Black & Decker FSD962K 9.6-Volt Firestorm Cordless Drill

by Black & Decker

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The high-powered 9.6-volt drill from Black and Decker offers faster drilling with a new Quick Connect Bit Change system, electronic level, Infinite Clutch, and more torque than the competition. The patented Quick Connect Bit Change System, exclusive to the FireStorm drill line, speeds up drilling by allowing you to drill holes and drive screws without changing a single accessory. The System features a removable 3/8-inch keyless chuck that accepts both round and hex shank bits. The chuck is quickly and effortlessly removed to expose a screwdriving bit. The removable chuck is especially useful when making a pilot hole (pilot bit in the removable chuck) and then driving the screw (remove chuck to expose screwdriver bit) in a repetitive manner. The internal screwdriving bit holder features a pull and release collar that secures screwdriving bits or quickly adds 1/4-inch hex shank drill bits. To help with straight and level drilling, the FireStorm drills have an electronic level built into the end of the drill. When the drill is in a level position the LED display lights up. Another new and exclusive feature is the Infinite clutch, which offers a spectrum of clutch settings selected by visual reference guide of screw size. The FireStorm battery has been redesigned with a "spring-loaded" pack, which springs forward like a cassette with the push of a button, and then easily slides off. The FSD962K includes the drill, battery, charger, #2 Phillips bit, 1/8-inch hex shank drill bit, and rugged storage case.

1.0 out of 5 stars nice design but no power, December 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Black & Decker FSD962K 9.6-Volt Firestorm Cordless Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

This tool looks good. It has a nice feel and does not run hot which I liked a lot. But the tool is so under powered and it bogs down even in light duty applications. Why not include some power in this tool??

I wish there was a review of this item available before i bought it. The power behind this tool is extremely lacking to the point that there were some screws that were too much for it to drive but even my 10 year old daughter could screw in with a regular screwdriver. A serious waste of money.
