Editorial Reviews:

Tired of that battery-powered drill being dead when you need it most? Here’s an alternative. Surprisingly powerful and stunningly lightweight, Black & Decker’s SC1400 18-Volt Cordless drill kit features the best energy-to-weight ratio and longest-lasting charge available. A very forgiving power drill for those who hate cords but forget to recharge, this tool is powered by a lithium-ion battery that holds a charge up to 18 months longer than nickel-cadmium tools.

A state-of-charge indicator tells you how much battery power is left so you know when it’s time for a recharge. And, a fixed, internal battery lets you just drop the whole tool into the included charging base, rather than detaching the battery from the tool and then attaching it to the charger, a procedure that sometimes takes longer than just drilling the darn hole.

And, for even less downtime, the tool’s single sleeve all-metal chuck means easier and faster bit swaps. Designed for tough drilling and driving applications, the tool packs 200 percent more power than traditional 18-volt drills. It’s also 40 percent smaller and 30 percent lighter for easier handling, even in tight quarters. The purchase is covered by a manufacturer 2-year warranty. --Brian Olson

User Comments about the Black & Decker SC1400 14.4-Volt Cordless Super Compact Drill with Lithium-Ion Technology

I purchased this drill on sale for $75 in spring of '09 and it has been great so far. That said, the listed price of $129 is more than I would pay for this type of drill but if you can get it on sale like I did it's a great lightweight drill. Holds a charge well and is plenty powerful for my projects.



I thought the drill was great when I bought it last winter. I had to mail it in for warranty (which cost me another $10) It was light weight and the battery lasted a long time. But, I tried to drive a couple of screws into my deck this spring and the drill kept jumping out of gear.



Barely enough power to drill a small hole in soft wood. I gave it to my daughter because I'm sure she can't hurt anything with it. Don't even think about trying to drive a screw with this drill.



I am very pleased with this drill driver. I especially like the feature that allows one to see whether or not the battery is charged. It is relatively light weight and yet fairly powerful.



No other complaints. I like it and is a step above the old versapak screwdriver that I still use and have. With a two year warranty, I think that is fine. Also a push thru button if you want the drill to go reverse direction. There is also on top of the drill a power indicator which you can push and see how much power is left in your drill via 3 green lights. I also purchased it at Loews after reading the previous reviewers tip.


The only drawback on this drill is that it does not have a replaceable battery, but with Lithum ion battery I don't expect it to fail anytime soon like NiCad. It has two speed settings which is easy to set. So far so good. I like the power and is perfect for home owner usage. Yes, $40. The weight is not bad, feels balanced and the charging stand is pretty decent for sitting the drill in.


So for me, its a great combination. You also get drill bits and screw bits (slot and philips) that you can stand up on a slot on the charger in the back.
