often, this can be very annoying from time to time.

For my mother n law.

It's handy for small stuff, but don't buy if you want to use it as a power toll. Good for light drilling.

Not as powerful as I would like, and a bit awkward to use because where the trigger mechanism was placed.

lack of power

Opened box and went to drill a 1 inch hole with flat wood cutter bit. 2 2x4's that what I needed to drill through. Didn't have enough might to get through it all. Stopped about 3/4 through. Had to go back and forth about 5 more times.

Not very powerful. Good for drilling into wood with small drill bits.

I bought this for the purpose of removing and reinstalling 500sqft of decking. This consisted of removing and replacing about 4000 screws total. It did well right up until the end of the project when the speed controller went out, so I now only have the full-blast speed. With that being said, I got a ton of us out of a very cheap drill and it ended up being a heck of a lot better than fusing with batteries for a cordless.

I had an old Black and Decker drill that finally gave up and I got this one to replace it. This one is okay but not great. It's a little noisier that my previous one, but my biggest issue is that the chuck seems to have too much play in it once you secure a bit in it. It just seems to have several millimeters of play in it. It's not a big deal for most drilling, but when I use it with a 1/16" drill bit to precisely drill bolts for safety wire it's pretty annoying.

Torque is OK, but you won't be super impressed. It is fine for light to medium-duty jobs, but don't buy it expecting a $100 drill. It's not that. At all.

I've had this drill now got it on September 11th of 2015 (now thanksgiving of 2015), I've built a good bit of project with it, shelves, saw horses, boxes etc (I've done this pretty much every other day with this drill) , and it works really well except for a few things, reverse forward switch it aggravating it sticks out a good ways and you have to slide it then bump it a little to get it into place, it blows out a lot of air, so if your working with a place with a lot of saw dust it will blow it in your face. make sure you tighten by hand because, doing it like a ratcheting chuck won't get it tight enough. and it has trouble driving 3-inch #7 drywall screws into 2x4 oak (and pine for that matter) but with oak forget about it. this is a good starter drill for hanging a picture/putting together furniture, I put this little drill to the test, and its finally starting to slow down. for light work it will last a few years at least but with what I do it might last a year if your looking for a drill to do DIY projects like I did with this drill for a long time, don't get this drill spend about 30 $ more and get a porter cable or DeWalt corded drill, but for hanging a picture or for a little grandma this is a great drill. the pictures are the box of the drill (and something else I ordered with it just ignore it) and some things I've​ built with it to show you can do a good bit with this drill.

I bought these drill bits as an add on item so they were sub 5 bucks. Not bad for drill bits however the 1/4 inch isnt straight and wobbles quite a bit. Not as noticeable in the smaller bits but once the 1/4" is in a jig it bounces like crazy. They do a pretty decent job though in soft material.

ok but not very strong. One drill bit already broke.

I purchased the these drill bits to go with the Black & Decker LI2000 I purchased. It was suggested along with the Black & Decker 71-081 Double Ended Bits. I tried using these drill bits with the screw driver, and I wasn't able to get them to fit. I'm not sure if there is another piece I need to try to get the bits to fit on the screw driver.

i wish it had larger sizes

Does not work with the drill that I bought as6ng

The smallest bit broke off first thing when drilling a hole. It got stuck, tried to back it out, but it just snapped. Thus, immediately I don't have the tiniest bit. But - I probably won't need it. There is no case - just the base into which the drill bits fit...so they're sitting out in their base. A cover of some kind would have been nice. But when you see the B&D name you sort of trust you're going to get something good.It's not bad. Just not great. Tools - you buy them to work...so far, at least one bit works.

Its ok

bought with the B&D cordless screwdriver that was recommended- they did not fit. went back to the hand held screwdriver to get the job done.

Most of the bits stripped out quickly even when used on slow or low power settings

Let me start by saying I expected more from a product with the trusted name of Black & Decker on it. The phillps head bits all rounded off or completely snapped off very quickly. Got no more than a dozen uses out of any of them with my cordless drill. I gave the product 2 stars because I have not used the other bits included. Will not purchase again.

Only good for a few uses each.

I read several reviews about these bits before buying them.I installed a replacement steel entrance door on my garage yesterday.Broke the head off of one #2 Philips bits and ruined 2 others.Guess the "Brand" name didn't get me anything."Fabrique en China" should have told me everything!!!!

Very little power even fully charged. I end up using my manual screwdriver each time.

This was very cheaply made. Don't know what I expected for the price but years ago I had a similar one that was fantastic. This one was disappointing and wasn't very strong and kind of hard to use and position your hand. I returned it.

power button gets stuck sometimes and you have smack the driver to get it unstuck

Ok drill. limited drill bits. Packaging was a nightmare. Cut my hand open trying to open the darn thing. Had I known this was going to be the plastic packaging of death, I probably would have bought something else. No joke. It's the 21st century and we're still packaging products in "un-openable" plastic , just to save a buck? For shame.

The B&D LI2000 3.6 doesn't measure up as a cordless screwdriver. Here's why:

It has only one setting re. torque, unlike my Craftsman, which allows multiple settings. It handles small tasks well enough, but it's a poor substitute for a more powerful tool. It just doesn't have the oomph for the tougher screwing requirements.
More importantly, it has a serious design flaw: The switch is on the top, instead of the bottom or handle. A multiple position screwdriver is supposed to be convenient because of its ergonomics, and having to reach your thumb across the hinge is a real drawback when it's in the gun position, as pictured. The button should be on the handle, like a trigger. I don't have small hands, but I still have trouble pushing the button down unless I straighten the screwdriver out, or use both hands, which defeats the purpose.
If you want a simple screwdriver for simple jobs, the B&D LI2000 is that, and nothing else. As long as you keep it in the straight position, it's serviceable. That's the best I can give it, which keeps this review barely above one star. I'm giving it to my seven-year old son to play with, although he'll likely have the same frustration with it.

Overall, I have to recommend against this item. Get something that has a trigger on the handle, that has variable torque, and gives you the power you need.

Great price, enough power for most household tasks. I didn't have any issues with the chuck as some users have. However, after just of hours of moderate use, the drive gear sheared off the chuck shaft... (and of course I missed the return window!). Motor runs fine, just doesn't drive the chuck anymore. I can only recommend this drill if you're only ever going to use it for very light work. Anything more and you run the same risk as I did... I promise not to be so cheap next time...!

It's amazing that a drill can be manufacture so cheaply, but consider buying something a bit more expensive. Nothing is wrong with any functional part of the drill, but the chuck doesn't lock, so changing bits is very awkward. If you use a drill often this will become really annoying. If you need a drill for once per month use you should buy this one.

A very weak drill. I can stop it from spinning with barely any effort. Unsuitable for basic household tasks (like drilling holes in things, or tightening or loosening screws). The first bullet point for the item description says "powerful" but oh what a meaningless, qualitative term. It's an extremely weak drill, and I'm going to donate it to Goodwill.I suppose if all you want to do is drill holes in drywall, it's probably strong enough for that.

Still haven't figured out how to open the chuck. Guess I'll have to get a guy to help. The instructions seemed inadequate.

Was supposed to come with a leveler on the drill according to the description, however that is not what I received. It does the job. Gets hot easily.

The chuck wouldn't budge right out of the box. Cheap. I learned my lesson quickly about buying cheap power tools.

Came at a good price, but haven't figured out how to fit into my new hand-held Black & Decker batterie-powered drill. So far no good

Cheap. Broke on my project.

these were "recommended" by Amazon based on the drill I added to my cart, but they do not fit/work with that drill...

Not as advertised - doubt I will use it much

So I just started getting into building random things out of wood and the like. I didn't realize that these dril bits are meant for a specific type of drill because they have rounded inserts, which do not work with your basic drill. Also, they are not as sturdy as I had hoped, because the 4 smaller ones all broke when I tried to drill through plywood. Just spend 10 more dollars and get the titanium drill bits from Dewalt. You'll end up saving money in the long run because you'll end up buy those anyways when these break.

This was offered as a companion product when I bought my Black & Decker SmartDriver LI4000 Type 5. Unfortunately, when I went to use them, they do not fit (and it is far too late to return). The SmartDriver requires "Hex Shank" or "Quick Connect" bits, but these are round.I will be buying this instead: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-71-973-30-Piece-Screwdriving/dp/B00099E7W4/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_i.This should not be offered with the SmartDriver.

It didn't work for me. There should be more description and warnings on this item. I have tried these in several of my replaceable bits and none seems to fit.

This was recommended with the automated screwdriver I purchased, so therefore I added to the purchase. Since the attachments are double-sided it is not compatible as stated in the product information that came with the screwdriver.

Amazon provide the link to this on the page of Black Decker LI2000 3.6-Volt 3-Position Rechargeable Screwdriver. But the fact is that it cannot be used to that screwdriver. Waste my money

Does not fit the black and decker screw driver that I bought even though Amazon "suggested" I buy them together

I'm rather stunned by the poor quality of this screw bits. I bought them because, albeit inexpensive and albeit Black and Decker tools are a below average regarding, they work. And Black and Decker is a name brand. I figured they would insist on a minimum standard. Nothing doing. I tried drilling three inch screws into pressure treated wood. I was quite literally have to throw the bits away after every fourth or fifth screw. All four of the Phillips head bits that were finished after about 20 screws. You get what you pay for. What really amazes me is how they got 4.5 stars. The more I buy on Amazon--and I buy a lot--the less faith I have in the rating system.

These are probably okay for light hobby use but do not use them for anything that requires a lot of torque. I couldn't get 5 screws driven for my project before the tips were twisted. The wood was pretty hard but I pre-drilled all the holes. I did 2/3 of my project on one Ryobi bit and then switched to these. After 3-5 screws they would be completely deformed. I ran through all 3 or 4 of the appropriate sized bits in this kit and did the remaining 50 or so screws with one DeWalt bit and no problems.I had some very soft wood on the top of my workbench I was assembling and these bits worked better in that but still deformed quickly. The harder studs destroyed them almost immediately.

Item was missing the drill bits that it stated it included. Item is also very weak, opt for something a few dollars more with more power, you will be glad you did.

This is the WORST drrill ever. I just got done using it on my first major project and could not hold the screw driver at the same time and use is. The power is ar the top so you need to contort your hand to use it. I would be sending it back but it but the order is now too old. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!

Not the same drill I got that is in picture.what is this all about

Horrible product! Never worked. Battery won't hold a charge with the charger plugged in.

Charger stopped working after only a few months! So sad.

This product worked like a champ for one day, removing and inserting 3" screws while I was repairing a fence. By the end of the day it was feeling a bit weak. I put it on charger overnight. Has not worked at all since then.

The manual advises you (a) "fully recharge batteries after each use" (b) "disconnect charger from tool after charge is complete." But there is no indicator to show when the battery is fully charged. So these instructions are hard to follow.

The tool needs a red light to say "needs charging" and a green light to say "fully charged.".

Other than the lack of a battery full indicator, this is a great product. Has powerful torque. And a charge lasts a long time.

I have literally destroyed the chuck in an attempt to get it loosened. Channel locks, pipe wrench, vice, very large friends...nothing can unlock the chuck. Obviously I can't return the thing based on the condition of said chuck, so I will continue all avenues in an attempt to loosen it however it's no longer useful for the reason I ordered. I commend those that were able to accomplish the impossible but sadly, on this day, it wasn't to be.

Chuck was stuck tight as seems to be a common problem. I was one of the few people able to finally get it loosened, however one of the three teeth was snapped in half because it had been on so tight.... rendering the keyless chuck useless. Also, no bubble level as advertised.

I got one the chuck would not open at all. Buyer beware of this brand!

After driving only a couple hundred screws the motor would over heat and not run until it cooled for a while. Then I put it to fairly heavy use and the gears stripped - lasted almost two weeks.

I am one of the 4% that could not get the chuck to unscrew. I sent it back.

Out of the box the chuck won't open. I've been directed to contact Black and Decker to resolve the issue.

These drill bits were an add on item for a hand held drill, which is ridiculous because they're not meant for it. When used with an actual drill, they easily snap without much pressure, and get stuck in the wall. Considering the brand name, I expected better quality. These bits are junk!

I ordered the drill bits thinking they would fit the PD 600 drill and screwdriver combo but little did I know I would also need a bit tip holder . These drill bits were advertised to go with the PD 600. Alas, there was no drill bit holder which means they are of no use to me and the item would be more trouble for me to send back. I'm very disappointed.

These bits are listed together with the AV600, and vice-versa, but they're not compatible. The AV600 uses hexagonal bits with a wide base; these ones have bases that are only as wide as the bit itself. The drill can be forced to grasp the largest bit (which is hugely unsafe) but the rest of them are far too small for the drill's cuff. Do NOT make the mistake of purchasing these items together.

Another sneaky attack by Black + Decker, the first was the double ended bits 71-081 and now the 15557 10 pieces drill bit set (rounds) not (hex) and will not fit with Li4000 hand held screw driver. This was also recommended purchase together and it doesn't fit because of sneaky advertising. Again, wasted money and not worth the trouble sending it back. Would be cool if Black and Decker just refund back into amazon account purchased from.

The smaller drill bits break really easily. Most annoyingly, they break off in your wall, which means that you have to open up the hole to retrieve them, then repair the hole you made to fish the tip of the drill bit out. Turned a 20 minute project into a 2 day ordeal involving patching and repair and waiting for spackle to dry. Spend the extra money on drill bits that won't snap in half on first use.Plus, the larger drill bits are not sharp enough to actually puncture harder surfaces (like hardwood). So you end up running down your motor trying to break through the surface, and generating a ton of mess. Not worth it.

not even worth a dollar. One of the bits snapped like a toothpick on my first attempt. The slimmer bits bend during drilling and they will snap. Can't speak for the larger bits as I have not used them but they look sturdier. Overall, I would invest in a quality set than this.
