This 6-volt cordless drill/driver is ready to take on any around-the-house task with quick, efficient ease. It’s perfect for smaller jobs that don’t require huge, heavy power tools but do require real power. This small but mighty hand-held model is the go-to device for hanging blinds, pictures, or curtain rods — and it makes assembling furniture and shelving a quick, painless procedure.
The AD600 is designed for heavy-duty performance with minimum fuss. It uses four ordinary AA batteries to give you plenty of project power, and it’s loaded with all the right features to get you started and keep you going from start to finish, whether you’re setting up bookshelves or just swapping out drawer knobs. The forward/reverse rocker switch makes it easy to move between screwdriving and screw removal, and the spindle lock holds the bit in place for manual use, in case you require extra precision. The AD600 even has the Quick Connect bit change system for fast drilling and driving and less downtime between projects.
This 6-volt drill/driver produces up to 130 rpm, and 40 in./lbs. of torque. It includes four AA batteries, plus an accessory set that expands its versatility. The accessory set includes 20 anchors and screws, two hex shank screwdriver bits, and two hex shank drill bits. — Cherie Priest

This is a sad little toy. I was tempted by the price, and then had a good laugh, at my own expense, when I put the batteries in. It may still be a good value, though… as a paperweight.

I bought this because I have the other B&D cordless screwdriver that takes AA batteries and really liked it. But it is in-line, so I couldn’t get into tight spaces with it. I thought this would be of similar quality. I was wrong. It is more expensive but feels like and performs like a cheap plastic toy. Don’t even think about using it as a drill or to torque screws down with any significant force. Spend a little more money and get a quality tool.

I ordered the drill on Feb 13, Feb 17th the money was withdrawn from my account. Three weeks later on the day the company had to deliver the drill, I received an email informing me I was being refunded. No apology or reason. I will never order from this company again.

The product description clearly states, “for smaller jobs that don’t require huge, heavy power tools” yet some reviewers don’t read the details or packaging or have trouble distinguishing this product from heavier and larger purpose-built corded or cordless power tools. Anyone thinking this less than twenty dollar AA battery powered tool could compare with the likes of Dewalt or Milwaukee pro tools perhaps shouldn’t be using tools at all.
Upon removing the drill from its packaging, I entered the man cave and drove a couple of 2″ screws into a pine 2×4 and drilled several holes into a piece of hardwood. No sweat. This will do as well, and better, than the dozen or so small, household class cordless screwdrivers I’ve owned over the decades.
My motivation for selecting this cordless tool is its use of regular old alkaline AA cells; as far as I can tell, B&D is the only manufacturer on the planet doing that. Every one of my rechargeable screwdrivers have gone bad simply because I needed them just every now and then. They died because I did or didn’t leave them constantly plugged in, either of which will waste rechargeable batteries over a long period of time. Or the chargers burned out. To add insult to injury, the cost of replacement batteries and chargers exceeded the price of a whole new screwdriver.
It’s most likely that in five or six years when I pick up this tool and press a button, it’ll work. If not, I’ll throw in some new AA batteries. Thank you Black and Decker.

this is one nifty little tool! i bought it at target for around 14 bucks, and it’s worth every penny to me.
now people, this is definitely NOT a heavy duty drill, so don’t go expecting it to do jobs that are meant for a drill. i mainly use it for guitar repair and modification.
