Black and Decker Tools

Our Range of Black and Decker Tools and Equipment

Our extensive range of Black and Decker products spans everything the modern DIY enthusiast and homeowner needs to maintain their property, tackle home improvement projects, and keep their living spaces clean. As one of the world's most recognised names in home and garden equipment, Black and Decker has built a reputation for making reliable, user-friendly tools that deliver consistent performance without unnecessary complexity. From cordless power tools and garden machinery to innovative cleaning solutions, their product catalogue is designed specifically with the domestic user in mind.

At the heart of our Black and Decker offering is their comprehensive cordless tool system, built around the versatile 18v lithium-ion platform. With drills, combi drills, sanders, saws including jigsaws, circular saws and reciprocating saws all sharing the same battery ecosystem, you can invest in one charging system and expand your tool collection over time. We stock a wide selection of 18v cordless drills, sanders and saws, along with genuine replacement batteries and chargers to keep your tools running. For more demanding applications, Black and Decker also offers a powerful 36v cordless platform which delivers increased performance for heavier-duty tasks, particularly evident in their vacuum cleaner range.

Beyond power tools, our Black and Decker range excels in two key areas: garden maintenance and home cleaning. We carry an impressive selection of grass trimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, lawnmowers and accessories including replacement blades, chains and spool and line. For indoor cleaning, the legendary Dustbuster range features prominently with models spanning multiple voltage options including 3.6v, 7.2v, 10.8v, 12v, 14v and 18v variants, alongside cordless stick vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners. Many of these cleaning appliances also utilise the 18v battery system, whilst higher-performance models run on the 36v platform, creating a unified ecosystem across both DIY tools and household appliances.

About Black and Decker

Founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1910 by S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker, Black and Decker revolutionised the power tool industry and became a household name across the globe. The company's breakthrough came in 1917 when they patented the world's first portable electric drill with a pistol grip and trigger switch - a design so intuitive and practical that it became the template for virtually every handheld power tool that followed. Throughout the 20th century, Black and Decker continued to innovate, contributing technology to NASA's space programmes and pioneering cordless power tool development in the 1960s and 70s.

Today, Black and Decker operates as part of Stanley Black & Decker, one of the world's largest tool manufacturers, and focuses exclusively on the consumer, DIY and home improvement markets. Whilst their professional tool heritage lives on through sister brand DeWalt, Black and Decker has carved out a distinct identity as the go-to choice for homeowners seeking dependable, affordable equipment that doesn't require professional-level complexity or investment.

Why Choose Black and Decker Tools and Equipment?

Black and Decker products represent exceptional value for money, delivering reliable performance at price points accessible to every household budget. The brand's century-long heritage means their engineering team understands exactly what home users need: tools that are intuitive to operate, comfortable to handle, and robust enough for regular domestic use without the premium pricing associated with trade-focused brands. This focus on the DIY market means features are practical rather than complex, making Black and Decker an excellent choice for those who want to get the job done without unnecessary complications.

The interchangeable battery platforms across both power tools and household appliances offer genuine convenience and cost savings. Once you've invested in Black and Decker's 18v system, for example, you can power everything from your combi drill to your stick vacuum cleaner and grass trimmer with the same batteries and charger. This ecosystem approach reduces clutter, saves money on additional charging equipment, and means you're never left with a flat battery when one tool's power pack can substitute for another's. Black and Decker also maintains excellent product support with readily available replacement parts, accessories and consumables like sander pads, saw blades, trimmer line and vacuum filters.

Perfect for Your Job

Black and Decker tools and equipment excel in everyday household and garden maintenance tasks. Their cordless drills and combi drills are ideal for assembling flatpack furniture, hanging shelves, pictures and curtain rails, and general DIY drilling and driving applications throughout the home. The range of sanders - including delta sanders, disc sanders and mouse sanders - makes light work of paint preparation, furniture restoration and achieving smooth finishes on woodwork projects.

In the garden, Black and Decker lawnmowers, grass trimmers and hedge trimmers keep outdoor spaces neat and tidy, whilst their chainsaw range handles pruning, log cutting and tree maintenance. For properties with extensive hedging or large lawns, the telescopic and pole-mounted options provide extended reach without the need for ladders or platforms.

The cleaning range addresses the full spectrum of household requirements. Dustbuster hand vacuums tackle quick clean-ups, car interiors, stairs and upholstery, with specialist pet versions featuring enhanced suction and filtration. Cordless stick vacuum cleaners provide whole-home cleaning capability, whilst steam cleaners and pressure washers handle deeper sanitisation and outdoor cleaning tasks. The variety of voltage options means there's a solution matched to every cleaning challenge, from light-duty 7.2v hand vacuums to powerful 36v models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Black and Decker a good brand?

Yes, Black and Decker is an excellent choice for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners. With over 110 years of power tool innovation behind them, they offer reliable, user-friendly products at accessible price points. Whilst positioned as a consumer rather than professional trade brand, their products deliver dependable performance for regular domestic use and are backed by comprehensive customer support.

Where are Black and Decker tools made?

Black and Decker products are manufactured in various facilities globally, including plants in the USA, UK, Europe, Mexico and Asia, depending on the specific product line. The brand maintains quality control standards across all manufacturing locations and remains headquartered in the United States as part of Stanley Black & Decker.

Are Black and Decker batteries interchangeable between tools?

Yes, within each voltage platform, Black and Decker batteries are interchangeable. Their 18v lithium-ion system is particularly versatile, powering everything from drills and saws to vacuum cleaners and garden tools. The 36v platform similarly shares batteries across compatible tools. However, different voltage systems are not cross-compatible, so an 18v battery cannot power a 36v tool.

What warranty does Black and Decker offer?

Black and Decker typically offers a two-year warranty on their power tools and equipment when purchased from authorised retailers. This covers manufacturing defects and faulty materials, providing peace of mind for home users. Always retain your proof of purchase and register products where possible to ensure full warranty coverage.

Can I use Black and Decker tools for professional work?

Whilst Black and Decker tools are engineered primarily for DIY and domestic applications, they can handle light professional use such as property maintenance work. However, for intensive daily trade use, you may wish to consider their sister brand DeWalt, which is specifically designed for professional tradespeople and offers enhanced durability for demanding site conditions.
