Black & Decker has taken five popular home workshop tools and put them together into one compact, cordless unit in the Black & Decker 14.4-volt cordless multi-tool kit. The 14.4-volt model offers five interchangeable, locking heads that provide drill/driver, circular saw, jig saw, router and sander/polisher features. While not as powerful or feature-laden as most stand-alones, the multi-tool provides an excellent starting point or addition to a home enthusiast's arsenal. The drill head operates at variable speeds of 0-700 rpm. A 24-position clutch provides up to 115 in./lbs. of torque. And a 3/8-inch keyless chuck makes bit changes easy. The 3-3/8 inch circular saw features a 20-tooth carbide tipped blade and operates at 0-1,100 rpm. A spindle lock allows quick blade changes, while a thin kerf minimizes waste. The jigsaw features Black & Decker's exclusive, tool-free QuickClamp blade change system. A see-through bezel offers a cleaner view of the cut line, while a blade support roller keeps the blade straight for an accurate finish. The router features a 1/4-inch collet and spindle lock. Good visibility, micro-depth adjustments and an operating speed of 0-8,000 rpm make it well-suited for small, high-speed project work. The sander/polisher is also versatile. It reaches into tight spaces, accepts Mouse attachments, and spins at 0-8,000 opm.--Carl Thress

Black & Decker MT1405B-2 14.4-Volt Cordless Multi Tool Reviews
| 31 of 33 people found the following review helpful:  Do you all work for Black and Decker?, By This review is from: Black & Decker MT1405B-2 14.4-Volt Cordless Multi Tool (Tools & Home Improvement) It's a great idea but if you are going to do a day or weekend long project that would require one or more of the attachments, get extra batteries! The only attachments that didn't kill the battery quickly were the drill and maybe the saw wasn't great. The other pieces especially the router and jigsaw drained both batteries noticably in about 15 minutes. I've found the router adequate only for edge and laminate work but way underpowered for anything else. Don't even get me started on the safety start mechanism. You must depress a button on the attachments before the trigger will engage. This is especially maddening and awkward with the router. Save your money and buy the real versions of each tool you really need instead of this poor compromise on all of them. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful:  Solid tool; smart design., By Wayne (Edmonton, Alberta.) - See all my reviews This review is from: Black & Decker MT1405B-2 14.4-Volt Cordless Multi Tool (Tools & Home Improvement) All interchangable heads mounted easily, quickly and securely. Drill: two (variable) speeds; adjustable clutch; nice amount of torque. Router: only mounts 1/4" bits; does a nice job edging shelves; worked surprisingly well. Sander: of limited use, but it worked fine; lots of B+D "Mouse" accessories available. Jig Saw: cuts quickly; buy an assortment of blades (metal, wood, etc). Circular Saw: cuts very quickly with little waste (thin kerf); great for sheets of plywood, mdf board and drywall; only cuts to a depth of one-inch. Overall, this tool is great for the small home workshop. I feel at ease when the kids cut wood for birdhouses using this tool rather than a full-size C-saw or (eeek!) a tablesaw. Comes with two batteries... should be good enough for most projects. Has a quality feel to it. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: Good tool, but the battery staying power is a little limited, By A Customer Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Black & Decker MT1405B-2 14.4-Volt Cordless Multi Tool (Tools & Home Improvement) I liked this tool. The only thing I can suggest to make it better is to get more batteries. They seem to need a recharge rather quickly. With only two batteries, I was killing both before the first one could recharge. I got 3 batteries and a quick charger to be able to keep up with use. Even still, it was not enough battery juice. I'd give 5 stars except for the short battery life when used with attachments other than the drill. |
