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.

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.

I have had a Max kit with 3 tools for many years. The trigger was worn so I bought this new version with 6 attachments.Now I can remove a few tools from my RVMy neighbor saw it and got one too for his boat

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 unbearableMulti-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 timeRouter: 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.
