Overview
BLACK+DECKER's BEHD201 is a corded electric drill drawing 6.5 amps at 120 volts and spinning up to 2800 RPM. It plugs into any standard outlet, so there is no battery to charge or swap out mid job.
Because it runs on a cord rather than a battery pack, power stays constant from the first hole to the last, which matters more over long sessions than for quick touch ups. The listed weight comes in near 1 pound, notably light for a drill in this power class.
- 120 volt corded motor
- 6.5 amp draw
- 2800 RPM top speed
- About 1 pound listed weight
Who it's for
Suits anyone who wants a plug in drill for a workshop or garage where an outlet is always within reach. Less suited to jobsite or outdoor work where cord length becomes the limiting factor.
Pros and cons
- Constant power with no battery to charge
- Simple plug in operation
- Light in the hand at roughly 1 pound
- Cord limits reach and mobility
- No listed chuck size or clutch settings
- Not suited to cordless jobsite use
Performance notes
6.5 amps at 2800 RPM puts this in the range of general purpose drilling in wood and light metal rather than heavy duty masonry or repeated high torque work. Corded operation means the motor does not slow as a battery depletes.
