BLACK+DECKER RT18KA-IN 180W CORDED Electric Rotary Tool with 114 pc Accessory Kit Box, 0-38000 RPM, Ideal for Grinding, Polishing, Engraving & Carving

Ordered Black+Decker Die Grinder RT18KA after extensively reviewing all other brands available online. Glad to have select this model . Soft grip , tough built and smooth whirring of the machine gives an awesome feel . The brand is strong in power hand tools and deservers a premium price . Expect this to be a long term investment. Some attachments missing but that doesn't impact the performance of the machine. Highly recommend the item.

Writing this review after a year of usage (bought on 19-Mar-2024), Good: Quality does feel good to hold in hands, has a nice heft to it.. and the provided additional bits & accessories do give some starting ideas for beginners who are going to use this tool (It did help me). The rubber grip is good. Bad: Finding 3mm (1/8") bits is hard, any product I brought in that size either are of bad quality or very expensive such that the bits alone would cost 1/3rd of this product's price (3.5k when I bought, quality bits are 1.2k). I couldn't even find them locally, no hardware stores sell 3mm bits here.. (Even the 1/4" 6mm is a rare find) Ugly: The heating problem, any motor would create heat but a good design would dissipate the heat properly, this does not do that.. typically at higher RPMs it gets hot and becomes uncomfortable to hold (I mentioned that the rubber grip is good, still with sweaty hands due to heat, it becomes a slipper risk).

The drill machine itself, despite being cheap, does not feel like it will fall apart in my hand. I have repeatedly used it until it overheated, used it at bad angles, yet it has not broken. Good product Cons: However, the different bits and heads that come with the box are a completely different deal. I think they add those cheap bits simply to compete with other alternatives at this price range. Good bits are not cheap, and a full set can cost as much as the drill machine itself. It is well worth the price, because cheap bits can break easily, injuring you and the product you are working on. I strongly recommend buying better bits if you want to actually use this product.

Bought this instead of ingco just for the higher RPM, Hanging stand and brand. But in higher RPM it sounds differently. on paper ingco weights more than this. After this purchase i am thinking could have went for ingco 100watts

A really nice compact tool for working on smaller and miniature projects. I purchased to work on small wood and metal based projects. Had searched the local market for similar but all suggested go from online. The other brands did not have a good review and pricing also not significantly different. Moreover, this comes with a 180W motor, meaning good torque and speed. Comes with a nice handy stand attachment, which I feel is a major plus point, as you would just need to play around with the cable and not hold the tool. Will use it my projects and update if required The only con part is the packaging of the delivery - there was no Amazon packing, but just a label on the real panel of it ( took it off before I took the pic). However it had a seal and the contents internally were intact thankfully Comes with a nice box, meaning you can store back everything compactly all in one place Bought Homdum routing bits and my first experience at routing ... its a great tool ... but like with all power tools ... wear safety gear and proceed ...

It was working well in the beginning. But after sometime the accessories get stuck in the machine and you would be unable to remove them. The speed knob does not work any more, making dangerous random changes in speed. Even though under warranty the response from Black and Decker is pathetic. They tried to fix it one, but the problem came back. I have written many times, but no reply.. A lot to my work has been pending for over a month now. What a shame.. I will update this post if I hear from the customer care.. UPDATE 20/12: The first time I sent it for repair (a few months back) at their authorized service centre, I informed Black & Decker technician that one of the problems was that the speed adjustment knob need repair, he brushed that away and did not bother and said no issue was there. When they sent it back the speed problem persisted and the churn would change speed suddenly while I am using it. Now, the machine is still under warranty. I have sent to their service centre exactly one month ago (Last Oct 2023). The claim that the machine problem is not under warranty. Calling and emailing countless times, with very little effective response. Now they’re are searching for a spare. I called the 1800 Black and Decker customer care to get solution form the company, they simply answer, say we will help and just give you their dealer number. THAT IS ALL. Only sharing number. No one cares their for customers. I truly trusted this brand and was willing to purchase more stuff, but their after service is so pathetic that I seriously worry I will be wasting money on this company and endanger myself. My machine is not working for the longest time. And still waiting for updates about the repair and the time they would actually sent my machine back. Truly disappointing… Their emails and phone number are useless. Just for show. The Brand name is diluted. I wish the company take a stance and be more attentive and caring towards its customers. I hope the company take necessary actions to solve my problem and the problem of many other customers. *to Be updated*

Yes, really good product no doubt. Why I recommend 4 star, the sailors isn't very carefull about packing the product during shipment, I received damaged box, both corner, ( damaged, means not broken but majeure defects occurred) another very vital, one diamond burr bit is missing inside, but all the way , die drill and accessories is good enough for do any curving or sculptures. Decent colour, steady comfort design, in this price range this is really good quality die drill for everyone. I like this product, and requesting to the sailors please do check before delivery, all relevant matter. Need to deliver prompt product.

Had a drill bit break after a few runs. The motor is great, the quality of accessories is subpar

Articolo ben fatto, per quanto riguarda lo spedizioniere DHL pessimo.
