OK, first of all... Y DID BLACK AND DECKER DISCONTINUE THIS ITEM?!?!?!?
I... I just can't understand it... the only conclusion I can come to, is this:
"This product is so amazing that they feared people would never purchase any other of their items"
I'm serious! this product is just so all around perfect! Ample power, sturdy construction, and well, I have to say it... They Look So COOL! I'm in the process of making an island for my kitchen and I have to say, these tools are doing the job!
I can't wait to buy more of the VPX line :) -- Simply Amazing...
drill bits holder lost traction with motor only after 2 weeks of use. Better spend some more and save in the long run -- drill bits holder lost traction with motor only after 2 weeks of use
Two big problems with this product line. The system isn't variable speed and when you release the trigger the tool continues to operate. Don't buy to try since the restock fee and shipping run about half the cost of the product. -- Great Idea, terrible in design.
Ideal for my basic diy projects. The Vpx system could be withdrawn so please do check with the manufacturer if concerned with that. Great battery power. Perfect for the small jobs where pro equiptment is just not worth the investment. -- Great for the basic diy projects
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 charger charges quickly and you can power extra chargers off the upsteam one without needing separate 120 volt outlets. These portable power tools should always be sold with 2 batteries, at a minimium. This set had one battery.
The light is handy and light weight. It should hold it's battery power for use in emergencies a long time being LiIon, like cell phone batteries.
I bought the set mainly for the cut saw. It worked well for trimming small branches on my trees.
I had the cut saw lock up on me while using it to cut sheet metal and had it sent to a B & D repair facility. I was told several weeks later that they had no repair parts to fix it, nor do they have a replacement units, since they don't build them any more. I received a generous(based on the price I paid for the kit) refund from B & D for the cut saw. I was so satisfied with the refund and the tools that I took the refund and used it to buy another 7 volt VPX starter set. I'll just use the cut saw for light duty work, like tree branches.
I do think Amazon should have indicated on the tool's description page that this is a B & D closeout tool set and that it is no longer made, or serviced under the 2 year warranty. -- Black & Decker no longer makes these 7 volt VPX tools
