Milwaukee 2602-22 M18 18-Volt Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill/Driver Kit Review
| |||||||||||||||||||||
 Built with a Milwaukee 4-pole motor, the 2602-22 delivers 550 in-lbs of peak torque. View the entire diagram. |
 |
Ideal for a range of fastening applications, this drill/driver also features Milwaukee's Digital Power Management to prevent overload damage to the tool and battery. An all-metal gear case--the only one in its class--provides durability for heavy-duty jobs.
For optimal bit retention, the 2602-22 comes complete with an all-metal 1/2-inch single-sleeve ratcheting chuck, while its compact, ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue for all-day productivity. In fact, this portable driver/drill measures just 8.5 inches in length and weighs only 4.9 pounds, so it won't overtax your wrists and hands.
 Reliable, long-lasting LITHIUM-ION power is just one part of a full feature set. |
A convenient power gauge on each battery displays remaining runtime, and a second battery is included with the kit, so you never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a task. Plus the M18 LITHIUM-ION battery charger is designed to recharge batteries in one hour or less.
Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than 18-volt NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in keeping Milwaukee's M18 tools ergonomic and comfortable to use. For added versatility, M18 tools also work with even lighter M18 Compact LITHIUM-ION Batteries (not included).
M18 Series Tools: Innovative, Powerful, and Easy to Handle
Launched in 2008, the M18 series from Milwaukee balances power and ergonomics. M18 tools pack the best-in-class, heavy-duty performance that you expect from Milwaukee into lighter, more compact bodies than those of traditional tools. This translates to improved versatility on the jobsite and reduced user fatigue at the end of the workday.

Leave it in your desk, under the kitchen sink, or on your workbench, and this little powerhouse will always be ready when you are.

The tool comes in a convenient zippered nylon case, along with the plug-in charger, and a 20-piece accessory kit (five titanium-coated drill bits, and 15 assorted screw-driving tips). -- Joseph Truini

Black & Decker VPX903X1 Li-Ion VPX Starter Set with Power Screwdriver, Cut Saw, Flashlight, and VPX Battery with Charger Review
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 this Exceptional Starter Kit
If you're interested in Black & Decker's advanced VPX product line, this is an excellent place to start. Begin your collection with this screwdriver, cut saw, flashlight, and battery -- and from there, the sky's the limit.
 The screwdriver's Quick Connect chuck lets you exchange bits and tips without any hassle. |
 The cut saw tears through everything from stray branches, drywall, and even tougher materials like slim metal piping. |
 The flashlight’s integrated bungee cord fastens securely to hold the beam steady. |
Applications
Use the VPX1101X for any around-the-house project, from assembling furniture, hanging pictures, installing blinds and more. It's perfect for all screw-related jobs and light duty drilling applications.
The Cordless VPX Cut Saw
Zip through all kinds of cutting jobs with the new 7-volt VPX cut saw from Black & Decker. Power saws can be intimidating, bulky and noisy; and traditional handsaws can be tiring and inaccurate. Neither saw is versatile enough for everyday cutting around the home, but the VPX1301X combines power and a compact design in a lightweight cordless tool. Truly a grab-and-go item, the cut saw is ideal for quick cuts into baseboard, 1-inch pine, PVC, and more. In fact, the VPX1301X cuts almost anything, anywhere, anytime. The cut saw is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery.
Applications
Take the VPX1301X outside to make short work of pruning, or trim your Christmas tree down to a more manageable size. Use it to cut plastic pipe under the sink or to modify the fiberboard back of your entertainment center so you can run cords out to your surround-sound speakers. This saw even cuts Closetmaid shelving to make that perfect custom fit.
The Cordless VPX Flashlight
The VPX1401 flashlight is designed to fit right in the palm of your hand, and it features three bright LED lights for plenty of illumination in any position. The flashlight’s pivoting head adjusts so you can direct the light wherever you need it most, and its integrated flat surfaces let you rest the light in three different positions. An adjustable bungee cord can be used to twist the light securely around 2-by-4 beams, pipes or tree branches; or use the belt clip to keep the flashlight close and steady while you walk. The VPX1401 is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery.
Applications
Use the VPX1401 LED flashlight when you're working on anything that needs a little extra light to help you finish the job. The adjustable bungee cord makes the light super-versatile for auto work, duct work, plumbing, or any other kind of repair or installation that might occur in a darkened space.
 This 7-volt VPX battery is the cornerstone of the VPX family of products. |
The VPX product line debuts with a broad family of home and workshop tools, including two drills (one 14-volt and one 7-volt model), a 14-volt hand vac; and a 7-volt screwdriver, cut saw, air inflator, power source and a flashlight. Next year and beyond, Black & Decker will be rolling out additional power tools, plus home, kitchen, and cleaning products -- not to mention electronics, technology, and yard-maintenance devices. The VPX system incorporates cutting-edge product style with striking aesthetics and a truly comfortable ergonomic design. And since they're all created to combine the highest in form and function, the VPX products perform as every bit great as they look. Because the VPX battery is interchangeable between the VPX products -- once you dip your toes into the system with a VPX charger and batteries, you can expand your collection to include all the VPX products you need at a real cost savings.
Warranty
All of these VPX products are covered by a 2-year warranty from Black & Decker.
What's in the box:
