Side by Side Comparison of: 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
