Easy to understand Aug 27, 2008
All my old manual screwdrivers were dull and ineffective so it was finally time to invest in new tools. I used to avoid having to buy anything that required screws because I didn't want to deal with the strength required sometimes to drive the screws in as far as I want and calluses/blisters that would sometimes form on my palm from putting too much pressure manually. It was long overdue to get a power screwdriver, and I'm extremely pleased. Now I can't wait for reasons to need to use it! I'm a novice when it comes to electric/power tools and this was easy enough for me to figure out how to work with minimal perusal over the brief instructions included. It comes with a few starter bits, and they couldn't be easier to change out. It's powerful enough to deal with everyday jobs around the home, yet lightweight and easy to handle, which is all I need. I don't need to buy any additional components for this tool for my uses.
The only other thing I could wish for is a better way to monitor battery charge. As it is, I charge the battery by counting down the hours and relying on B&D's opinion of how long it should charge for as stated in the instructions (3-6 hours), and not by the red light on the charger because the light does not seem to go off ever; the purpose of the light on the charger seems to be only to indicate that it's plugged in - not that the battery is still charging. The light doesn't go off when the battery is fully charged like so many other products' chargers do. Perhaps I'm missing something there.
Good value overall.
 Does Everything I Need it To. Jul 08, 2008
First of all let me say that I don't know anything about heavy industrial uses for a drill so I am not qualified to speak of such issues as I have never been a tradesman. Further, I have never been asked to take part in any projects in which I had anything to do aside from digging or simple grunt work. Therefore, the other reviewers are far better qualified than I in regards to judging whether this drill is effective in diverse settings. I bought mine strictly for home use. I just got a new condo and the 12V comes in handy for everything I need to do. It drilled holes perfectly for cabinet handles and cabinet knobs. I also made steady use of it for the putting up of window treatments. The model was reliable and I have no complaints. It appears ideal for simple home operations and is a great addition to my toolbox. Also, considering that I got mine for 37 bucks--it's financially a good deal.
Nice tool ! Jun 19, 2008
I have several Black and Decker 12 volt cordless power tools. This one is the most dynamic of them, because it is flexible. It has the same level of power as my standard 12 volt system, yet can get into places the CDC1200K cannot. The "QuickConnect" feature is GREAT if you have the bits to support the 1/4" chuck. I use the other drill for drilling and this one for driving. If you purchase the multi-voltage quick charger ( at amazon or many other places ) you can have a conditioned, charged battery that is ready at a moments notice. If your not building the Trump Tower, these 12 volt drill/drivers are GREAT.
Black and Decker cordless drill/driver review Jun 18, 2008
I recently purchased the Black and Decker XD1200K drill/driver kit to be used to assemble a recently purchased garden shed. So far, the swivel and torque adjustments have come in handy, bit changing is a "snap" and the weight is just perfect. The only draw back I've found is that there is no magnetic bits for holding screws when installing the studs and siding (and there is a ton of screws!). I would recommend this tool for every day repair jobs around the house. It is very maneuverable and has been a pleasure to use.
