For a drill that gets the job done without any extra features that make it heavy and burdensome, the Black+Decker 20V MAX Lithium Drill is what you need!
The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind for us given that we sold and purchased a new home. Since we upgraded and purchased a bigger home, that meant we needed to buy new furniture to help fill some space. And since I have my own office space now, selfishly I decided I wanted to work on my office first.
I knew that I wanted to keep with the black and white theme of the IKEA desk my husband purchased for me last year so we headed out to IKEA to see if we could find other pieces that would match the desk.
If you’ve never been to IKEA, you need to go. The stores are HUGE, the selection is VAST and they even have food!
We happened to find a couple of pretty cool pieces that matched my desk perfectly. One was a 16 square shelf and the other was a four square shelf. Once the room is complete, I will use the squares for different things. Some will be to display pictures, some will be to hold office supplies, some will be used to hold books, etc. I needed something versatile to be able to hold a variety of objects and the square shelves looked perfect.
As I’m sure you know, new furniture means you need power tools. Even some IKEA furniture requires the use of power tools if you’d like to keep the skin on the tips of your fingers. That’s why the Black + Decker 20V MAX Lithium Drill came in handy.
The Black+Decker 20V MAX Lithium drill is much lighter compared to other drills my husband owns. I’m able to hold the drill without strain on my wrist. It’s also smaller making it easier to maneuver in small spaces and the lithium battery holds a charge longer in between uses and has a longer cycle life. The 11 position clutch provides precise control when drilling into wood, plastics and metals and the variable speed control allows countersinking without damaging the material.
You can see by the picture just how small it looks in my husband’s hand. My husband loves how light it is and how he can easily fit the drill in tight spaces. Some other features that he likes is the soft anti-slip grip and the LED light. The LED light provides a steady illumination of the drilling surface which makes it easier to get drilling jobs done with low light.
Overall, we think this is a fine drill that offers the user comfort and manageability. Not only is the drill small in size, it’s small in price too! And I’m sure we could all agree, that in this economy, price means everything.

I get lost in IKEA every time I go, It’s like a huge maze lol. I’m going to be getting a shelf their next month. I’m going to look into getting a Black & Decker drill as it’ll definitely come in handy when putting up our shelf. Thanks for the review!

I need that! My old drill doesn’t hold a charge anymore and this would be so incredibly handy! So fun to get your new house all fixed up, I’m sure! 🙂

I’ve never been to an IKEA! 🙁 We don’t have one in Missouri. That drill looks awesome, I need to look into it for my husband! With the heavy winds we have been having, our back screen door has flown off 3 times and my husband says he needs a new drill, LOL!

Did you know that I have never been to IKEA? Every time I pass it on the freeway, I try to talk my husband into stopping.
One day I am just going to go myself and see what I am missing out on.

I love power tools. LOL My dad has a handyman side business and I always helped him when I was a kid, so I have always been fond of being able to do projects on my own! This drill looks awesome!
