FAQs
What does 'refurbished' mean for this product?
A refurbished product has been previously used, returned, inspected, repaired (if necessary), and restored to full working order. It offers a more affordable option compared to a brand new item.
Can I use batteries from other Black+Decker 18V tools with this kit?
Yes, this kit is part of the POWERCONNECT™ system. Any Black+Decker 18V lithium-ion battery should be compatible.
How long does a 1.5Ah battery typically last?
Runtime varies greatly depending on the task. For light drilling or occasional screwdriving, it may last for a significant period. For continuous heavy use, expect shorter runtimes, making a second battery useful.
What is the difference between the combi drill and the impact driver?
The combi drill is a versatile tool for drilling holes (including with a hammer action for masonry) and light screwdriving using a clutch. The impact driver is specialized for driving screws and bolts efficiently with high torque, delivering rotational impacts.
Is the soft bag durable enough for regular transport?
The soft bag provides basic protection and storage. For frequent or rough transport, consider investing in a more robust hard case or tool bag.
Can the combi drill be used for masonry without the hammer function?
Yes, the combi drill can be used as a standard drill for wood, metal, and plastic when the hammer function is disengaged. The clutch helps control drilling depth and torque.
What is the warranty on a refurbished product?
Warranty information for refurbished items can vary. It's recommended to check the specific seller's policy or the documentation included with your purchase for details on the warranty period and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
Impact driver not driving screws effectively.
Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver bit and that it is fully seated. Verify the direction switch is set correctly (forward/reverse) and that the battery is adequately charged.
Combi drill's hammer function is weak.
Confirm the tool is set to 'hammer drill' mode. Ensure you are applying firm, direct pressure. This function is best for lighter masonry; consider a dedicated SDS hammer for tougher jobs.
Battery not charging.
Check that the charger is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the battery is correctly seated on the charger. Clean the battery and charger contacts.
Overheating during use.
Allow the tool and battery to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Reduce the intensity or duration of continuous use if necessary.
