Product Information

Full details

The Black and Decker 18V Cordless Combi Drill is designed for DIY enthusiasts tackling various drilling and screwdriving tasks around the home. Its key benefit lies in its versatility, offering hammer action for masonry and precise control for different materials, all within a compact and lightweight design. A potential caveat is the 1.5Ah battery capacity, which may require frequent swapping for extended heavy-duty use. This drill features a powerful 2-speed motor, 10-position clutch for accurate torque control, and an LED worklight for improved visibility. It's part of the POWERCONNECT™ range, allowing for interchangeable batteries across other 18V Black+Decker products.

FAQs

What is the maximum torque of this drill?

The maximum torque for the Black and Decker 18V Cordless Combi Drill is 45 Nm.

Can I use batteries from other Black+Decker 18V tools?

Yes, this drill is part of the 18V POWERCONNECT™ range, so batteries from other compatible Black+Decker 18V cordless products can be used.

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

Battery life varies depending on the task intensity. The 1.5Ah batteries are suitable for general DIY tasks. For longer or more demanding jobs, having a second charged battery readily available is recommended.

What is the purpose of the 10-position clutch?

The 10-position clutch allows you to precisely control the torque (rotational force) applied by the drill. This is crucial for screwdriving to prevent over-tightening, stripping screw heads, or damaging the material.

Is this drill suitable for drilling into concrete?

Yes, it features hammer action which is suitable for drilling into lighter masonry and concrete for tasks like mounting shelves or fixtures. For heavy-duty concrete work, a more powerful hammer drill may be required.

How often do I need to charge the battery?

The lithium-ion battery holds over 80% of its charge for up to 90 days when not in use, meaning it's usually ready when you are. However, for critical tasks, it's always best to ensure the battery is fully charged before starting.

What accessories are included?

The kit typically includes the 18V Combi Drill, two 1.5Ah Batteries, a 400mA Charger, and a Kit Box for storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Drill not powering on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the drill. Check that the forward/reverse switch is not stuck in the central (off) position.

Screws are not driving correctly (over or under)

Adjust the clutch setting. Lower numbers provide less torque (for softer materials or smaller screws), higher numbers provide more torque. Ensure you are in the correct speed gear for the task (low speed for driving).

Hammer action not working

Verify that the drill is set to the hammer drill mode. Ensure you are applying sufficient pressure for the hammer mechanism to engage, and that the bit is suitable for masonry.

Battery not charging

Check that the charger is plugged in and the battery is securely connected to the charger. Clean the battery contacts and charger terminals with a dry cloth. Try a different compatible battery if available.

Reduced performance or drill stopping under load

The battery may be low on charge. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check for any obstructions in the drill bit or chuck. The drill may be overheating; allow it to cool down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for drilling wood, metal, plastic, and masonry.
  • Compact and lightweight design for comfortable use and access to tight spots.
  • LED worklight enhances visibility in dark areas.
  • Part of a broader interchangeable battery system (POWERCONNECT™).
  • Always ready to use due to long-lasting battery charge retention.

Cons

  • 1.5Ah batteries may be insufficient for very long or demanding tasks.
  • Maximum torque of 45 Nm might be limiting for heavy-duty professional applications.
  • Hammer action is suitable for basic masonry, not extensive brickwork.
  • Included charger is 400mA, which means longer recharge times for batteries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Charge Battery: Ensure the 1.5Ah lithium-ion battery is fully charged using the provided 400mA charger. The charger typically has an indicator light to show charging status.
  2. Insert Battery: Align the battery pack with the base of the drill handle and slide it in until it securely clips into place.
  3. Select Mode: Choose between drilling, screwdriving, or hammer drilling modes using the selector located above the trigger.
  4. Set Clutch/Gear: Adjust the 10-position clutch ring for screwdriving tasks or select between Speed 1 (low speed, high torque) and Speed 2 (high speed, low torque) using the top gear selector.

Compatibility:

  • This drill is part of the Black+Decker 18V POWERCONNECT™ range. Batteries and chargers from other Black+Decker 18V cordless tools within this system are compatible.
  • Uses standard 1/4" hex shank drill bits and screwdriver bits. Ensure bits are suitable for the material being worked on.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe the drill with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the drill and batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove the battery if storing for an extended period.
  • Battery Maintenance: Lithium-ion batteries do not require deep discharge. Storing them partially charged is acceptable. Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperatures.
