Black & Decker Firestorm Cordless Drill/Driver FS1800D-2

Date Published: 6/24/08

Durable, versatile, and packed with a solid amount of power, the Black & Decker Firestorm Cordless Drill/Driver FS1800D-2 combines several impressive features into a less-than-$100 package. The professional-grade, 18-volt motor provides enough torque to handle everything from soft wood to hard concrete. And it's adjustable, so you can really pour on the power when the situation dictates.

The niftiest feature is the Fast Drive removable chuck, which lets you pop off the chuck nose and drill bit in a single movement to reveal a screwdriver bit underneath. This simple feature makes it a breeze to switch back and forth between drilling and screwing applications without having to take the time to swap bits.

The Firestorm FS1800D-2 cordless drill/driver comes with two batteries -- which are interchangeable with other Firestorm cordless tools -- and a charger, so you can always have a charged battery handy. The drill is a little heavier than other similar models, but the design is comfortable enough to keep a good grip for long periods of time.


Pros: Removable chuck nose, professional-grade motor
Cons: A little heavy

Warranty
2 years
