A closer look at Innovation - Black and Decker, India

We do not claim lightly that innovation is a big part of our commitment to our customers. Here’s a quick look at some of our appliances and how we have thought about many small features that make the tool more approachable and easier to use:

Corded drills: The pistol grip and trigger switch are features that were a part of the drill right from the first design that was patented in 1916. Many more features have been added now to make it even easier to use such as reversing of motion, variable speeds, a keyless chuck and a well-balanced handle with a softer grip.

Cordless Screwdrivers: Our cordless screwdrivers come with an easy torque selection and magnetic holders to hold on to the screws without dropping them. The pivoting handles, long lasting batteries and built in lighting that makes it easier to use in low light are other thoughtful features of the product.

Saws: The saws from Black & Decker now have improved accuracy features along with long lasting durability. Some models are now super portable as well, compared to the earlier models – but do keep in mind that these were still the cutting edge technology of their time.

Outdoor products: We brought out the world’s first outdoor cordless product in our Cordless Hedge Trimmer, and continue to innovate in the field ever since. Our gardening tools are still among the best fuss free and low maintenance models available in the market.

Vacuum cleaners: Our vacuum cleaners incorporate the most ergonomic designs and flexible parts for ease of use. One of our favourites is the Orbit that incorporates cutting edge looks along with a wealth of design features such as easy emptying of contents, compact design and a 360 degree charging base.

Steam Cleaners: One of our most recent innovations, the steam mop uses the Smart Select technology, and with just the power of water and steam, can wipe your surfaces 99% bacteria free. The new steambuster attachment allows you to clean on higher surfaces like your stovetop and inside your ovens too.

Woodworking tools from Black & Decker

Once you gain a little experience in the DIY arena, carpentry or woodworking is one of the most rewarding activities to indulge in. It can help you create a piece of long-lasting furniture that you can proudly display in your living space. At Black & Decker, we provide you a range of woodworking tools ideal for the amateur as well as for professional users. Here’s an overview:

Saws: If the word saw brings an image of a jagged edge metallic implement to your mind, then you will be delighted to see the advanced tools offered by us. These can help you cut through not just wood, but steel and masonry too. You can choose between circular saws and different models of jigsaw based on your need. In case of doubt, our store personnel will be happy to help you match your requirements.

Planers: Planers help to remove the surface level material that helps when you need to ease doors and windows that have expanded with the change in seasons. Another use would be removing surface coatings or even smoothing uneven surfaces. Choose the model based on the depth of cut you need, and the power delivered.

Router: These tools are very useful for making grooves in wood, such as those needed in decorative shelves or for simple carving patterns. With the stable design that can be stood up both ways, we would not be surprised if you mistake the B&D Router for a small robot.

Sander: The Sander is used at the end of the project to provide finishing touches such as sanding, varnishing or removing rust. Our sander model is very lightweight and easy to use, with the palm grip design making it ideal for single-handed use. It can also operate at a high speed to get your job done faster.

Woodworking DIY Tips for Beginners - Black & Decker, India

This interesting article puts across the fact that woodworking DIY may indeed be approachable to women too, and one big reason is that easy-to-handle tools are now available so much more easily. Black & Decker offers a range of power tools to assist you with DIY Carpentry jobs around your home. Let us also go through a quick orientation on the basics that we need to ensure before embarking on such a project:

Do your research: Woodworking does not involve just taking wood and tools and going for it. It is also important that we understand the project we are starting, from the type of wood to use to the finish that we want for it. Plywood is usually one of the easiest to work with for beginners, though older and antique kinds of wood also have a lot of charm.

Don’t overreach: When it’s just the first or second time we are going to try something, it’s best to take up smaller projects first, such as a stool or a simple table. Chairs can come next, and basic cabinets, but that bed or dressing table with drawers had better wait a little longer. Similarly, you can go for one of the easier finishes such as sanding and polishing, that can always be redone at a later stage if you feel more confident.

Think about your space: Both in terms of your workspace, as well as where you are going to put the finished product, plan it out well. The workspace could be a garage area in which case you can afford to leave the pieces lying around, but if it’s a part of your living space then it must come with enough storage to put tools and pieces away every day.

Remember to clean up: While a workshop may not need intensive cleaning, floors of the living space definitely need a complete clean up every day as wood chips or slivers lying around can be tough to handle for younger children or crawling babies.

We hope these tips make the project more approachable for you and we would love to hear more about what you are starting work on. Do check out our website for details of our woodworking and other tools:
