Black & Decker VPX903X1 Li-Ion VPX Starter Set with Power Screwdriver, Cut Saw, Flashlight, and VPX Battery with Charger Review



Black & Decker VPX903X1 Li-Ion VPX Starter Set with Power Screwdriver, Cut Saw, Flashlight, and VPX Battery with Charger Feature

  • Cordless tool combo kit powered by rechargeable, interchangeable VPX 7-volt Lithium Ion battery packs
  • VPX cut saw with tool-free blade change system
  • VPX power driver with two speeds for driving and drilling
  • VPX flashlight with three long-lasting LEDs
  • Includes a VPX screwdriver, VPX cut saw, VPX LED flashlight, one 7-volt VPX battery, and one VPX battery charger
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 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.
The Cordless VPX Screwdriver
The new VPX1101X cordless screwdriver stays stronger, longer and gets into tight spaces with ease. This compact driver is small enough to fit in the kitchen drawer, but packs plenty of power to take on projects all over the house. This handy model offers two speeds: high speed for assembly and fastening tasks, and low speed for higher torque applications such as small diameter drilling. Easy to grip and comfortably lightweight, the VPX1101X fits conveniently in your palm, and it gets into tight spaces that other power tools can’t reach. You can even use it under counter tops or behind sinks, around corners or between pieces of furniture. The VPX1101X's spindle lock helps to start and finish screws, and it lets you set the screwdriver for manual operation under tricky conditions. This screwdriver comes equipped with a Quick Connect hex-shank collar that quickly, easily accepts hex-shaped screwdriving and drilling accessories. The screwdriver is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery.

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.

Black & Decker LE750 Edge Hog 2-1/4 HP Electric Landscape Edger

Black & Decker LE750 Edge Hog 2-1/4 HP Electric Landscape Edger Review



Black & Decker LE750 Edge Hog 2-1/4 HP Electric Landscape Edger Feature

  • Can help transform your yard and increase curb appeal
  • 11 Amp, 2-1/4 HP motor supplies 150 in./lbs. of torque
  • Three-position blade depth adjustment ensures optimum control
  • Dimensions: 30 x 10 x 12.5 inches (WxHxD); weighs 12.4 pounds; 2-year warranty
  • Comes with one edger blade
Offering 150 in./lbs. of torque and 4,700 RPM of power, this 2-1/4 HP landscape edger from Black & Decker can help transform your yard and add real curb appeal to your home's exterior. Lightweight yet extremely efficient, the LE750 performs multiple tasks, including edging along hard surfaces like driveways and sidewalks; trenching around garden beds, trees, and borders; and helping to install both outdoor lighting and invisible dog fences. Its 11 Amp motor can handle even stubborn overgrown areas, and three-position blade depth adjustment ensures optimum control as you work. To guard against unintended unplugging while you're working, there's a built-in cord retention system. The LE750 conveniently starts with a simple pull of the trigger and for added peace of mind, it also instantly stops when that same trigger is released. You'll get great results with this Black & Decker heavy-duty Edge Hog landscape edger, one of the easiest-to-use pieces of equipment we've come across. You'll be thrilled with how quickly you can get to work, as assembly takes only a few minutes. This is an electric model, so you'll need an extension cord and an electric outlet handy, but you won't have to deal with gas or oil. And it's so quiet you can edge at any time of day--even early Saturday mornings--without worrying about waking up the neighbors.

We found the Edge Hog has plenty of power in its 2-1/4-horsepower motor for both edging and trenching, and it's easy to switch from one to the other by simply raising or lowering the edge guide. The edger weighs only 12 pounds, which allows for easy transportation and great maneuverability around curved paths, but makes it more difficult to maintain a straight line when you're tackling a lawn that hasn't been edged in a while. If you're digging out quite a bit of dirt along with the edge you're creating, it takes some effort to keep the unit stable.

Undoing a screw toward the front of the edger and raising or lowering its leading wheel easily adjusts the depth of the edge groove you're making along with your edge. The unit can also be adjusted to fit the height of the user more comfortably by changing the angle on the guide handle. The blade requires only a pull of the trigger to start instantly and, unlike many gas models, stops as soon as the trigger is released---an important safety feature.
