Black and Decker offers a range of corded and cordless tools for all your DIY needs. As the inventor of the world’s first (non-commercial) cordless drill, Black and Decker has a history of being the first to bring innovative technologies to the market. In 2010, the company joined forces with Stanley to become the world’s largest tools and storage company.
While it’s not a common choice for professionals, the Black and Decker brand has a solid reputation for its home improvement and DIY power tools. It also offers garden tools to get your yard in good shape this spring. Although some of its tools are hit-and-miss in terms of performance, the brand is ideal for most simple applications and getting quick jobs done around the house.
As you’re not quite guaranteed the quality from Makita, you can expect a lower price tag in return. The BDCI20C 20V Impact Driver, for instance, costs a reasonable $79.99 at the listed price, whereas Makita’s 18V equivalent, the XDT16Z Impact Driver, can currently be picked up for $125.00. While its battery life and torque aren’t ideal, the BDCI20C is an affordable option that can handle light work. Overall, the products from Black and Decker do what they say on the tin without harming your bank balance, but don’t expect the premium features and perks as seen in Makita products.
