[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-10 Summary: Black & Decker no longer makes these 7 volt VPX tools ... This tool set has excellent power for a 7 volt system. Tools are small, light weight cousins of full size, high voltage portable tools. If you are use to a "clutched" drill/screwdriver, the clutchless drill/driver can take you by surprise when a screw reaches it's depth, or a drill bit suddenly stops turning. Defiantly a 2 handed operation if you want save your wrists. It has very, very good power. I drove several 3-1/2" screws fully into 2 x 4's without any problem at all. The chuck is a quick release 1/4" hex. The ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-11 Summary: Cordless power screwdriver ... This product does the job it was purchased for, well. It fits nicely in the hand, is lightweight, well made and fairly priced. With the dual speeds, it doubles as a drill for smaller jobs, which comes in handy, and the reverse option is an added plus! After an overnight charge it seems to hold its power. A little more torque would be nice, but isn't that always the case! And, once again, Amazon.com made this a very smooth transaction. Would definitely recommend.Black & Decker PD600 Pivot Plus 6-Volt Nicad Cordless ...more

Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Amazon.com | We can't think of anything we'd want to add to this little hummer. It's incredible what B&D has engineered into this system (we don't think it's fair to call it a "screwdriver"). Dual speed range lets you drill holes at high speed and drive screws at the slower speed. A 23-position clutch, just like what's on the big boys, will keep you from stripping your screws. But get this: Unlike conventional cordless screwdrivers and regular power drills, this tool's handle easily locks in three positions...more

This being my first multi-tool, i would have to say: solid feel and strength, multiple purposes on every singe tool that is attached, and the finish...tough, batman sort of deal, haha. I was about to go with Benchmade, since they supply products to law enforcement in this country, but did a lot of research about SOG, thus comparing the two would be confusing, due to them being in different catagories of products for different types of consumers. Im sure, there are people out there who have a multitude of experience ...more

Pros: Flat bottom for accurate scribing to smooth surfaces, Retractable metal point for rough/irregular materials. Adjustment knobs are solid, no slop. Built-in pencil sharpener is very clever and incredibly handy. Cons: Too big/clunky, won't fit into the utility knife-sized slots in most tool belts. The flat bottom is nice but it is so wide that it makes the tool needlessly bulky and inaccurate on semi-rough ...more
