Reasons to buy

Buyers like how light it is, the included accessories, and that it handles furniture assembly and routine home repairs without fuss.

Reasons to skip

Reports of batteries that won't charge — often tied to third-party sellers — plus limited power for anything beyond light-duty jobs come up repeatedly.

Black+Decker's 20V MAX kit is the drill people buy when the toolbox needs to exist, not impress — and it's worth being clear about both halves of that. TechGearLab's testing found it light and pleasant for hanging artwork and assembling furniture, but badly outmatched by lag screws (it couldn't sink one halfway), and the 1.5Ah battery takes roughly 3.5 hours on the included charger. Buyer reviews add one practical warning: a chunk of the one-star ratings at Walmart trace to batteries that arrived unable to charge, more often via third-party sellers. If your projects live in the picture-hanging and flat-pack universe, the price and included bit set make sense; anyone who builds things should spend up a tier.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the battery take to charge?

Around 3.5 hours for the included 1.5Ah battery on the standard charger, per TechGearLab's testing — plan around it, since the kit ships with a single battery.

Can it handle lag bolts or masonry?

No. Independent testing showed it stalling on lag screws, and it has no hammer function for masonry. It's built for screws, pilot holes and light drilling in wood and drywall.

What's included in the kit?

The drill, a 20V lithium battery, a charger and an accessory bit set (the common bundle is 30 pieces) — confirm the exact piece count on the listing you buy.
