Black & Decker's new VPX Lithium Ion System
Written by Jude Herr Monday, 12 November 2007 02:00
Black & Decker just introduced their new VPX Lithium Ion System. This 7volt Lithium Ion Battery system encompasses more than just power tools. Black & Decker has included electronic and household products into their VPX Lithium Ion line such as a battery, dustbuster, inflator, and power supply for camping, the car, etc.
The power tools featured in the line include a screwdriver, cutsaw and drill/driver, all powered by a 7v Lithium Ion VPX Battery. The nice feature of the system is that one battery can be interchanged with all the products in the Black & Decker VPX Lithium Ion line. The downside is that it is only a 7volt system so you won't get a ton of torque out of the power tools. The VPX cutsaw is more like a jigsaw than a sawzall, features a tool free blade change and accepts standard jigsaw blades. The 2VPX Drill/Driver uses 2-7v batteries to torque it up to a 14v tool and features a metal single sleeve keyless chuck (3/8") with improved gripping areas.
For the homeowner, the Black & Decker VPX Lithium Ion System is a well thought out product line. We look forward to seeing what products they will add.

VPX STARTER SET TOOL CASE I PURCHASED A BLACK & DECKER VPX STARTER SET AND WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE TOOLS. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE I COULD FIND WAS THAT THEY DID NOT COME WITH A PRMANENT CARRYING CASE. WELL I DID SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AND DESIGNED A VERSATILE CASE THAT HOLDS THE STARTER SET AND MUCH MORE. CHECK OUT MY PLANS FOR THE CASE AT MY WEB SITE WWW.PLUGINTOMYPLANS.COM |

VPX If anyone else needs some of these, Home Depot is already closing them out- which in my mind does not say much for the tools. |
