Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are.

With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VPX battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

The Black & Decker VPX Screwdriver
The new VPX1101X cordless screwdriver from Black & Decker stays stronger, longer and gets into tight spaces with ease. This rugged tool is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one.

This compact driver is small enough to fit in the kitchen drawer, but packs plenty of power to take on projects all over the house. This handy model offers two speeds: high speed for assembly and fastening tasks, and low speed for higher torque applications such as small diameter drilling. Easy to grip and comfortably lightweight, the VPX1101X fits conveniently in your palm, and it gets into cramped quarters that other power tools can’t reach. You can even use it under counter tops or behind sinks, around corners or between pieces of furniture. The VPX1101X also features a spindle lock that helps to start and finish screws, and it lets you set the screwdriver for manual operation under tricky conditions. This screwdriver comes equipped with a Quick Connect hex-shank collar that quickly, easily accepts hex-shaped screwdriving and drilling accessories; and it includes a charger with one VPX battery, plus a sleek form-fitting carrying case with 10 accessories.

• 2-speed transmission: 0-195/0-650 rpm

Great product. Small and very powerful. Holds a charge all day while installing electrical equipment. I made a hook and loop holder for various bits and attached it to the drill so I don't have to stop and find a bit. B&D should include a bit holder to make it truly ideal. Has low speed for driving screws and high speed works well for drilling with small hex shaft bits.

2.0 out of 5 stars nice product, but overpriced, February 1, 2008

PETE (Mechanicsville, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black & Decker VPX1101X Li-Ion VPX 7-volt Screw Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

Im an auto mechanic who recieved this as a christmas gift. I feel for the money it should have a adjustable clutch and a variable speed trigger.The unit is small and compact which makes it nice, and the battery holds a charge for a good time span. If this tool was 20 or 30 dollars a clutch and an adj speed trigger would not be expected, but for 50 or more dollars, these options should be standard. The button to reverse rotation is cheap and often takes a lot of pressure to change over. I also dislike the 5 or 6 hr charge time it takes to charge the battey. The trigger feels cheap, and i fear in a few months will be one of the first things to break. Overall for the money i would not recommend it.I paid like 58 dollars, and feel for a little more money you could get a much better tool from another manufacturer.

update- 2/27/08 i have returned the tool, due to the trigger breaking. The trigger would intermittently not operate the tool, it started to be once and a while then became almost every trigger pull. I returned it and will not purchase another one,it only had under 3 months of use on it

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for household tasks, December 3, 2007

This review is from: Black & Decker VPX1101X Li-Ion VPX 7-volt Screw Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

This product is perfect for common household tasks like drilling holes for hanging pictures and putting together those "some assembly required" items. The product is very light weight with the battery in (only 2.5 lbs) so if you are arthritic or have weak wrists like I do, it is the perfect tool. I am surprised this item is not carried in stores--it would make a terrific gift for the mom's and handywomen out there who need a lighter weight tool than anything I have seen carried at home improvement or hardware stores. It also has a nice carrying case with the bits in a removable velcro pocket. I highly recommend it.
