I'm glad that I purchased this. I needed to replace a larger & nicer electric drill that during my move, the cord/charger was misplaced. This small set is just fine for my needs though. It has many bits that come with it but it does not have a flat head bit. I know those aren't used as much but I did need that recently but keep a regular set of screwdrivers on hand. It's small so it tucks easily inside of my small tool pouch/bag. I use this in my motorhome so it's easy to store away without taking up much needed space. I would recommend this to any one or woman needing something just small to use on occasion. During my use of tightening up all of the screws from my latest project, it did not run out of power. In fact, it was charged when I opened it and I have not had to recharge it yet. Impressive for something this small and inexpensive. It's a keeper for sure. Read more
This tool is fantastic! I order a lot of things on Amazon and Ikea both and this is fantastic at helping me put things together. The instructions always say to not use a drill, and while I do have a drill, it's heavy and not useful for jobs requiring less spinning force. This is perfect as I can easily control the speed and force and it doesn't strip or overtighten the screws on the assemble-yourself type furniture. You do have to be careful and go slow at the beginning and end, but it really speeds up the process without wearing on my hands. The light is actually really helpful too as much of my furniture and accessories are dark and the light lets me see better in the corners. The pivot function is very handy and works really well. It takes a little bit to figure out to do it one-handed, but it is doable. One of my favorite things is the charging light. I can tell at a glance when I need to charge it, which may be never as I've been going for days with it :) Read more
With so many things to do around the home, and assemble-yourself-furniture options to buy, a handy power screwdriver is a must have for all of my real estate clients. This is the #1 most used tool (next to the multi-tip ratchet screwdriver) used by most home owners. This is convenient for most jobs around the house. The USB charger makes it convient to charge too. The adjustable handle makes it easier to get to most any space...and the onboard light is a huge help too. Combine that with the multiple bits and the handy starter items (for hanging items) there is no wonder that this is a favorite of all of my clients. I put one of these into a tool bag along with the basic tools, and they are not only set for thier move, but to settle into their new home and do simple maintence for years to come. Read more
It doesn't use a C charger. I thought everything was using C's now. It Read more
2016 - 2026 , 10 years around the house! Honestly my only complaint is still the fwd/rev switch is too easy to bump. I also have the Dremel HSES-01 screwdriver and its trigger easy to inadvertently press, Most designs have a flaw. The best cordless screwdriver I’ve owned is the 8v Dewalt DCF680N2 but Dewalt stopped making it and replaced it with a far inferior 4v machine. Used & old stock DCF680’s are selling for a fortune! Here’s my original review from 2016 that still holds true. No it's not perfect but at this price point it exceed my expectations. Very solid straight to 90° pistol lock. All metal drive case. Rubber padding around nose of case. Battery status light. Trigger actuated LED headlight. Standard micro USB charge port. Magnetic and mechanical bit chuck. High capacity Lithium ion 4volt power cell. This was my first Black & Decker purchase in probably 30 years. Bosh Makita Dewalt & Milwaukee have dominated the market but not long ago SKIL & Black & Decker were the leading contenders. I own two homes and several vehicles & I'm always doing upgrades or maintenance so I use this frequently. It uses a Lithium ion battery, believe it or not there’s products using NiCd or NiMh batteries. USB charge port, many devices require a unique charger. I already have enough adapters to keep track of. Switching from pencil to pistol was a key feature. At a desk working in front of you the inline form is natural, Facing a wall the pistol position feels right. I compared the specs of many other cordless screwdrivers this has one of the higher torque numbers. Again, My only real complaint is the forward reverse switch is easily bumped & changed. I'll probably use some epoxy with a filler to build up a little ridge around the selector. The cheaper version (BDCS30) has the direction switch on top but lacks the pistol to pencil feature. Also the bit kit is of little use and doesn't have a conventional (blade) style bit , but I certainly didn't make this purchase based on that. I strongly suggest the Purchase of a 1/4” to 4mm adaptor to utilize all the precision 4mm bits available from Wiha & ifixit. I'm not associated with this product I received nothing for my review I recommend this product Read more
