Amazon.com Product Description
The VPX1212X is powered by Black & Decker's powerful VPX Battery System. | 
Despite its considerable power, the VPX1212X is small enough to fit easily in your hand, and it stores almost anywhere. | 
This model comes complete with a carrying case that holds the drill and the included 20-piece accessory kit. | Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are. With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools. About the 14-volt VPX cordless drill/driver
The new VPX1212X drill/driver from Black & Decker offers powerful drilling in a convenient, compact design. This rugged tool is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one. High voltage drills are typically heavy and often too bulky for tight spaces, but the VPX1212X has a compact design that gets the job done even in the most cramped working areas. And this drill may be pocket-sized, but don't underestimate it. This model delivers up to 80-percent more torque than Black & Decker's compact 14.4-volt drills, even though it's 15-percent smaller. The VPX1212X offers two speeds: high-speed for fastening and assembly jobs, and low-speed for drilling and higher torque applications. It also features a 24-position clutch that lets you customize your torque settings, a variable-speed trigger for better control, and a metal single sleeve chuck with a knurled pattern to help improve gripping. The VPX1212X is powered by two 7-volt VPX batteries (included) that are interchangeable with other VPX products. It comes complete with a dual port charger and a sleek, form-fitting case -- plus a 20-piece accessory set. Key Technical Specs:
- 14-volt operation with 2 VPX batteries (included)
- 24-position clutch
- Variable speed trigger
- 2-speed transmission
- 20-piece accessory kit included
Applications
Use the VPX1212X to drill large holes between joists, loosen rusty nuts and bolts under sinks, or assemble furniture. This cordless drill/driver is ideal for all drilling jobs, from the lightest quick project to more heavy-duty applications. Warranty
This VPX product is covered by a two-year warranty from Black & Decker. What's in the box:
Black & Decker 14-volt VPX cordless drill/driver, two 7-volt VPX batteries, a dual port charger, 20-piece accessory kit with an assortment of bits and tips, and a carrying case. Black & Decker's Focus on Performance

With the new batterys this drill is ready to go any time you need it.
 Faulty condition; appears used and defective and is inoperable. July 6, 2008

Item delivered in damaged package, charger was broken and inoperative. It would have been returned except for the fact that everything else I've purchased from Amazon has been letter-perfect. I gave it to a friend who has been unable to repair it but who insists he will eventually succeed.

My father-in-law got this drill and at first impression I was a little reluctant. The thing looks like a space age drill/toy. However, after actually using it, I'm buying one for myself. These things have more torque then any DeWalt up to 18v I've used, and this thing is about half the price. It comes with two batteries and a dual charger. Batteries are pretty cheap, and my father-in-law was able to get free batteries from B&D through some mail in thing they have in the box (not sure if that's still available). I also got the starter kit for $60, which I thought was a steal for all you get. Great tools, just hope the grade of plastic doesn't become a problem...it doesn't feel like tool grade plastic, but I could be wrong.
 Great tool June 15, 2008
I'm a 26 year old just out of college and I'm just starting to buy my own powertools for around the home. Compared to my dad's 14.4 cordless B&D drill it works great. It's smaller, looks great, and with a set of firestorm drill bits does everything I need it to. I used it to mount our HD tv to the wall and build shelves in the bedroom. I bought it from Tanger Outlet in Howell, MI for $50

No, I don't work for B&D. My garage is full of Makita and Ryobi, as it happens, but I bought the VPX 1201 (light, single battery, 2 fixed speeds) for my wife's household use because battery charge is a year or more - if she picks it up, it RUNS! We liked it so much that I bought the 1212 (dual battery, higher speed, variable) for myself to replace a Makita with dying NiCD cells that would have cost the price of the 1212 to replace.
I'd recommend both of these to anyone - the 1201 for modest jobs, the 1212 for more serious work. Tons of torque, ample speed, and excellent battery life. I understand the lithium-nanophosphate cells retain virtually 100% charge for more than a year, but obviously haven't tested that. Charge time in the dual charger is faster than it was for NiCD on the Makita. Weight is about the same, and the B&D feels just as solid and durable as any tool in my shop.
The 1212 kit is elegant, but the accessories are typical low-grade bits, etc. Okay for trivial stuff but I replaced them for serious work.
These are fine products - B&D has screwed up a few things, but not this time.
