MEDIA RELEASE

August 2007


Black & Decker’s top five gifts for Father’s Day.

There’s no need to stress about what to get your dad this Father’s Day; Black & Decker have made it easy with five perfect gifts for dad.

“Whether your dad is a keen gardener or fancies doing the odd DIY do-up, Black & Decker will have the tool he needs,” says, Black & Decker Brand Manager, Nigel Owen.


1. Lithium Ion Cordless Drill

Black & Decker’s new Lithium Ion Cordless Drill will bring out the DIY in any dad. The Lithium Ion is lightweight and ergonomically shaped to be very easy to handle. With its long-lasting 14.4 volt lithium Ion battery, you can charge it and leave it aside until you are ready. It won’t lose charge like other batteries making it always ready when you are.

Accompanied by a range of drill bits, this powerful yet compact drill can cope with all types of domestic tasks, from drilling through wood, metal, plastic and plaster, to assembling flat pack furniture kits.

CP14LN-XE Lithium Ion Cordless Drill – RRP $270.00


2. Cordless HandiSaw

The 6 volt Cordless Handisaw has a pistol shaped grip handle for one-handed operation. The Handisaw cuts through wood, metal, plastic and cardboard. It is perfect to pull out when those small jobs arise but has enough grunt to get through

serious DIY applications.

3. Cyclone MultiSander

Sanding no longer has to be a messy job with the Cyclone MultiSander. Dust extraction is handled by ‘cyclonic action’, which collects dust onboard through the base, saving you time and a big clean up job.

With a powerful 170 Watt motor, the Cyclone is five sanders in one giving it the ability to handle all your sanding jobs from large areas, to precision corners. An easy hook and loop paper system teamed with Gel Tech comfort grips will make this tool a favourite in your dad’s collection.

4. SmartSelect

The name SmartSelect says it all. It’s a smart tool, perfect for novice or DIY challenged dads. Black & Decker’s SmartSelect drills right every time because of the handy application dial. Simple, logical icons represent each application on the dial that the user can choose from. The drill will then adjust to the optimal power and speed enabling a more precise finish and fewer mistakes.

A two-speed gearbox with variable speed trigger for high torque screw driving and high speed drilling applications allow for an increased application range, while the high performance motor gives these drills excellent durability.

With spring just around the corner it will not just be the house that needs sprucing up but the garden too. High and hard to reach branches will no longer be a problem with Black & Decker’s Cordless Pole Pruner. The powerful 18 volt Pruner extends up to 4.27 metres cutting out the need for unstable ladders, as you keep your feet firmly on the ground.

With chainsaw cutting performance and 150mm cutting capacity, the Cordless Pole Pruner can tackle jobs manual loppers can’t complete.
