They have a little circular saw and a few other attachments you might want to look into for a possible part 2

You should use the multi-tool to build yourself a workbench? Would enjoy a video like that!

[@roberthahn6445]

Definitely would enjoy that

[@boneapptheteeth2039]

[@andrewj9247]

Would be a good video idea

[@dylandepetro4187]

Knowing Tyler. Likelihood is, if he tried building himself a work bench, he would probably be missing a finger or two by end of video. He doesn’t seem all that competent when it comes to power tools. Just look what he did to the oscillating saw blades. You don’t put that much pressure when cutting unless ya want to damage the blade. Pluse, dude tried cutting hardened fasteners with it. Generally there are two types of fasteners out there. Hardened and standard.

[@darlenefraser3022]

Agreed!

[@wvXvxvXvw]

I bought my Matrix June 22, 2017 according to my Amazon account. I've used it heavily, 90% of the time with the impact attachment, and it still works as well as it did when I bought it. I still use it almost daily working on motorcycles. It's easily been the highest performance per dollar tool I've ever bought. I also have the air pump attachment that works in a pinch.

[@wesman6445]

Same here… I purchased mine in 2014.and it's still gets the job done. Got mostly all the attachments but mainly use the drill, impact, saw and inflator. Never used the router. Don't know how to use it either… lol

[@haydenbicky9690]

[@7StrokeRoll]

I'm a woodworker who's heavily invested in Milwaukee M18/M12 tools. I have Milwaukee batteries that were considerably more expensive, for just a single battery, than the B&D kit reviewed in this video. I also have a well-equipped shop and the room to store all of these tools, batteries, chargers, and accessories. This B&D setup isn't going to make me abandon my Milwaukee tools. But, this kit isn't made for me. I think that this would be PERFECT for an apartment-dweller, college kid, retiree, or any other person who doesn't have a lot of space to store tools, doesn't have a lot of money to spend on tools, and/or wants a decent variety of tools so they can tackle the needs a homeowner or renter occasionally encounters. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but I can remember a time in my younger days where this would have been VERY useful to own.

[@twiztedclown]

To be fair there's been actual professional grade drill/impact drivers that have struggled with less material.

[@DiligentDave1966]

In all honesty, they don’t always use the best or newer bits for the material, so tests with new stuff isn’t always an accurate comparison.

[@heffe2001]

I've had a Matrix setup for a LONG time, in it's original Craftsman form (Bolt-On is what they called it). I've got a bunch of the attachments also. The drill chuck WILL end up going bad on you. I'm on my 3rd, but bare in mind that I've had it for probably 8 or 9 years). I find I use the drill and the 4.5" circular saw the most. It's not a perfect setup, but the Craftsman Bolt-on accessories are interchangable with the Matrix stuff, and vice-versa.

[@heffe2001]

It's a 3 3/8" inch trim saw, not 4.5", just a FYI, lol.

[@kenvirag4025]

I've had this system for 4 years now and it still performs perfectly. Also the Craftsman Bolt-On system is the same and there are other attachments as well. I have the mini circular saw which works great too. Perfect for a home owner and is very well built...

[@billyprater8536]

I have had the original Black and Decker Matrix for about 5 years now. I have the drill, impact, reciprocating saw, and the air pump attachments. I love it! It is not for the everyday mechanic but it is perfect for at home use. Obviously the impact isn't for high torque applications but it works excellent in low torque applications. I find it to be a great tool.

[@DiHandley]

I purchased the drill first and then all of the attachments over two years ago. Not as my main “go-to” cordless drill but as a take anywhere kit, and to that end it is brilliant. I use the circular saw attachment all the time for small jobs. I have lots of AEG (Ridgid), Ryobi and Makita tools, but this kit lives in my truck for emergency use and it rocks.

[@ROB_DJOREOYT]

Tyler!!! The reason why the impact driver head smells like grease is because the grease keeps it from over heating, it lubricates the gears inside. It's like that with all impact guns. I'm a mechanic so just some tool advice! Great video though 👌. Also routers are to make nice edges on wood not to cut straight through a piece. Thanks, Robert Aime

[@elwyrick]

I've had this system for a decade or more. Just this morning I used metal cutting blades to chop up a couple of floor lamps to discard. It worked great. I'm surprised that I haven't heard anyone else say this, but I've only looked at a few comments -it would have been a good idea if he had read the instruction manual before doing this video.

[@markbutler4033]

you should test the other attachments!! they have a trim saw, sawzall, air pump, too.

[@shameless4430]

I use the oscillating tool everyday in remodeling. The blades don't last long if you cut metal with them. They are just desposibles when it comes to remodeling we use between 75-300$ worth of blades per job

[@seanofalltrades2644]

Yeah. Craftsman had this year's ago. It was called Craftsman bolton. You can find it in eBay. It had way more different heads. Including a car tire inflator. Tyler, do a comparison video.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

I had 1 & lost it in a move. Bummer. Some lucky person got that bin of goodies. Actually a lot of bins of goodies. 😭

[@gillyarchtop]

I bought this with the extra optional add-on tool accessories - a circular saw and a car tire inflation tool attachment. Everything works but it’s for light duty jobs. Not a ton of power. For a home odd-job fixer upper kinda person it’s a great affordable tool that gets the job done. Not recommended for professional work - not enough power. I never tried a bigger batteries with more amp hours so I don’t know if it could also have more torque power with say a 4 or 5 amp hour battery.

[@happypants19851]

I’m a contractor. I have *all* the tools. I bought an older version of this setup to keep at my mom’s house with a small tool kit so I can do a small unplanned task if she asks while I’m visiting her

[@ChefBoyarDEEZ]

I actually bought one of the drills for use around the house a few years back. It was like $30 for the drill and 2 batteries. I never even got to try it out, both batteries were fuct out the box. They would charge for an hour or so and then die immediately. I took it back and never looked back.

[@ChefBoyarDEEZ]

Good lord thats gone up alot over the past 13 years.

[@tensazero]

The router feature needs full battery charge. Even on specialized cordless tools give better performance on a full charge. I'm impressed the 1.5Ahr put out that much performance. That impact feature is the most impressive.

[@theknifeconnection9571]

To go around a board with a router you need a proper bit with a bearing on the end of it. Or template for your router base to follow

[@SnookFamilyStudios]

I bought this set before it had the oscillating attachment. Still works to this day. Had it for almost 9 years

[@am80ma]

people normally clamp a straight edge as a guide when they want to make a straight cut with the router and it normally takes a few passes to make a groove that deep, trying to do it in one go will ruin whatever you're trying to do.. overall i think this system is good for light duty DIY repairs or builds, definitely not something you would bring to a construction site, so i do agree with your assessment, sometimes i wish i had a certain tool to make some repairs, but i definitely don't want to spend 100-200 JUST for that tool alone... so for me personally, i could see myself buying this kit.

[@Gix3D]

I have my Granddads Old 240v metal body Black n Decker drill, Its older than me (im 52) and still works like the day it left the factory. Its not fast and only carrys a 3/8" chuck. but the powers there. Those things, made to last. I also have a more modern Black n Decker Plastic body. Its nearly dead, The bushes are all worn and the things moves inside itself. lol. Made to be replaced.

[@SpeedKLS]

Still have the old craftsman bolt on system for small jobs around the house

[@J.Wick.]

I had this drill...it's not awful...it's not for a jobsite,. But for around the house or a truck kit, it's not bad. Mine had a reciprocating saw and a tire pump attachment. The pump saved me a couple times! My drill was just the battery and drill. The others I had to buy separate. May have been higher spec. It didn't struggle nearly as bad as this one. Neat idea! Like something from Makita

[@sirsateeb1511]

Wasnt that weed wacker/mower thing b&d also? As I recall you really wanted to hate it. You should check out Mista Gg's video on having manscaped as a sponcer. I hope they are paying you good, you deserve it! Keep up the good work 👏

[@Ando2k10]

Yep, and it uses the same battery as the drill. I have several items from their "set" since they all use the same batteries. The weed wacker was the first I'd bought, then a tool set with a trim saw, jigsaw, light, sander, and drill, then the Matrix drill, leaf blower, and pole saw, then their chain saw. They all came with batteries, so I also have 10 batteries, and rarely ever have to stop working around the house. I wouldn't use them for professional purposes, but they are definitely worth it for a homeowner doing some DIY.

[@wikkedspindl]

I have had the Matrix for years now and really can't complain much. I didn't see what all you had for attachments or what was available, but when it first came out you could also buy the radial saw attachment, the air compressor as well as a few that I see you have. As all small air compressors go, it definitely got hot filling a tire, but it could still get enough in to get you back on the road. It was the only one I wasn't a fan of. The Matrix is absolutely a good introductory tool for beginners. Not for the everyday Joe using it for a job. I say B&D hit a home run with the tool, but went a bit cheap with the tool accessories (the blades, drill bits and such). So it goes back to the "kissing cousins". Sure it was a kiss, but it was with your cousin....

[@silentferret1049]

Yeah the air tool is meant for small tires and it would get hot no matter the brand. Compressing the air is what generates all that heat. Volume of air being compressed is its limiting factor which is to be expected for its size and intended use.

[@skylarhawkins2284]

I also don’t like black and decker most of the time. But their battery powered pools are surprisingly good. I own their stand alone drill, impact and a few other things. I use them with the 2.0 amp hour battery, and have very good success.

[@SpeedKLS]

It was basically the same as the discontinued craftsman bolt on Stanley black & decker own craftsman since about 2016 and a bunch of other companies

[@b-rad2541]

Decent set for average home use. Drill something cut something sand something. Basic set not gonna blow your mind. Considering I paid double that for a impact, you can tell the difference you get what u pay for. It would be a set I’d buy my daughter when she’s old enough and has a home of her own.

[@incenseandiron3828]

I could be wrong, but that silver tab on the multitool attachment looks like a quick release for the blades….. dewalt has the same thing on their multitool and that’s under black and decker so it would make sense IMO

[@RedPandaYosh]

I own the smaller version of the matrix drill, it's not as powerful as my Dewalt but it gets the job done. It's not so cumbersome , so even my wife can use it. The only downside is I can't find its attachments, so this video gives me hope I can.

[@dabmanian_devil]

i have thos setup, w 12 attachments,, and while i wont use it on the job,, its perfect for keeping in the trunk for emergencies, or just as a house tool,,, like I actually gave it to my sister to keep at her house for any lil chores or whatevs she needs to do.. but yeah I 100% agree w you on the B&D being straight trash,(which is odd considering the other tool companies they own lol),, but yeah this is actually a nifty, n somewhat sturdy lil tool for anyone who is just starting out, or tool-naive .. its actually not a bad tool, if they made a brushless version of the drill handle,, then this would be a an actual consideration just for its compact-ness lol. abd by the way you mentioned you liked this idea,, look up Craftsman Bolt-On,, its what this wS based off of, and those attachments work w this one as well if you can find em.. they have aalot of diff attachments to add, from a tire air pump, to metal shears lol

[@AnthonyAntelman]

I have the craftsman version on that setup. The black and decker is 100% interchangeable with my multi tool.

[@TheReasonableGentleman]

I have yet to find a Black & Decker tool outside of the standard drills they make that doesn’t out perform the competition in every way. These tools are designed for homeowners and part-time DIYers. If you want professional tools to do construction work buy Dewalt who are also owned by Black & Decker.

"I don't know what it's called. some sort of oscillating tool." I mean... you win🤣

[@chubbzy24153]

With the jigsaw.. the height from base to trigger isn't giving you the chance to push forward. You're actually putting more downforce into the wood instead of helping to push forward....you should try again but use both hands, one to pull the trigger and one to push forward....also try a harder or more seasoned wood for the router....but really the drill isnt pushing enough rpm compared to actual routers...gets the job done in a pinch

[@Jtower1967]

I just knew Tyler was going to lose a finger when he took the oscillating blade off with that battery on! Glad he didn’t!

[@ryanreichardt518]

That thing performed way better than I expected. I would have bet that big lag bolt would have smoked it.

[@rickyhurtt5568]

You know the drill head is for drilling and impact is supposed to be for running screws. Also low gear works a lot better to run screws. More torque and less speed. You may have had it on low speed. If you did ignore that. Thanks for the video

[@79Jasper042610]

They used to have a circular saw attachment as well. Worked well. Mine was stolen, then they no longer make a replacement. (I had the craftsman version)

[@styxstones2569]

You should make a video of you using that kit to build a better table.

[@Mayor_McCheems]

If it had a stronger motor and instead of the oscillating blade thingy it has a grinder it would be a pretty good tool.

[@warrenfranklin7579]

Brushed is good tech heaps of torque, can't take crazy power but still great stuff.

[@clairebaillargeon2679]

If you had held the sander FLAT it would have worked better. NO jigsaw is made to cut 2x4s. That's what circular saws are for. Considering what you did with all the attachments. It did pretty damn good. I've had B&D tools for 30 years and have used them to remodel 3 homes.

[@susanhopemason]

When you got to the jigsaw, that's what mine did. It would cut very far at all.

[@michaelbranham5854]

Just to be honest, the only thing a jigsaw is useful for is cutting holes in plywood for pipes. And the router would be great for cutting countertop laminate.

[@brianjones1572]

Everything except the router seems pretty decent. Routers are meant to be at a much higher rpm than that drill is capable of and in my opinion one of the more scary tools to use in the shop. 😂

[@hikespike873]

The third attachment you tried out is a vibrator attachment and I hope your using a metal cutting blade

[@RockyBergen]

Tyler, I think it may be time to upgrade your bench. But I WOULD suggest you review it too!

[@MrMartinSchou]

I have this. It's not going to outperform dedicated tools (even from Black & Decker), but it's cheaper and, far more important for me, takes up a lot less space. I'm also a curious guy, so I've taken some of the things apart (like my impact driver) and I was surprised to find almost no plastic in the drive systems. The impact driver does have a good amount of grease in it, as you'd hope for a geared system. I would love to know how it'd fare if you replaced the motor with a brushed one from a Makita or DeWalt.

[@alexdmd]

I built a ridiculously nice deck with one of those drills haha. Talking $12k plus, 365sqft deck. Worked, but wouldn't do it again. Has enough torque. Never used the saw attachment tho. I mean I have, it works, but a good handsaw is still quicker.

[@quintonkoepnick]

[@jonathancook4022]

Black and Decker used to be a great brand in the UK at one time. Their man products were excellent quality drills, workbenches and circular saws and they all lasted for ages. I think they just fell down a trap around the early 2000's of making tools on the cheap in China and within 3-5 years their reputation sunk like a stone!

[@south1961]

[@Lightmaker5]

I see many people make the mistake trying to cut off wood screws. They're almost as hard as your blade. In this case you should use an angle grinder. Don't saw off screws ever! And I don't think it's a good deal. The motor overheats and dies, you lose all your tools at once. You're not impressed with the blade quality? You can expect the whole kit made of that quality.😂 I have many tools, that however use only one battery. That's a good deal. Yea it's more expensive especially brand tools. But I don't have to worry about them. I know they perform as they should. And they do. I say wait longer and get proper tools then start your project.

[@begalbrew5572]

I had a similar tool by them in the early 2000s that converted from drill/sander/saw. It was sh1t!! Real inventive there at B&D's R&D dept. Thanks as always Tyler!

[@tiffanyw3425]

I looked up the directions for the router, it says for outside edges go clockwise and inside go counterclockwise... it said nothing about going straight ( like for a channel ), but I would think he should've pushed instead of pulling. I don't think it would've jumped around so much. Admittedly, it's been a while since I've done anything with a router, but I think it makes sense.

[@NextMRV]

I think the router feature is a little ambitious because for high quality routers have a higher power motors because with routing you need to maintain a high speed for clean and consistent cuts.

[@Akuma_Zero]

[@andrewwelsh9194]

[Start of Video] If this is good and a reasonable price, I might consider picking it up.

[End of Video] I’m pleasantly surprised. I think what Tyler tested would definitely be the upper limits of my uses, so good to know that the tool is capable. I’ll audit my options and usecases and see if something like this would be able to improve my crafting space. Thanks for the useful breakdown!

[@isoufo]

Same concept as the Ridgid Octane series, but I don't think all those attachments came in a set. If Milwaukee came out with something like this I'd probably buy it for a truck tool set. Save on room etc. Overall I was impressed with the B&D though.

I worked both the bolt on and matrix for almost 10 years and they handled it. Almost construction level use can be handled for the impact driver and drill along with the trim saw.

[@green7449]

Man if this was done by Milwaukee with more powerful attachments and higher quality materials it would probably be a best seller. I can’t stand how big my tool box is just because of the space that all the handles take up, plus the handles make repacking into a game of Tetris. I’d be able to put my circular saw into my main tool box instead of needing to just toss it in the back of my car. This system would reduce my tool box to a quarter of its current size and I’d have all the same tools. Plus the weight reduction means I can carry around an additional battery or 2 and be at the same weight.

Seems decent to me. Like you said probably like homeowner for a small project here and there but definitely not an everyday use tool. I am curious if one of the attachments breaks if you can just buy like a “replacement head” or would it be easier just buying a new kit

[@silentferret1049]

Yeah I have used most these like an everyday tool. You can get the individual attachments, they are about 20 to 30 each. Had my set for over 10 years and put them through hell. Cooked a impact driver trying to drill 3/4 inch holes with one of the step impact bits but that was in 1/4 plate and that was after doing 12 other holes like it and hundreds of 1/2 inch holes in the same plate thickness. Thats well outside the use of most impact drivers that's dedicatedly built.

I do agree that the quality of Black and Decker is poor however someone where price is key such as someone just starting out it can be attractive as they are cheaper than most of other brands. When I started out that was what I bought and then upgraded to other brands as money allowed. I will admit I would have loved some of the premium brands at the time so bought what I could afford.
