20V MAX* POWERCONNECT 1/4 in. Cordless Impact Driver Kit (BDCI20C)

love this item so much. It works so good for my needs. It is really well built and holds a lot of weight. It is well made and very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone.

I have had several 20v max tools. I have no complaints. They may not be contractor grade but for DIY and typical use they are perfect and affordable.

Works great! Nice addition to my 20v B&D rechargeable tools!

For this price, it actually has a decent amount of power. I was surprised when I first used this at what it could handle. Let me just say this though. If you are a professional contractor that does bigger jobs, you're better off going with a DeWalt impact driver that can handle those types of workloads. If you just do small to medium sized jobs around your house, this will do just fine. The battery life is alright but could be better. Again, this isn't the most powerful high-end driver out there, but it still performs well and is great for the average person.

INITIAL IMPRESSION The chucks on regular drills are poorly suited for driver bits. Even if the bit spins in the chuck just once, damage is done. To prevent wear on my drills and save time, I had to get an impact driver. The Black + Decker BDCI20C 20V MAX Lithium Impact Driver met my needs on paper. It's half the price of the popular contractor brands, but the torque and bpm's is comparable. Low cost off brand high capacity battery replacements are available, which of course provides longer life, and also greater capacity to drive difficult screws as one popular Youtuber found, and provides greater assurance of being able to keep this tool powered for many years to come. The balance with the 1.5Ah battery is at the bottom of the trigger. Even though this tool is capable of variable speed, the manual recommends using full speed to prolong tool life. There is a small LED above the trigger, and a magnet on top of the drill for holding bits. The chuck is about 1 inch deep and is not magnetic, and requires bits with large U slots rather than the kind that has a tiny groove that barely knicks the corners. This will primarily be used on my cars, motorcycle, bikes, around the house and maker creations. I take care of my tools at home and work, so this review won't cover abuses like letting the motor get infiltrated with metal grinding dust, storing the battery at 0% charge for long periods, or trying to use it like an impact wrench. Overall it's a great first impression. I'll provide several updates in the future. Update 1: This has plenty of power, but like any impact driver with a small battery, it fades on long screws due to voltage sag. If this happens, charge the battery back up, or get a larger battery because they're more resistant to voltage sag. On Youtube check out a video by Charlie DIYte titled "Difference between Drill Drivers & Impact Drivers" starting at 9:45. So far I've used mine to replace an oil pan and reinforce some decking with 2 inch screws. It's about to get a lot more use.

Great deal, tested it out and can't beat the price. Good charging system with new battery. Ergonomic correct fit and very durable quality driver. This is my third one and this tool delivers good stable noise free power for both heavy and light duty use. The LED really is a great feature.

I was initially hesitant because several reviews described this impact driver as under powered or failure prone. For that reason I spent the extra $3 for the three year protection plan so I could have it replaced if it failed. I read reviews for several other brands of impact driver including Ryobi, Rigid, Dewalt, etc. All of them had a few bad reviews and most of them were for the same types of things. There was not a higher instance of failure with any of the brands, judging from the reviews. This one is about half the cost of some other brands so I went with it. I have not been disappointed. I've had it for about 2 months and have driven around 300 deck screws 3-1/4" long. As far as I can tell, most of the negative reviews were written by people who thought they were buying an automotive grade electric impact wrench not a carpentry impact driver. Impact wrenches and drivers are not the same thing. This would be fine for light mechanical work on a bicycle, motorcycle, or smaller parts of a car or truck, but if you were using hand tools and you couldn't remove a bolt with a 3/8" ratchet, you probably shouldn't be trying to remove it with this tool either. So far I've framed up two bedrooms, half a bathroom, and a small hallway with this tool. The only time it falters is when the battery is getting weak. I'll be rebuilding stairs and a deck in the spring. If my review is still 5 stars after May of 2019 then it's still going strong.

Nice grip, good for the price.

battery expensive. i hope they can decrease the price

Lo que más me gustó ha sido el resultado que me ofrece el de impacto, prácticamente es útil en cualquier nivel de longitud y dureza que se requiere. La batería tiene una muy buena duración y se siente muy resistente, ademas de que el acabado me parece bueno. No compraría una herramienta de este tipo de mayor costo, ya que comparado con otras, esta me resulta útil para todo lo que requiero, desde trabajos pequeños hasta de mayor importancia, y sobre todo muy económica.

Tested this impact driver yesterday. It worked beautifully. Used it for changing tires on 2 cars. For the price of this driver, you can’t beat it. It came with a 20V, 1.5 AMP battery, good enough for most simple jobs. It may not be a professional quality tool, but for an average person like me, this product is perfect. If you want a longer-lasting battery, you can always buy a B&D 2 packs, 20V, 4.0 AMP batteries from Amazon for a great price. Update about this impact driver. I am amazed by the functionality of this product. It made changing tires a breeze and a pleasure. Totally recommend this product. It made my life a lot easier in doing simple jobs around the house.

昔から、アメリカ製のBLACK + DECKERを使っていたので、20Vのバッテリーがたくさんあったので、日本向けの18V型ではなく、こちらを選びました。 （20Vのバッテリーは18V型にも使えるとか後から聞きましたので失敗） 以前は、ねじり式でビットを固定させていたので、日本の六角ビットも問題なく使えていましたが、新しいモデルになったこのドリルは、引き出して固定する方法になっていて便利になったのですが、ビットを固定する溝の位置が日本のものよりも短いので、日本のビットがしっかり固定できなくなりました。 また、ビットジョイントも、付属のビットはネジの頭にクビの部分がないので、全く使えません。 ちなみに、付属のビットは、日本のドリルでは、ちょっと前後にゆるみはありますが、使えます。 幸い、アメリカ製のビットも持っているので問題はないですが、日本製しか持っていないと、新たに買い足すことになります。 以前のものよりも軽くなったので、操作しやすくなったのと、全面にライトが付いて狙いがつけやすくなり、また、ちょっとした照明替わりにも使えて便利です。 以前のものよりも、インパクトが微妙に弱くなったような（音が小さくなっただけ？）気がしますが、今のところ、問題なく使えているので、よくわかりませんが、性能が良くなってスムーズになったせいとかかもしれません。

La relación calidad precio es excelente. Si buscas algo profesional no es tu opción, pero para trabajos esporádicos o ligeros es muy recomendable. lo he empleado para atornillar y perforar concreto y hasta ahora tiene potencia y eficiencia sobresaliente.
