Is the drill variable speed with 2 gear ratios? Or just 2 speeds? The BD website has multiple models with the same number.

It is variable speed with 2 gears. It is a really nice and strong drill for home projects.

The 220 has Two max speeds (400 & 1400 rpm) while the 120 has One max speed (650 rpm.) Also, torque is 310 vs 115 inch/lbs. The B&D; site really sucks, http://www.blackanddecker.com/allproducts/20-volt-drills.aspx

there is a selector switch on the top rear of the drill that gives you the 3 speeds. there is another selector switch above the trigger that gives you either drill or torque with a selector switch range from 1- 22

One speed, but if it was variable I'm not sure how that would work. That would be like a variable speed chain saw. Why would I want it to go slower?

It's variable speed, based upon how hard you pull the trigger. It's a professional grade too. Highly recommend it.

Hi Mike,Yes it is variable speed, and it does accept standard blades. It has a quick release locking collar and you can also lock blade so you don't accidentally turn it on. I purchased a longer lasting battery to go with it also, so that can it can work with my Bosch impact drill as well.No regrets on purchase so far !Good luck !

I'm not sure. It is variable on the "P208B". I don't the "B" maybe something changed, or not ?. Also, torque and speed can be variable.

The BDCDMT120 is the B&D; Matrix that has removable heads that can be interchanged with others such as a jigsaw attachment in place of the drill head. It is also a 3/8 drill. The Decker BDCDHP220SB-2 does not have interchangeable heads but is a 1/2 inch drill with two speed ranges. Love my Decker BDCDHP220SB-2. High speed is very high for a cordless - has lots of power, good battery life and takes larger drill bits than the 3/8".

Like others have stated, my Makita has a single speed of 10,000 rpm. I suspect that the "Product Description" is for a different tool. The "From the Manufacturer" description appears to be correct. That said, I think it's still a great tool and would buy it again.

No, it does not have a variable speed. But, this is a well balanced hand tool and very useful in any shop.I've used mine for a few months and it has performed all the task without any problems.I'm not sure a tool this smallwould be beneficial with a variable speed.

Yes there is some variation. If you initially press lightly, it goes somewhat slower than if you press the trigger all the way in. This is not a serious drill but works great for quick jobs. We really like it. It replaced a black and decker my son took to college and we dont miss it one bit.

I have only used this drill on heavier duty jobs where a clutch releases the drill at a particular torque was necessary. I dare say no, it does not have a clutch (or a settable torque release as some call it) like my 20 volt cordless drill. A few things I do know are, it has a Contractor-grade cast aluminum gear housing and Double gear reduction and is variable speed. This is a strong, "take it to the house" drill and one of the best drills I have used, corded or cordless. It is definitely a favorite among my power tool collection.

I really didn't find any variation in speed. I just pressed and released the trigger quickly to give small, quick turns rather than a slow drill. I tried over and over to get a light press, but it was all or nothing for me. I do like it very much, however, for small jobs inside the house when my husband is not available with his bigger, more powerful drill driver. It is just the right size and weight for a woman and household fixes.

It is not variable speed. I used it for some flagstone and stone veneer. Cut was excellent.

This is not the brushless version. However, it is the hammer drill version.

Yes. As others have stated, the speed is controlled by the "trigger", the torque by the ring by the chuck. If you are drilling with a large Forstner or spade bit, be mindful of the power of the drill to hurt you should the drill snag in the hole.

It has three speed on the top of the drill 1.2.3. It also can vary the speed by the pull of the trigger in each of those speeds. Then it also has clutch on it so it wont strip screws or bolts if it is set right
