Summary

A budget 20V MAX drill/driver kit for light household jobs, with a 24-position clutch, a 1.5 Ah battery, a charger and a 30-piece bit set in the box. The catch is power: the platform tops out at 750 RPM, and Consumer Reports calls it slow and less powerful, so it suits small screws and light drilling rather than heavy work.

Strengths

  • A complete first kit: drill, 1.5 Ah battery, charger and 30 bits in one box.
  • Compact and light at 4.0 lb, with a 3/8 in keyless chuck and a 24-position clutch.
  • This Old House named the 24-position, 750 RPM model its Best Medium-Duty pick for 2026.
  • BobVila named the platform its Best Bang for the Buck after hands-on testing.

Weaknesses

  • Consumer Reports rates the platform slow and less powerful, limiting it to smaller screws and drills.
  • Torque fades when you push hard, per BobVila’s hands-on testing.
  • Charging takes 225 minutes on the official LD120VA page.
  • An iFixit thread documents packs the charger rejects as “bad battery”.
  • “20V MAX” is a peak figure; the pack is nominally 18 V.
  • No LED work light is confirmed for the LD120VA listing.

What the 20V MAX name means

“20V MAX” is the maximum initial voltage measured without a load. The manufacturer itself states the nominal voltage is 18 V, so this is an 18 V platform in practice. A Reddit owner puts it bluntly: it peaks at 20V but sustains 18V. That does not make it a bad tool, but do not read the number as a step above an 18 V drill from another brand.

Charging and the battery fault

Charge time for the LD120VA is 225 minutes on the official page, though other Black+Decker charger generations vary widely. The pack is claimed to hold a charge for up to 18 months on the shelf. One documented fault is the charger rejecting a drained pack as a “bad battery”: an iFixit thread describes reviving such packs by manually boosting their voltage so the LCS20 will recognise them again. It is an owner workaround, not an official procedure.

Which model this is

This page covers the LD120VA, a 24-position clutch, 0-750 RPM, 3/8 in drill with a 1.5 Ah battery and 30 bits, listed under GTIN 00885911266949. The Amazon listing used to identify it is ASIN B006V6YAPI. Do not confuse it with the newer LDX120C or BDCDD120C variants: those pages describe an 11-position clutch, 650 RPM and a lighter body.

Is it worth it?

At $49.00 direct from BLACK+DECKER, or the $49.49 Walmart listing, it is strong value for a first household drill. Above about $70 the case collapses; a satisfied owner called anything near $70 a rip-off, and a spare 2.0 Ah POWERCONNECT battery costs $64.99 from the manufacturer. Buy it for furniture assembly, drywall and light repairs, and verify the model code so you get the 24-clutch kit rather than a newer variant.
