Known issues and safety
Recall check: we searched GOV.UK product safety alerts, reports and recalls (Office for Product Safety and Standards) for “black decker” on 19 October 2026. The search returned many unrelated results, and the only Black & Decker title on the first page was a sledgehammer recall [2]. We could not check every result, so check the list again for the exact model.
We did not review a manual. Wear eye and ear protection when using the hammer mode, and check the kit includes a charger.
