Drill that Stops When Screws Are Flush Wins Popular Science Award

Nov 17, 2014

The Black+Decker 20V Max Lithium Cordless Drill with Autosense received the Best of What’s New 2014 Grand Award from the publication Popular Science.

The drill’s Autosense technology was a hit with contest judges. It allows the drill to know when to stop screws that are flush with the work surface. Judges chose the drill from among thousands of new products as one of the top 100 tech innovations of the year.

“We are extremely excited to have the Autosense drill win Popular Science’s Grand Award in the home category,” said Allison Nicolaidis, Black+Decker president, in a statement.
