Hi everyone! Today is a good day. I get to show you a brand new product from BLACK+DECKER. It’s their new Auto Sense drill. Yep, today I’m talking about power tools.
I have power tools and I know how to use ’em! Well, not really. But I’m learning. I received a whole pile of power tools two Christmases ago and decided it’s high time to learn how to use them. I gotta admit, these loud, saw dust-spewing, blade-spinning tools that are capable of cutting wood (not to mention fingers) are a little intimidating and I have a very healthy respect for them. So I took my time learning how to use them. I watched countless videos and read many a DIY blog, learning and absorbing as much as possible.
Here’s a little sneak peak at my first build project. It is….or it is going to be a long work table/desk in my craft room.
This project calls for a lot of screws. And even though I have quite a few power tools, I was missing one: a drill/driver. Until now I was using my cordless drill as a driver and it really wasn’t working out for me. It was stripping screws or causing me to drill too deep creating mini craters in my walls. Every time Dan would use it, he’d say “you need a driver”. Then as luck would have it, I was asked if I’d like to try out a revolutionary new drill/driver. It’s the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* Lithium Cordless Drill/Driver with AutoSense Technology. Um, YES! And what’s even better than that? They sent me two! One is to give away to one of you!
What makes this drill so special? The unique 20V MAX* Lithium Cordless Drill with AutoSense Technology has an automatic clutch that has proven to be three times more accurate than a mechanical clutch. Homeowners no longer need to experiment with trial and error to set the clutch. You simply set the drill to drive mode, and it will monitor the amount of torque needed to drive the screw.
The 20V MAX* Lithium Cordless Drill with AutoSense has two modes, drill and drive. In drive mode, a microprocessor continuously measures the tool’s performance. As the screw enters the material there is a rapid change in its torque profile. The microprocessor analyzes the rate of change and stops most screws flush with the material within three milliseconds. To countersink screws, the tool provides depth control for micro adjustments. In drill mode, the combined power of the 20V MAX* battery and the drill’s 0-800 RPM motor provide the performance necessary for the quick completion of any homeowner application.
In addition to Autosense technology, the drill features the following:
- Lightweight design (2.6 lbs)
- Simple two button design
- 20V MAX* battery
- LED light and Bit holder
I love how you can choose between the driving and drilling modes with just the push of a button.
Watch this quick, five-second video to see the drill/driver in action and see how it will save time and frustration with a drill/driver that prevents clutching out, over-torqueing, and the damage that comes with it.

How awesome! I would definitely attempt to make my Nana a new bookshelf for her room! 🙂
I’ve never had my own power tool! I would prob start small, like maybe a small shelf if some sort.
I would build some shelving in the kids rooms
Black and Decker rocks the world of tools.
OMG I want this drill! My boyfriend and I are always drilling stuff around our condo!
I have a few small furniture projects in mind and a ton of repair work on our deck!
I use a drill a number of times every week and this summer I’ve been doing a lot of building … that drill blows my current drill out of the water!
I’m not great with power tools, but you just convinced me I need this drill/driver!
We recently bought an older trailer that in the near future needs a new roof and windows. The black and decker auto sense drill would be getting a work out! 🙂
We are moving very soon. It would be so nice to have it to take apart furniture and such.
So many things! Right now I’m drilling holes in tin cans to make lanterns and a new drill would speed the process up.
Neat! I would use the drill to make a new headboard for the guest bed.
I love the auto-sense option! There’s nothing worse than that horrible sound a drill makes when you’ve gone too far! 🙂
I would use it for shelves and a few other craft projects I have on my list. This is super neat!
I have a 6v drill that can’t handle anything crafty I want to do. If I had this beautiful drill, the world would be my oyster. For starters, I’d keep it simple and hang the sound bar my boyfriend got for his TV that we are too worn out to hang after manually screwing gigantic screws into studs for the TV. Whew!
SIGN ME UP!!! I would just love to win this baby. Plus it’s cordless and light weight. I have rheumatoid arthiritus and lightweight tools are a real necessity when doing my DIY STUFF,
I’d give it to my husband
To hang curtain rods, fix furniture, put furniture together. The list could be endless.
We are getting ready to make my new grandbaby a toy box.
I’d LOVE to use this drill to make a headboard for my bed… a surprise for my husband!! 🙂
I recently lost all of my tools from a break in. I would love to get this drill to do any one of a long list of pinterest projects…like a bench! I love that it has a light to see where you are drilling.
We are in the midst of a huge remodel. I could find a thousand things to use it for on that project!
Great prize! I would use the magic drill to build flower shelves for my sunny kitchen window!
My favorite cordless drill is my Black and Decker! Not the same model, and about 10 years old, but the battery lasts forever!!
wow awesome giveaway! thanks much!
Awesome, I want to win this! This kind of drill is so useful for around the house and even for peeling apples. Love it!
We could really use a new drill, looks like a great one!!!
I have a Black and Decker drill and LOVE it!
I would Love to “Win” this Black & Decker Drill……. for My Husband…….He would make real good use of it…….(Mr.Handyman——-My HandyMan)
I’d use this to conquer all the tasks around the house (heavy picture hanging, minor deck additions/repairs, basement drywall work, etc…) that I currently bribe my guy friends to come take care of with a case of beer! Empower my girl power!
I would use the drill as a gift for my husband. He loves tools and tinkering and would adore it!
I love Black and Decker! I had the electric lawnmower that was perfect for my small yard. I would use the drill to “help” my son-in-law add on to the deck.
Building some shelves would be what we would do.
I’d use it to assemble furniture. I always do it by hand and it’s so painful!
I would love to win this beautiful drill, we are going to remodel my kitchen soon it would come in handy!
Oh wow I love this!! I have two projects this would help with so much. I am doing repairs to my deck and the fence that would be so easy done with one of these babies!!! Fingers crossed and this is such a great giveaway
I could use a nice drill like that! Pick me 🙂
I would love to use this to put together a large bench for my kids
Oh the things i could get done and not have to lug around the corded drill and/or use a real screwdriver!! It would be amazing! Just using it for little things ie curtain rods, pictures. and the big things like putting our hand built cabinets together!!!!
Sewing table!
wow looks like a very handy tool I would use it to add some shelves to the grand-baby rooms he has a huge collection of hess trucks from him great pop pop to get on display
i would use it to make my kids a play house.
I would make a pallet flag. Always wanted to do one. Thanks.
My son loves to take tap lessons and has been asking for a space to practice at home since using our hardwood floors is not allowed. I would build him a tap floor using the drill.
I would use the drill for all my wooden craft projects and could finally give my hubby his drill back and we would both be happy!
I would use it for all my craft projects I have going on.
Building bird houses. Making pallet signs and flags.
Drilling holes, etc….
I would use it on all of my furniture pieces!
this would come in handy when I am putting together a new shelf, or bookcase! Would love to own one! Looks to be a good tool! As the one I have now will not hold a charge any longer, 🙁
I MAKE CRAFTS AND THIS DRILL WOULD HELP OUT ALOT
I am a woman with small hands. I just bought a BLACK + DECKER drill for my house hold work. It is not as heavy as my husband’s regular drill but it is very sturdy and I love to work with it.
I think that your site looks really good and this is a helpful post complete with a number of pictures. I haven’t done any DIY or craft work for a while though I’ll look at getting my hands on one of these. My last drill was bought years ago and is not cordless.
This is true! There are a lot of things we can do on our own, even fixings and some repairs. Sometimes it is the small damages that weren’t fixed immediately that causes us a lot of troubles. Anyways, thanks for sharing this. Keep it up!
This is such a wonderful idea. I talked with a few friends and we would love some more info on how to get started. I am part of a attachment parenting group and I think with all of us we could really make a difference. Please email me with some more info. thanks so much.
Perfect masterpieces for any kind of woodcraft 😀
