One of the best in it's class !
This tool is, for the money, one of the best values around. Don't go to Home Depot and buy a Ryobi 12 volt. This tool has 10 more inch/pounds of torque, 100 more rpm's of speed, and it's actually made by Black and Decker. The Ryobi's are made by Techtronic, which is obviously NOT Ryobi of Japan. Not knocking Ryobi of Japan, of course. Those are DIFFERENT tools altogether...

Poor battery charging design
Regardless of what specs the drill has, what it doesn't say in the description is that you have to plug the recharging plug directly into the drill handle to charge the battery. Therefore, there is no way to have a second battery charging while you continue to use the drill since there is no separate charging station. Omitting this from the description is not enough to...

This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)

Not knocking Ryobi of Japan, of course. Those are DIFFERENT tools altogether. The closest real competitor would be a craftsman, which is more expensive, and barring Craftsman Professional, no more product for the money. Feels solid and backed by a great home use warranty of two years. MUST HAVE !!!

Good for home use, July 8, 2009
This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)
This is a very good drill/driver for occasional home use. The driver function is very good, I expected a little more from the drill, which is a little slow considering the power of this machine, and if you are going to use this drill for long periods, you will find it a little bit heavy. But overall, it works great for occasional use. Also, considering it is cordless, makes both for drill and drive, comes with all the accessories you will need for occasional use (drill and drive bits) and it comes with a carrying bag... put all this into account and you have a great value for you money.

Works Well, March 2, 2009
This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)
I used this drill a few days ago to bore holes for a handsome piece of black locust root that I was mounting as a found sculpture on a mahogany base. It worked well both in drilling the mahogany and the locust, and in driving screws using the excellent fully adjustable torque which is one of the features of this drill.
It comes in a handsome carrying case with a handle and an assortment of drill and screw bits. It was relatively inexpensive. A good buy and a good tool.

decent power, moderate cost, not bad for general use . . ., February 11, 2010
This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)
If you are looking for an economical general use cordless drill, you might want to check out his model. It is powered by a 12 volt battery, and develops decent torque (rated at 105 inch/pounds) for light to moderate tasks. This drill is probably not suited for heavy commercial construction applications, as it does not reach high speeds, or develop high torque, and the battery life is probably not long enough to last you through a full day of heavy duty use.
For the casual user however, the drill may meet your needs. The frame is on the smaller side, and it is relatively lightweight. It is simple to use, as the motor operates in forward or reverse, controlled by a switch in the handle. With the proper bit, it can handle materials like plastics, wood, CMU, and some metals.
The torque is adjustable to six different levels. At the maximum setting, (using a masonry bit), the drill is supposed to be able to handle concrete walls. When you intend to drill through dense material, keep in mind that the bits are locked down by hand tightening the chuck (there is no key), so if the chuck is not tight enough, it may free spin if your bit gets stuck.
The battery needs to be attached to the drill to be charged. Power is plugged into a jack on the back of the handle. A double sided screwdriver bit, is attached to a clip on the drill body. The drill comes with a no frills nylon carrying case, and a few assorted bits. For light tasks, this lightweight tool could be a good option, but repeating again, this drill is not designed for high speed, or heavy torque applications. If you intend to do mostly heavy duty tasks, you would be better off buying a more powerful unit, that operates at higher voltage.

Fantastic!, September 12, 2009
This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)
Colorful drill works great! Just what every guy needs for the occasional home repair. Comes with basic accessories. Charges quickly and holds the charge for quite a while. Highly recommended.

Poor battery charging design, November 26, 2008
This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)
Regardless of what specs the drill has, what it doesn't say in the description is that you have to plug the recharging plug directly into the drill handle to charge the battery. Therefore, there is no way to have a second battery charging while you continue to use the drill since there is no separate charging station. Omitting this from the description is not enough to avoid responsibility for the obvious disadvantage of this drill. The package says that the battery is easily removable which implies it can be swapped for a fully charged battery. There are no pictures that show the hole in the back of the handle that the charger has to plug into. A truly stupid system. They should forget about the extras they include and just make a charging station for it like most other 12 volt drills.

It drills and screws and unscrews, April 2, 2009
This review is from: Black & Decker CDC120ASB 12-Volt Compact Drill with 20 Accessories (Tools & Hardware)
It does what it says it will do.. Not a heavy duty tool, but not priced as one either. It comes with the same accessories that every other drill comes with. These do however seem to stand up better then others. The battery dies a bit to soon for my tastes, but still good for it's size. If you use a drill everyday or once a week, this might not be the best choice.
