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 the VPX 7-volt Drill/Driver This new cordless drill/driver from Black & Decker offers quick grab-and-go drilling when you need to get the job done fast. This small, cordless model is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one.
The VPX1201 is a lightweight, compact drill that's ideal for quick jobs around the house. It features two speeds: a high speed for fastening and assembly applications, and a low speed for drilling and higher torque applications. There's also an 8-position clutch that allows you to set the torque for driving applications, a variable-speed trigger for added control, and a metal single-sleeve chuck with knurled pattern to help improve gripping. Best of all, it's powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery that is fully interchangeable with other VPX products.
This drill/driver is a VPX expansion product with the VPX battery and charger sold separately.

great drillNovember 2, 2009 Richard Pierce(Fairhope, AL United States) Great small drill/ driver. Very handy around the house and does a variety of jobs.
vpx toolsSeptember 12, 2009 Stephen S. Connaway(wichita, ks. usa) This is a quality made battery powered tool unlike most of the others I have purchased over the years. The only objectionable thing is the slow speed of operation when using it to drill wood. I can't say enough good things about these vpx tools I personally love them.
Love itAugust 31, 2009 S. L. Casotti(Seattle, WA USA) We like all the B&D VPX products and have the full line. They are great for small projects around the house. It is very unfortunate B&D has dropped the line.
Good for light duty workFebruary 5, 2009 CharleK I love the VPX tools - The batteries last a long time and the tools do the job for light duty work.
Not as advertisedNovember 26, 2008 T. C. Gold(Miami, FL) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I must have a variable speed trigger in purchasing any drill. Although it clearly states in the section titled About The VPX 7 volt Drill/Driver that it has this feature, IT AINT SO.
