Father’s Day is just around the corner, so it is time to start shopping for the special men in your life. Black+Decker has a great new drill out that would make a perfect gift and help get all those DIY projects completed around the house.
We used our Black+Decker 20V MAX Lithium drill to help us organize the garage with a DIY sports ball holder. We have had balls rolling all over our garage for years, so it was beyond time to corral them. My husband used some scrap lumber, some screws and 3 bungee cords to make our DIY sports ball holder.
We used the space between our two garage doors to make it easier to put together, plus it is a great way to use that space. For the top you will need 2 1×4 pieces of lumber cut to fit the space between your garage door. Then you will need to cut 2 right triangles for your supports. Screw these into on of the 1×4 pieces and screw into the wall. Drill 3 holes evenly spaced across this 1/4 that will fit your bungee cord hooks. You can choose the length of bungee cord that you would like to have. It will make the space longer or shorter depending on your needs.
The other 1×4 will be your base for the above platform. You will need a piece of plywood cut to fit your space between the doors and then cut into a similar shape like above. Screw this platform to the 1/4 and then screw it into the wall.
With your lightweight Black+Decker drill drill 3 holes like above for your bungee hooks. 1 right in the middle and then one in the middle of each angle.
Now hook on your bungee cords and add your sports balls and start organizing your garage. The new Black+Decker drill was so easy to use to help us with this project. It was lightweight, yet powerful. It also has a super handy place to hold the screw bit which was really handy.
That ball holder is genius. I would love to win this for ny husband. NY favorite feature is the Led light on the drills! Awesome for seeing and drilling in tight spaces with little light hitting it.
My favorite feature is the 11 position clutch which helps prevent stripping screws or damaging material. Thanks for the chance 🙂

I love that it is light weight and compact and easy to use and that it’s keyless chuck
I like the The keyless chuck allows for easy bit changes
I like that it has an 11 position clutch helps prevent stripping screws or damaging material.
I love that it has a led light! Far too often I’ve need a flashlight and a drill, which is difficult to juggle both.
Led lights! That would be handy.
I like that is a 20V and has long lasting lithium batteries powering it. It is also nice the batteries are interchangeable with other 20V products in their line so you can move the battery from one tool to another as needed
My favorite features of the new Black+Decker drills are “The compact design” and “Lightweight at 2.5 lbs”.
ccntx at live dot com i like the led light i mean it tight spaces with no light this is a must and now it is i love that feature and i like the The keyless chuck allows for easy bit changes

I like the LED light that illuminates the project surface. Sounds great!
I love the compact design! these are nice!
I love that it’s light weight and fits in tight spaces.. (we’re running out of room here lol).
I like that the drill is light weight and compact in size to fit in tighter areas. I also like that it comes with a two year warranty.
Like the look.
The LED light is a very u8nique feature. Most applications wouldn’t really need the light, but there are times when pinpointing the bit is difficult because your own shadow blocks out all of the light on the project. I think that is the one feature that I would use most, and often wonder how I lived without it.
I like that it is powerful (20V), yet lightweight (2.5lb). sundance(dot)survey(at)gmail(dot)com
The led light is one of my favorite features. I love that you wouldn’t have to rely on someone else to hold a flashlight so you could see what you were doing.
Wow, what a great idea and product! I am about to start a total overhaul of our garage. These products would help me so I wouldn’t have to use a hammer and my old hand saw to put up beadboard! The light feature would be so helpful in the dark corners, too.
Thank you for such a great blog and this opportunity.
favorite feature is that it has a keyless chuck that allows for easy bit changes
Oh wow! First drill I’ve ever seen that includes an LED light to shine on your project so you can actually see what you’re doing!! That’s brilliant and I wonder why no one ever thought of that before. Leave it to Black & Decker to be innovative. 🙂
I love that it is lighter then the previous models which makes it great for getting into more minute spaces. Its great that it has a keyless chuck because when in tight spaces working, stopping to mess with a keyed change is really a pain. The LED light will be especially helpful in these small spots as well. It doesn’t hurt that it has the various clutches to elminate strippage of screws because in tight places sometimes you can’ actually see how close you are to having it all the way tightened.
I like that both drills have an LED light to shine on your work.
the led light is my fave feature because thats not super common
favorite features : comes with its own LED light and that it is cordless

my email was used to leave this comment 🙂
my favorite feature – I like the compact design of the 20V Max, there’s times when it’s hard to use a standard size drill on projects due to small spaces.
Oh that is such a great idea! I so need to do that! Just yesterday I was backing out the van…and out rolled a basketball! Had to chase it down the street. LOL. I think my favorite feature is that it has the 11 position clutch that helps prevent stripping screws! Oh I hate it when that happens. Can be so frustrating.
I’m always stripping screws, so the 11 position clutch to help prevent that would be awesome!
i really like that this drill An 11 position clutch helps prevent stripping screws!!
Love the led lights.
I love that they’re both lightweight.
I love how this drill is only 2.5lbs, and comes with a charger. There are a lot of drills that sometimes don’t come with the charging piece. This would be so useful around our home and would open the door for many DIY projects!

I love that it is light weight and the light helps to find the correct spot to fit the driver heads, and the extra tip holder is an added bonus for when you are switching between a flat head and a Philips head.
I love the light! Often I am trying to do diy projects in our dark garage and this would be fab. I also love that it’s so lightweight so my arm won’t get so tired.
Seriously love the LED light. I don’t have anything with that feature
Love the higher torque! That’s awesome!
My favorite feature is that it is cordless and compact making it easy for even me to use.
My two favorite features are the 11 position clutch and the mid-handle design. I like the mid-handle design because it helps make the drill more comfortable to use. I like the 11 position clutch on this drill because it prevents stripping screws,
I like the LED light illuminates the project surface.
I like that it has an LED light – so handy when you are working in a dimly lit area.

i like that it’s small and lighter than most. As a petite small framed women i tend to find power tools a little intimidating.

This drill looks like something i could handle easily. thanks for the chance!
I love that it is lightweight.

I have a blacken decker drill now and my only complaint is how heavy and awkward it is for me to use. I love that this one is lighter and more compact. The balanced feel sounds nice too because mine is bottom heavy due to the battery.

That you can use it with less fatigue!
First I love that “The compact design, 35% smaller than the GC1801 Drill/Driver” so it is small and does not take so much space. I also love that it is lightweight at 2.5 pounds so I am not weightlifting. Last I love that you are having a giveaway for it! 🙂
First – I love your project! With two boys we could use that simple idea at our house. I’m going to give it a try.
Now – There are two features that I really like. The first is the lithium battery. I love cordless drills but other batteries run down too fast. The second is the keyless chuck. I like that it is easy to trade out bits.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I know I am not the first person to say this – but it’s the LED light! I can’t tell you the number of times we could have used a drill (or any other tool for that matter!) with an LED light! Why is the broken stuff always in an impossible to see place?
Love everything about this! Putting on my to do list, perfect for all my son’s balls!!

I love the lighter weight, easier for me to use it along with my husband and the light to help see what you do in those tight places! Black and Decker has the best products and are continually making tweaks that help the DIY person. I love their products. We are remodeling and need one of these badly.
I love that it’s 30% smaller than the GC1801 and that it’s lightweight. My dad has a standard size drill and I have a hard time using it because it’s too heavy and bulky for me.

I have a few favorite features! I love how lightweight and compact the drill is and that LED light looks super bright and handy.
Great drill. I built the project shown in the pictures. The drill worked great. In fact, I just completed more projects this past weekend with it. Great power.
The drill is still working. It’s my go to drill. I have a more powerful drill that is not cordless but I rarely need to worry with using it. This drill takes care of most of what I need.
