Rarely have I seen a tool catch me off guard and present something truly "new" or innovative. Black & Decker Gyro has innovation at its core. The question is whether the new gyroscope feature is beneficial or detrimental. One thing is for sure, however, as effective as an attention-grabbing party favor, you'll get more "playing" time than with any other cordless screwdriver.

In order to make their tools more adaptable to the different needs of consumers, Black & Decker has introduced the new MATRIX Quick Connect System tools. While we don't think this will be seen on the job site anytime soon, it's worth keeping an eye on because Black & Decker, Porter-Cable, and DeWalt are closely linked through Stanley Black & Decker.

Best of all, when you buy two Black & Decker tools, you get more Get a third tool for a penny (a Rockwell 4420 (96) Type 2 1/3rd sheet Finishing Sander my dad picked up.) Three heavy duty tools for that price, not bad for the time. Considering two of the three are still running, that's a pretty good deal!
