Amazon.com Review
If your work requires you to drill or drive in a lot of tight or awkward places (under sinks, overhead, inside cabinets, between pipes, etc.), this Black & Decker five-position drill/driver may be the perfect tool for you. The drill features a compact design and swiveling head that rotates 90 degrees front and back of center, with 45-degree stops along the way. A straightaway, inline stop even provides added reach for tight spaces in which a standard power drill might not fit. Lightweight and nimble, this Black & Decker drill is extremely maneuverable, as well. A comfort-grip handle and three-finger trigger provide excellent control, while a 24-position clutch and variable speeds of 0 to 700 rpm allow the drill to power through wood, steel, or masonry without damaging bits or stripping screws along the way. --Carl Thress
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for drilling holes and driving screws in wood, metal, and plastic, this 1/4-inch hex cordless drill/driver from Black & Decker features an innovative five-position swiveling head that gets into even the hardest to reach areas. Offering a three-finger trigger for a secure hold as you work, the XD1200K gives you quick and easy access to tight corners, under sinks, around pipes, and in other close quarters. Its first position is that of a standard drill; the second puts you at a 45 degree angle; third is straight-up or in-line; fourth is a backwards 45-degree angle; fifth is a right angle position. Beyond its versatility, the XD1200K boasts a fast and easy seven-bit changing system, a pull and release collar for effortless accessory changes, and a 24-position clutch for optimum control when driving. A 1/4-inch keyless chuck and spring-loaded NiCad batteries that slide in and out make for a user-friendly design, so you can get more done in less time. This handy drill comes with six drill bits, four screwdriving bits, five nut drivers, keyless chuck, one 12-volt battery, charger, and storage case.

 If you don't have one you should. October 7, 2009

This is my second drill/driver kit. Every household should have one of these Black and Decker drills. The 5 positions come in really handy for tight places. They are durable and have more power then you would think for a 12 volt battery. I really appreciate mine and always have it close at hand when I do any project around my home. Try it you'll like it.

 Black Hard Plastic CASE? August 21, 2009

This product is great. Be warned: I DID NOT receive the pictured and DESCRIBED hard plastic case with handle. My drill came packed with a cloth 'duffle' bag. VERY awkward and absolutely unsafe to hold the included drill bits.

Handy tool to have around the house July 29, 2009

This Black & Decker is one of my most useful Amazon purchases in years. It's handsome, compact, and useful for around the house and garden. I use it mainly for light drilling, electronics, and household repair tasks. I've used it to drill holes in plastic and ceramic flower pots, and recently put together a 2x4basics AnySize Chair or Bench, Green, 09210 with it. It's powerful enough to drive a screw clean through solid pine with no effort.
Pros:
-----
- solid build quality and excellent manufacturing standards
- long-lasting battery pack. I charged it months ago and it's still going on the same charge
- perfectly balanced in right-angle mode (upside-down L shape) and easy to hold
- powerful motor; suitable for everything I've needed it for around the house and backyard
- handy, protective hard plastic carrying case that keeps all parts and accessories neatly organized
- carrying case has compartment for keeping all drill bits in one place
- chuck is secure and easy to change out (push in the "nose" and hold, with other hand, remove the bit)
- can use drill bits and attachments from my other screwdriver/tool sets because the hole is standard
Cons:
----
- Not sure how long charge time is. I left it plugged in for 8+ hours and the light was still red.
- very bottom heavy because of battery pack. If you set it to vertical mode, the center of gravity changes to below the grip handle, making it very awkward to hold. Because of this, I never angle it past the 2nd position.
- head should be narrower and longer. If you need to reach a lot of tight spots, this unit may not be your best choice. I had trouble assembling my bench because of the angles.
Overall, a very sturdy and solid feeling product. It's attractive and useful, but consider the battery weight, neck size and shape before buying. I like this product a lot, despite the caveats.

Can't add much to what's already been said about this fabulous little drill, but I'm a clueless middle aged female, and this little drill is a piece of cake to use. I grab it two or three times a week for one task or another. The articulating head --which I didn't think I needed -- has been a godsend. So far it is holding up well and holding a charge nicely. Lightweight and easy to hold. I honestly don't know how I lived without it.
