Overview
At 8 volts and 1.3 pounds, the BLACK+DECKER BDCD8C is a light duty cordless drill built for small jobs around the house, from hanging shelves to assembling furniture. Its 400 RPM top speed suits driving screws and drilling small holes rather than heavy demolition work.
This is an entry level cordless drill, not a job site tool. The 8 volt battery and 1.5 amp draw place it well below the contractor grade drills in this category, so buyers should size expectations to light home tasks.
- 8 volt cordless drill
- 400 RPM top speed
- 1.3 pound weight
Who it's for
Renters, apartment dwellers, and anyone who wants a small drill for occasional screws and light drilling will get the most use from it. Anyone drilling into masonry, dense hardwood, or metal should look for a higher voltage tool, since the low amperage here will struggle.
Pros and cons
- Light at 1.3 pounds for easy one-hand use
- Cordless and compact for storage
- Strong review base for its class
- Low voltage and amperage limit it to light duty work
- 400 RPM top speed is slow for hard material
Performance notes
At 8 volts and 1.5 amps, the motor delivers modest torque, and the 400 RPM top speed keeps it geared toward control over raw power. That combination favors driving screws and boring small holes in softwood or drywall rather than heavier drilling.
