BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX MATRIX Drill, Power Tool Combo Kit, 6-Tool Set, Cordless Tool Set (BDCDMT1206KITC)

The MATRIX is the best investment I've ever made in my power tool collection. As someone who has owned various power drill/drivers and impact drill/drivers over the years, this kit has completely changed the game. What truly sets this combo kit apart is the sheer convenience of having everything easily swappable within a single tool. The MATRIX system is a game changer. No more rummaging through a cluttered toolbox to find the right tool for the job. With this kit, you have it all in one place. I love the case for that. Not sure what to do when I get additional attachments but I'll cross that bridge when it's time. I have to admit that I haven't had the opportunity to test every attachment thoroughly, but so far, I've used the drill/driver, impact, and jigsaw attachments, and they've all been remarkably easy to use and incredibly effective. The drill/driver powers through various tasks, from simple household projects to more complex DIY endeavours, with precision and ease. The impact driver delivers the force needed for those tougher jobs, while the jigsaw attachment has proved to be a reliable addition to my toolkit. The power and performance of the tools in this kit are outstanding. They provide a seamless transition between tasks, thanks to the quick and hassle-free attachment changes. This not only saves time but also enhances overall productivity. Edit: I purchased this on Jul 31, 2023. The main unit only stopped working on January 15, 2025. This doesn't change my rating as I am looking to either get it repaired or replaced. It is a fantastic kit and value for your money.

Very nice set of tools,easy to change the tool you need,feel very comfortable to use recommend

Really pleased with the pricing on very good tool. The size in the case pack fits perfect in my shop and portability is perfect The battery is good and long lasting. The impact driver is strong for big jobs. The accessories provide functionality on projects without the bulk of carrying other tools

So lets get this out of the way, this in no way is a professional grade set, nor does it claim to be. That does not mean that it isnt an excellent support tool/side tool. Not to mention it is about perfect for a handyman that is working around the house. I purchased during prime day for $129 as an "around the house" tool for my mother. I have a makita 18 volt set that i use. It so happened that we ended up putting it right to use replacing the supports for the back awning. Drill: The drill is probably the tool that we will end up using the least, its only around 900 rpm and if you're sinking screws or simply setting fasteners its fine. Again, it will be fine for any around the house drill needs aside from metal or concrete. Edit 1: we have gotten to put a considerable amount of time on the drill now, and i must say, it has impressed me a little more in the past utilization. It can be used to drill through up to 1/8th inch aluminum at least, just take your time and use lubricant. It also sets fasteners just fine even in thicker wood. My initial observation hasnt really changed, but it does get the job done. Impact: was very impressed with the impact, it quickly and efficiently set any screw or bolt we needed in both wood, and 8th inch aluminum. I believe its somewhere in the range of 1300 pounds of torque. It does have some vibration, but far from unbearable Multi-Tool: Disclaimer: though it has an easy to use quick connect, it appears to have some sort of proprietary locking holes. We had bought a few replacement blades from other brands. The locking lugs line up, but the male side on the multi-tool were just too big to lock into place. In addition the vibration is extremely heavy. Those issues aside, it works great and is easier on the battery that i had assumed. (Sander for multi-tool) though small this, sander bit works really well, the pads it comes with are not high quality, but sand effectively. The bit itself holds the paper almost too well. So hopefully that means it is going to hold up over time Router: unused, will update with experience. Update 1: had planned to test this tool this time around as well. However, im sad to report that it is the only tool(literally) that does not come ready to use. No router bits are supplied. With research, i have found that it utilizes a 1/4" shank. It also is dependent on the trigger of the base to operate, so if you hoped to use it on a router table, you will be disappointed. Mouse Sander: holds on to paper very well, but they are also easily removed. Sanding pressure is applied faily evenly across the whole base. Again, included paper is not high quality, but work well enough. This sander does not come with the corner attachment that the stand alone mouse sander does, but it is capable of using it if you were to purchase it separately. Jigsaw: we compared this to the stand alone jigsaw by Black + Decker. The lack of weight makes this one harder to use and make accurate cuts in wood 1" or more. However, take your time and purchase an upgraded blade and you should be more than satisfied with results. This jigsaw does accept both traditional and T- shank blades, so finding an upgraded blade should not be an issue. Overall its an excellent tool for any handyman, we did pick up 2 extra batteries, which brings me to the biggest downfall of this set. Theres only one battery and it takes almost 4 full hours to charge from dead. Which is not cohesive to even moderate projects, will definitely be worth picking up a few extra batteries and/or a fast charger.

Does the job and is handy to have all your power tools at arms reach instead of all over the bench or on the floor in the way if you're working in a confined area. Set is well built and compact. 20v tools are generally strong enough for anything the average person will need to do. The mounting mechanism for the accessory attachments has a strong spring to lock them in/on, so no worries about things coming apart while in use. I like it so well I bought all the other attachments except the air compressor. I have a couple little pumps if need be and don't see myself in a position to need one where I don't have power or a vehicle to use. Neat idea for some, but it won't blow enough air to be useful clearing an area or part. I'm fairly impressed Black & Decker has stepped up with an affordable power-tool kit that seems tough enough for any handyman around the house, or even in your personal vehicle for an occasional after-hours quick call-out on the job. Everything in one box without having to carry your big tool box weighing 50-75 lbs or more. A pretty neat idea for portable power-tools I've come to appreciate. All I can say is "Try it, you might like it"!

I've seen this on a few reviews, but ordered anyway.... I had a similar set I bought a few years ago and it was awesome. Lost everything in fire and was trying to replace set. Battery issue from second 1. First thing I tested as soon as I got it based on some of the reviews. Tried multiple outlets to make sure, but charger just flashes fast red from the get go and no charge what so ever. Returning.

This is my second Black & Decker Matrix drill set. I have been using the Matrix system for more than a year now and love it. So when I needed a second drill for a weekend home, I didn't hesitate to pick up another Matrix set. The system itself works great for DIY projects. The attachments are easily connected and swapped out as needed. The base unit fits well in your hand and is not so heavy that you tire when having to hold it for long periods of time. I like the variety of attachments in this particular set and others, like a trim saw, are available if you want to add to the system. The 20v battery holds a charge for a long time between uses and is easily swapped out if you pick up a spare for longer working times on a project. The Matrix system is especially nice in homes where space is at a premium - you get a wide selection of tools without having to store full size versions of each tool. The case is ok - there is a designated space for each tool carved out of the interior plastic lining and there are separate owners manual for each item. There isn't any room to store additional tools so plan to pick up a tool bag if you like to carry additional items along with your drill. This is an exceptional set for DIYers and a great way to have tools like a router or jigsaw on hand without having to buy and store full size versions of each tool. The Matrix system by Black & Decker is excellent and worth checking out "a la carte" if this particular set does not have the tools that you need.

It's my one stop shop for any project. However I do suggest buying the hammer drill attachment from the craftsman It fits perfectly and is needed for any masonry work. The bottom left pocket where the manuals are and little pads for sandpaper etc is where I stick the hammer drill since it's longer than the black & decker one. I haven't had any issues with the battery running out of power mid job and have used it quite a few times. Also it's physically lighter than the old nicad powered drills from years ago and with the fast charger you can have a fully charged standard sized battery (20V 1.5Ah) fully charged in 45 minutes and its 100% safe to leave the batteries on charge constantly so you're never left with an uncharged battery. Also they don't lose charge fast when unplugged and on the shelf either. (were talkin' years not weeks) You can currently get a 2 pack of batteries on amazon for under 50 bucks. Quite the steal considering how long these batteries last for and how quick they charge with the fast charger. Put these in the search bar on amazon for the different products I've talked about and suggested. 2 pack batteries: B00ONGGI3K 1 battery but 4.0Ah which is double capacity: B00HH4K8N6 Craftsman Bolt-On hammer drill attachment: B00I8NOX6I Fast charger: B010BFHORK Pros: Cost effective solution Size efficiency Long lasting Great battery Easily attach and detach tools Built well Great quality Not unbearably loud Plenty of power for those long jobs but light enough to not kill your arms when working above your chest Cons: 3/8" chuck Original charger is only 400mA but gets the job done
