80 in / lbs. torque makes this tool a buy

When one considers the power this tool has for the price, 80 in./lbs. is economically made just like the big boys. One might quip over design or size, yet the torque is the bottom line. This also means better interaction with the motor and battery at this level, or just go to the high end. Hex bits are sold with just about every company, and most retail stores. For this purchase price this tool is unheard of.

CORDLESS SCREWDRIVER

VERY HAPPY WITH THE CORDLESS SCREWDRIVER SO FAR. I BOUGHT IT WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE ALL OF OUR VERTICAL BLINDS AND ALARM SENSORS IN PREPARATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT WINDOWS. WORKED LIKE A CHARM WITH THE $10 BLACK AND DECKER DRILL/DRIVER ATTACHMENT SET I ALSO BOUGHT. I'VE ALSO USED IT AS A DRILL ON ANOTHER PROJECT. VERY HAPPY SO FAR.

I've had this for at least ten years

I bought this screwdriver for $30 in 2004. It has been a champ since then. The battery lasts pretty well for jobs around the house. I use it at work occasionally when we are moving a data center. There are nothing but screws for these jobs. I put it on the drill setting and I can moves screws in and out very fast. I like the adjustable torque chuck for this as it is easy to strip a screw. Also, the self locking chuck is nice also. I will put the chuck on a medium torque setting, drill in the screw fast until it ratchets and then turn the whole screwdriver to torque down the screw to the proper setting. I will use the light inside of dark computer racks to see what I am doing. My older version does not bend as much as this one does. It only goes to 60 degrees. I don't think that the extra flex positions are a big deal.

I've put 2.5" screws into 2x4s and it powers through the job pretty fast. I put up peg board all around my garage and this guy could do the work, but it doesn't have a second battery, so it wasn't going to make it to the end of the job. I used my old corded adjustable speed drill to do the 100+ screws needed to complete the job.

For $30, this is a lot of value and a nice addition to your regular adjustable speed drill that you use for the really big jobs.

Great Little Tool

I needed an easy to use electric screwdriver with sufficient power to do household repairs and decorating. This B&D model fits the bill quite well. The pivoting head makes getting into awkward spaces easy and it's not too heavy for a woman to manipulate for long periods of time. Frankly, it's made for a woman but is strong enough for a man. Isn't that a commercial for deoderant? Well...it applies here, too. Good item.

Good value and features

Very nice powerful tool. The light comes in handy, as well as the hi speed for a quick hole drilling.

Not so good, it won't fold to 90 degrees, and it is so big, can't get into some spaces.

Overall, a very good tool.
