This is a must-need tool for most households. Think about how many times you may use a screwdriver in a year... for everything from hanging pictures, to assembling furniture, to opening devices to get to their batteries, etc. A simple yet powerful electric screwdriver like this one makes tasks so much quicker and easier. I also have power drills but most of the time, all I need is a simple powered screwdriver like this. I purchased this one as a replacement for my aging non-rechargeable one that required 4 AA batteries and didn't work nearly as well as this one. This little guy is great. I love how it is rechargeable, has a LED light on it that my old one did not have (this came in handy during my first use!), and how it comes with a bit set for those who may not have one yet. It was a great deal for an indispensable, quality tool. It is lightweight, fits well in my hand, and performs well. Highly recommended for most households when a power drill isn't needed for the job.

An excellent choice for a cordless stick screwdriver. Our +15 year old B&D cordless screwdriver finally reached the point it could no longer hold a charge. The Amazon Basics by SKIL 4V Cordless Stick Screwdriver is a perfect replacement for our tried & true B&D. The Good: Excellent quality. Ergonomic. Adjustable torque. Intuitive to use. Nice basic accessory kit included. The Bad: USB C charging. I know that USB C charging is a deal breaker for many users: No option for a backup battery. The Ugly: There really is no "Ugly." Read more
Use this quite often when I don't feel like manually screwing in or unscrewing screw. It's portable would definitely look for an extension for just improved versatility. For really tight screws I'd break them by hand first and then just let this do the work for you. I like these when doing small things and does it make a difference. No need to wearily do all them by hand now you just place it in hold the button and it's quick and done. This thing is powerful too so for the price and quality it's worth it. Read more
I have been wanting to purchase one of these stick screwdrivers for some time for tasks that don't warrant an impact or screw gun. I decided to try this Amazon brand over Dewalt and others, mainly because of the price and because it was made by Skil, who has been making power tools for a long time. Circular saws were once called "Skil saws" because they were one of the first to make one. If it worked well, great, otherwise I would upgrade. I have been mostly pleased with this product. The only issue is that when it reaches max torque for any of the three settings, it pauses for 5 seconds before it will work again. Pros: Very easy to use and saves time over using a traditional screwdriver for basic tasks. Highest torque setting provides ample torque for most tasks Cons: Long charging time for a small battery Pauses for 5 seconds after it reaches max torque level. Overall, this rechargeable screwdriver is a very good value and great for homeowners and DIY'ers. It provides good power and torque for most tasks. Read more
BUY IT. This thing is a beast. Watched Torque Test Chanel’s video on it and decided to give it a try. This electric screwdriver has enough torque to drive screws into studs, it’s small and versatile. I use it almost daily at work. It has taken a serious beating and works like new. Can also be hand turned. I always am scared I will strip the gears but never have. Holds a charge really well. Overall 12/10. Amazing product at an unfairly good price. Read more
Great cordless screwdriver. Excellent value. Works very well. Read more
The Amazon Basics by SKIL 4V cordless stick screwdriver is a handy little tool for everyday tasks around the house. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and much faster than using a manual screwdriver for things like assembling furniture, installing light fixtures, tightening cabinet hardware, or working on small DIY projects. The stick design makes it easy to control, especially in tighter spaces. The three torque settings are useful for adjusting power depending on the job. Lower settings work well for delicate screws, while the higher setting gives enough power for typical household materials. The LED light is a helpful feature when working in dim areas like cabinets or closets, and the included bit set covers the most common screw types. Charging through USB is convenient and the battery lasts a long time for light to moderate use. It’s not meant for heavy construction work, but for quick repairs and assembly tasks it works very well. One helpful tip is to start screws by hand before using the motor to keep them aligned and prevent cross-threading. It’s also worth selecting the correct torque setting for the material to avoid stripping smaller screws. Overall, this is a practical, easy-to-use cordless screwdriver that’s ideal for quick projects and everyday home maintenance. Read more
The unit is well made. Very inexpensive. Lots of torque. Nice convenient size. Fits in a tool box and takes up hardly any room. Driver head are of good quality. Charges quickly and lasts quite a while. It is not designed for heavy duty work. If there is any drag on the screws the torque is transmitted to your hand. If you are not careful you will strip the screw heads of damage the bit head. I found that even with moderate levels of resistance when putting in a screw, the screwdriver quickly becomes hard to handle. There is no clutch so it just stops dead when it is pushed too hard. There is only a short wait until it comes back but still quite bothersome. Without a clutch its not safe to use on light duty items but fails as a driver for moderate torque screws. Read more
