BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* POWERCONNECT 1/4 in. Cordless Impact Driver Kit (BDCI20C)

This Black & Decker drill works really good and it's a tuff drill for any job you put it to.

I have had several 20v max tools. I have no complaints. They may not be contractor grade but for DIY and typical use they are perfect and affordable.

love this item so much. It works so good for my needs. It is really well built and holds a lot of weight. It is well made and very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone.

At half the cost of all the other impact drivers out there, I think this is a pretty good deal. I wasn't looking to get the "best" or "commercial" grade carpenter product. Just something for small odd jobs and projects, etc. Comes with the driver, battery, charger, and manual in the box. No storage bag or case. If you want those things expect to pay $$$. I didn't need them. If you think you'll be using this on a larger project like replacing a deck or wooden fence, you most probably want something a little bit more robust, Dewalt? If you're just driving a few screws and nuts time to time with projects or fixing something this works great for that application. It has torque but don't expect to use this to take the lugs off your car wheel, okay? It's not that kind of a driver.

Growing up, I had to learn home improvement and fixing skills by myself on the fly. Because of this, impact drivers were a blind spot in my tool knowledge; I had vaguely heard of them, didn't pay them any notice, since I already owned a drill and though it was redundant. Let me tell you: it's not redundant. Being that its designed slightly different than a drill, it is much more effective and powerful at driving screws. You might say, "whatever, I'll deal with my drill's mediocre driving performance, it can't be that much better," but consider this: you will not have to swap out a drill bit and a driver bit every two seconds while doing a job. Also, many times I've found situations that previously would have needed a pilot hole drilled for my drill to drive the screw, it's simply not necessary for the impact driver. So, this review is for others like me, who may not have much knowledge of these, or might be struggling to see the need for one; just go for it. It's a sidekick tool that you'll quickly get used to having in your arsenal, and you'll be glad you bought it. Quality wise, I've used it a ton in the time I've had it and is holding up great. Battery lasts quite a while and the design is really helpful for getting into tighter spaces that a large drill wouldn't typically fit.

This is a great Black & Decker product at an affordable price.

Perfect and fast shipping!

INITIAL IMPRESSION The chucks on regular drills are poorly suited for driver bits. Even if the bit spins in the chuck just once, damage is done. To prevent wear on my drills and save time, I had to get an impact driver. The Black + Decker BDCI20C 20V MAX Lithium Impact Driver met my needs on paper. It's half the price of the popular contractor brands, but the torque and bpm's is comparable. Low cost off brand high capacity battery replacements are available, which of course provides longer life, and also greater capacity to drive difficult screws as one popular Youtuber found, and provides greater assurance of being able to keep this tool powered for many years to come. The balance with the 1.5Ah battery is at the bottom of the trigger. Even though this tool is capable of variable speed, the manual recommends using full speed to prolong tool life. There is a small LED above the trigger, and a magnet on top of the drill for holding bits. The chuck is about 1 inch deep and is not magnetic, and requires bits with large U slots rather than the kind that has a tiny groove that barely knicks the corners. This will primarily be used on my cars, motorcycle, bikes, around the house and maker creations. I take care of my tools at home and work, so this review won't cover abuses like letting the motor get infiltrated with metal grinding dust, storing the battery at 0% charge for long periods, or trying to use it like an impact wrench. Overall it's a great first impression. I'll provide several updates in the future. Update 1: This has plenty of power, but like any impact driver with a small battery, it fades on long screws due to voltage sag. If this happens, charge the battery back up, or get a larger battery because they're more resistant to voltage sag. On Youtube check out a video by Charlie DIYte titled "Difference between Drill Drivers & Impact Drivers" starting at 9:45. So far I've used mine to replace an oil pan and reinforce some decking with 2 inch screws. It's about to get a lot more use.

battery expensive. i hope they can decrease the price

Lo que más me gustó ha sido el resultado que me ofrece el de impacto, prácticamente es útil en cualquier nivel de longitud y dureza que se requiere. La batería tiene una muy buena duración y se siente muy resistente, ademas de que el acabado me parece bueno. No compraría una herramienta de este tipo de mayor costo, ya que comparado con otras, esta me resulta útil para todo lo que requiero, desde trabajos pequeños hasta de mayor importancia, y sobre todo muy económica.

Tested this impact driver yesterday. It worked beautifully. Used it for changing tires on 2 cars. For the price of this driver, you can’t beat it. It came with a 20V, 1.5 AMP battery, good enough for most simple jobs. It may not be a professional quality tool, but for an average person like me, this product is perfect. If you want a longer-lasting battery, you can always buy a B&D 2 packs, 20V, 4.0 AMP batteries from Amazon for a great price. Update about this impact driver. I am amazed by the functionality of this product. It made changing tires a breeze and a pleasure. Totally recommend this product. It made my life a lot easier in doing simple jobs around the house.

昔から、アメリカ製のBLACK + DECKERを使っていたので、20Vのバッテリーがたくさんあったので、日本向けの18V型ではなく、こちらを選びました。 （20Vのバッテリーは18V型にも使えるとか後から聞きましたので失敗） 以前は、ねじり式でビットを固定させていたので、日本の六角ビットも問題なく使えていましたが、新しいモデルになったこのドリルは、引き出して固定する方法になっていて便利になったのですが、ビットを固定する溝の位置が日本のものよりも短いので、日本のビットがしっかり固定できなくなりました。 また、ビットジョイントも、付属のビットはネジの頭にクビの部分がないので、全く使えません。 ちなみに、付属のビットは、日本のドリルでは、ちょっと前後にゆるみはありますが、使えます。 幸い、アメリカ製のビットも持っているので問題はないですが、日本製しか持っていないと、新たに買い足すことになります。 以前のものよりも軽くなったので、操作しやすくなったのと、全面にライトが付いて狙いがつけやすくなり、また、ちょっとした照明替わりにも使えて便利です。 以前のものよりも、インパクトが微妙に弱くなったような（音が小さくなっただけ？）気がしますが、今のところ、問題なく使えているので、よくわかりませんが、性能が良くなってスムーズになったせいとかかもしれません。

La relación calidad precio es excelente. Si buscas algo profesional no es tu opción, pero para trabajos esporádicos o ligeros es muy recomendable. lo he empleado para atornillar y perforar concreto y hasta ahora tiene potencia y eficiencia sobresaliente.
