I’ve got to be honest with you guys… the office improvement project has been slow lately. I’ve been doing a bit of travel for work and that’s been cramping my DIY style, but thankfully, that’s done and I’ll be able to get back into high gear. Later this week, I’ll have a nice update post for you.
In the meantime, I’ve got some big news. Today, the folks at BLACK+DECKER are sponsoring a giveaway to one of our lucky readers. One reader will receive a free 20V MAX* Lithium Cordless Drill/Driver with AutoSense Technology.
**This is a sponsored post and giveaway, which means I am being compensated for hosting them. You can read more about my sponsorship policy on my sponsorship page. My bottom line is if the sponsored post or giveaway brings value to our readers and the content is relevant to the DIY and home improvement niche, then it’s a win-win for both me as an author and blog owner and you, my fantastic readers.**
This weekend I was able to use one of these sweet drills around the house for some smaller projects. One of the downsides of working a major home improvement project like our home office is the smaller jobs get neglected. Nothing like a new power tool to help me hunt down some of those minor tasks.
I used the drill to tighten up some hinge fasteners that had come loose on our kitchen cabinets.
I also finally got around to installing another wall hook for our beach chairs. One can never have too many garage hooks.
While I wasn’t asked to write a positive review of this drill, so far I’m really enjoying it. My primary cordless drill, because one is never enough, is a DeWalt. While I love my DeWalt, this BLACK+DECKER drill is profoundly simpler to use. Let me show you some features…
It’s small, lightweight and comfortable to hold. The 20 volts means it’s actually got more juice than my older 18 volt drill.
That’s nice and all, but what makes this drill really unique is its clutch mechanism.
It’s designed to never over-drive a screw into wood since it has Autosense technology, which actually senses the amount of torque the drill is providing and backs off enough on the power to just set the screw at the perfect depth. As a mechanical engineer, that’s some cool stuff.
You can switch between the drill and drive mode by using a simple push button on the top of the drill and it has a battery level indicator light. Guys, it has a battery level light. C’mon. I can’t tell you how many projects I started and then had to stop because I didn’t know my drill battery was dead. Ridiculous.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
