Overview
The LDX120C is another 20V Max cordless drill from Black+Decker, close in size to the LD120VA but built around a smaller 1.5 amp motor. It runs at the same 750 RPM single speed and weighs about 3.15 pounds.
This model sits just below the LD120VA in motor amperage, 1.5 amp versus 2 amp, while sharing the same 20V battery platform and 750 RPM speed. For most light household drilling that difference is unlikely to be noticeable, though it may show up when driving longer screws or drilling into denser material.
- 20V Max battery power source
- 1.5 amp rated motor
- 750 RPM single speed
- 3.15 pound weight
Who it's for
Homeowners after a light, budget-friendly cordless drill for basic tasks like assembling furniture or hanging pictures. Not built for anyone needing higher torque for decking, framing, or masonry.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light at 3.15 pounds for easy handling
- 20V Max battery shared with other Black+Decker tools
- Simple single-speed operation
- 1.5 amp motor is on the lower end for drilling
- No second gear or clutch setting
- Not suited to dense material or long fasteners
Performance notes
The 1.5 amp motor and single 750 RPM speed mean this drill favors light, quick jobs over sustained heavy use. There is no second gear or listed clutch, so control comes down to trigger feel rather than a mechanical torque setting.
