Who Would Buy the Black + Decker 10.8V?
This is a lightweight compact cordless drill that is ideal for jobs around the house such as flat pack furniture assembly, hanging shelves, pictures, curtains or blinds.
It isn't a good choice for any type of masonry drilling as it doesn't have a hammer feature. We would also not recommend this for any type of heavier drilling or driving. This model is designed to help with most simpler jobs around the home, and is not a work horse.
Many buyers like the Black + Decker brand and they do make great drills. This is one with the smallest battery available and that does make it light and easier to use than most cordless drills.

Our Verdict on the Black+ Decker 10.8V Cordless Drill Driver
Overall Rating:
Quality
Durability
Cost
- If you can pick this one up for under £65, then we think it is really good value for money
- Just remember this is a basic drill and designed to do the basic simple jobs around the house
- Don't buy this to do big projects, or to drill in long screws, because it will not work for that.
- This is good for putting up shelves, flat pack furniture building and that type of work
- It is not suitable for drilling walls or masonry
We understand that this drill/driver does not have a lot of features. It has been designed by the manufacturer to be able to do basic work, and remain compact, lightweight and very easy to use. That is what it does.
Some buyers bought this to work on bigger projects like building stud walls, putting up fences or help with making a wooden shed. For that type of work where you will be driving in larger sized screws, you need an 18 Volt drill, with high torque.
One like the Bosch PSB 1800 will be required for work like that. You can click on our link above to look at the top 10 cordless drills page to find drills for that type of work.
Here at Tool Advice we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this Black + Decker 10.8V Cordless Drill Driver, if you want an affordable basic drill/driver.
