Black & Decker VP2000K Cordless Quattro and Carry Case

It is easy to think - I’ll save a bit of money and buy a Drill that is one of the stores own makes, but then you may well notice that when it comes to the “home brands and name brands” you only get what you pay for. Black and Decker are a very well known make of tools. People know that their tools are quality made and are made to last. The other brands may be cheaper but are they made to the same standard and of the same high quality? My partner and I went out shopping for a Drill and a Jigsaw, we went to B&Q first but we didn’t think that there was much choice so then we had a look in the Argos book. We saw that there was a ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these when I first moved into my new flat - thinking that i'd save money getting all four tools in one handy package. I should have known better. The only thing this is useful for now is as an electric screwdriver - and at 90 pounds a bit of an expensive one at that. The jigsaw is hopeless - and lasts about 2 minutes on a full charge, the sander is also pretty useless and expensive to keep running and the sandpaper costs a fortune (luckily though the batteries usually run out before the sandpaper) and the drill has no umphhhh... In retrospect it would have been much better to fork out and buy proper tools. You pay more for a brand ...  Read the complete review

The Black and Decker Quattro is a great idea. You get a sander, jigsaw, screwdriver and drill all in one. It is cordless and comes a very smart looking carry case. I bought my husband one of these because he can never do all those little jobs around the house because "he hasnt got the right tools"! It is very easy to use. The seperate tool parts just click on and off the front and the batteries just click in the bottom. It feels quite heavy so I am sure that it is built to last. The main problem with this tool though is the fact that you cant use it for very long before the fully charged batteries go dead. It can handle drilling a few ...  Read the complete review

My husband likes to small diy jobs around the house so when the black and decker quatro came on the market we thought great drill, screwdriver, sander and jigsaw all in one and its cordless all for £90. So we bought one unfortunatly!! My husbands first job he wantedto do was to cut out 3 1.5ft by 1.5ft doors for the cabinet on our aquarium, he started with the two fully charged batteries (they take 6hrs to fully charge) after using the jigsaw attachment for on 2 minutes and only half of one door cut out the batteries were dead! I could not believe it! At the ideal home show at earls court there was a Black and Decker stand so my husband approach somebody who was ...  Read the complete review

I have just invested in Black and Deckers cordless Quattro, and I have got to say its great! Not only do you get Black and Deckers usual high standard of tool making, but you get four tools in one for your money. You get a drill, screwdriver, sander and jigsaw all for the normal price of one product. I can find but one fault with this tool and that is that although it is good at carrying out small projects, the larger projects tend to require larger tools. I would recommend this multi-tool to anyone who does a moderate amount of DIY, but for serious professionals it may be better to buy individual power tools. ...  Read the complete review
