Designed to handle all kinds of "around-the-house" jobs with ease, this cordless drill kit from Black & Decker is powerful, yet lightweight enough to easily handle and hold. The CDC180AK is part of Black & Decker's line of compact cordless drills boasting an efficient design that's 17 percent smaller--and supplies 10 percent more torque (up to 122 in./lbs.)--than older models. Powered by a 18-volt battery (included along with one charger) this efficient tool offers variable speed (from zero to 650 RPM) for optimum precision and control, as well as a six-position clutch to stop screws from slipping. Bit changes are a snap thanks to the keyless chuck, and it's equally simple to remove the spring-loaded battery for charging. And soft, comfortable grips help reduce user fatigue. Great for drilling holes through wood, metal and plastic, as well as screwdriving into wood, metal and plastic, the CDC180AK comes with an assortment of 30 accessories so you can get the job done right the first time. This is a mighty little drill that's more than up to whatever test you put it to. We like it particularly for its awesome compact size and for the fact that size doesn't mean sacrificing power. It's got all the strength and torque you need for just about anything you need to do around the house, the yard and the garage, whether it's drilling or driving tasks.

The variable speed is a great feature, and you'll find you're making good use of it every time you use this drill, for slow, controlled starts as well as the speed you need for drilling, with a range of 0 to 650 rpm. The clutch has six settings, so you always get the torque you need for the job, up to 127 inch-pounds.

One of the things we liked most about this drill is the fact that it's smaller and lighter than previous models, and so better suited for smaller hands, especially women's. But one thing we've found on some female-friendly drills is that sometimes, the battery puts up too good a fight if you can't grip all the way around it. No worries here: The 18-volt battery is spring-loaded for easy ins and outs. B&D gets a big woohoo from us for that.

The chuck is keyless, and that means fast and easy bit changes – something you'll do a a lot of, because this drill comes packaged with 30 accessories, so you can tackle just about any task right out of the box. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
