Black & Decker Drill Driver GCO1200

The Black & Decker 3/8" (10mm) Cordless Drill Driver, specific model GCO1200, is a 12-volt power tool designed primarily for general household tasks and light DIY projects. This model is well-suited for everyday jobs such as assembling furniture, installing shelving, or performing basic drilling into softer materials. Key features include a 3/8-inch (10mm) keyless chuck for easy bit changes and a 24-position clutch mechanism that provides precision control to prevent over-driving screws or damaging work surfaces. It operates at a maximum speed of 750 RPM, offering sufficient power for its intended use cases. It is an older-generation tool typically powered by NiCd batteries, and the specific configuration mentioned is sold with a battery but explicitly excludes the charger. While reviews often praise its lightweight, manageable design and value for money for occasional use, users generally note it is not powerful enough for heavy-duty professional work or drilling into tough materials like concrete, highlighting mixed opinions regarding the longevity of its older-style battery technology. Overall, it serves as an accessible, entry-level option for casual users and beginners who need a simple, reliable tool for basic home maintenance.
