It comes with 4 hex-shank bits - a medium philips, medium flathead, 3/16 and 1/16 drill bits, which should be fine for most jobs. While there is plenty of torque for drilling, there is no torque range adjustment, so you'll have to be careful not to overtighten screws. For that purpose, it has an intuitive manual spindle lock that clicks firmly into place, allowing you to use it like a regular screwdriver.The bit holder shaft has a convenient quick connect sleeve. You simply pull back on the sleeve insert or remove the bit. The bits have a groove at the end to keep them in the shaft when you work, solving the common problem that I always run into previous power screwdrivers and drills, where for various reasons, the bit gets stuck in the hole or screw when I pull away. The handle has cartridge style battery pack. Also included with the drill/driver are 4 AA batteries, 20 screws, and 20 plastic inserts (for dryway)--...Read more 16 of 19 people found the following review helpful: A nice compact screw driver with some flaws, By This review is from: Black & Decker AD600 6-Volt Alkaline 1/4-Inch Hex Cordless Drill/Driver with Accessory Assortment (Tools & Home Improvement) With Lithium Ion models now available in all price ranges, this model is now really dated. Maybe still a good value, if you find it for under ten buckss at discount store beginning with "W". Handy for driving screws. Fits in your pocket while climbing a ladder. Fits in a small tool-box. Good for low-clearance uses (6 or 6-3/4 inches from driver tip to heel). Wimpy, but enough torque for medium duty. Sinks drywall screws without pre-drilling. At 130 rpm, it's painfully slow for drilling. It's much slower and wimpier than 35 dollar or 95 dollar Li-Ion models. Buy this only as a screw driver - if you already own a cordless drill. Nice feel, ergonomic handle. Forward & reverse triggers are handier than a separate F/R switch. The owners manual says to use only alkaline batteries (4-AA), but I find that rechargeables (2100 mAh NiMH) work great, last a long, time, and...Read more 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Not a toy, By dallas7 (Phoenix AZ USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Black & Decker AD600 6-Volt Alkaline 1/4-Inch Hex Cordless Drill/Driver with Accessory Assortment (Tools & Home Improvement) The product description clearly states, "for smaller jobs that don't require huge, heavy power tools" yet some reviewers don't read the details or packaging or have trouble distinguishing this product from heavier and larger purpose-built corded or cordless power tools. Anyone thinking this less than twenty dollar AA battery powered tool could compare with the likes of Dewalt or Milwaukee pro tools perhaps shouldn't be using tools at all.
Upon removing the drill from its packaging, I entered the man cave and drove a couple of 2" screws into a pine 2x4 and drilled several holes into a piece of hardwood. No sweat. This will do as well, and better, than the dozen or so small, household class cordless screwdrivers I've owned over the decades. My motivation for selecting this cordless tool is its use of regular old alkaline AA cells; as far as I can tell, B&D is the only manufacturer on the planet doing that. Every one of my rechargeable screwdrivers have gone...Read more |
