This has become one my favorite power drivers for around the house. I have a 20v drill driver that I use for bigger jobs like mounting wall fixtures, tv mounts, tool hangers, carpentry, drilling, etc. But for small and simple work like assembling furniture, repairing small items, driving small screws for pictures/clocks/deco, the light weight and manageable speed of this driver is super convenient. The fact that major bits are stored on the driver has been incredibly convenient. They're also standard-sized so can be replaced and mixed to your convenience. For a low cost item it has been more than worthwhile to have. I ended up buying one for my mom, who doesn't need a jobsite grade tool for dealing with simple items. As something that gets only occasional use, it sits in a drawer in my tool chest. Though I find that I rarely need to charge it and it seems to be ready to go whenever I need it. I do wish like many devices these days that it was USB chargeable but the proprietary charging AC adapter is at least small and foolproof. When charged, it delivers a solid amount of torque to handle basic house jobs. I.e. you wouldn't typically need more than this. I have hung wall shelves in the pantry, assembled furniture both large and small, replaced ceiling light fixtures and chandeliers and ceiling fans. It also gives a sufficient amount of speed (RPMs) so as to be manageable when torquing screws but not so slow as to be agonizingly tedious even when working with a lot of screws. It does a good job of basic work at a low cost and its small and compact enough to fit in a pocket, or at least hang out of one. It has onboard storage and its rechargeable. For those of us who like the utility of a power tool in the convenience of a kitchen drawer, this one is incredibly useful. Read more
A small, powerful electric screwdriver. It isn't the smallest I've seen, but the unit is sturdy enough to allow me to apply some pressure. The trigger is comfortable to hold for extended use. And B&D have solved a couple of basic, vexing issues with these tools: a place to store the bits on the unit (hooray for not having to remember *where* you stored those bits), and a magnetic spot to hold the a screw or two. So much better than "in my pocket". As for those bits? They look just like the ones from my full-sized B&D drill, and as a major bonus they include hex, square, and star bits-- I can't wait to tackle my next IKEA project with this baby instead of a stupid miniature hex wrench that leaves my hand cramped after the 40th screw (not exaggerating). The internal battery is a 4V li-ion, which type are the most forgiving rechargeable batteries on the market currently, and also safe to throw in the trash when the unit reaches its end of life (although you should turn in the device or at least the battery for recycling if possible). As for why you'd want one of these, instead of just using your cordless drill? My original reason was being able to get into smaller spaces, and not having to worry about stripping screws (or damaging the material) with a too-powerful device. But now that I've compared them directly? The screwdriver weighs 1/3 what the drill (w/ battery) does-- 15oz vs 2lb 10oz. A huge difference for the home user. Also see my photos comparing this screwdriver to my Black & Decker LDX120C. One negative, is the complete lack of a charging light or battery capacity light. You can't tell it's charging, or when it's done charging, or how fast it's charging, or how much battery is left. Battery gauges are found on even the cheapest USB battery packs, and integrating a simple red/green LED on the power adapter (instead of the drill) should be child's play for B&D engineers. I find the omission on such a mature product quite perplexing, but not enough to mark down my rating. This isn't the lightest or cheapest electric screwdriver on the market, but it feels substantial, has an integrated battery, and still weighs only 1/3 as much as a modest cordless drill. Recommended.

Very good for around the house. Battery last a long time. I really like it. It is very handy. Very easy to use, I'm 69 and have been using it a lot since I got it a few months ago. No problems and have only charged it once. I put furniture together with it and took other furniture apart. Been doing a lot of restoration on furniture and it's been a very handy tool. Read more
Do not make the mistake I made. Please do not think an electric screwdriver is an adequate replacement for a power drill. As an electric screwdriver, after charging it overnight, I was quite pleased with how quickly and easily this item worked. As a complete noob to any type of tool, power or otherwise, I loved how easily this item is to use and grasp the concept of. Yes, there are people in the world who do not know the difference between a Phillips head screwdriver, and not a Phillips head screwdriver I love the different screw attachments. Has come in handy, helping family and friends put together small pieces of furniture and what not. Good quality electric screwdriver. With just enough power to do what it needs to do. If you need any stronger, invest in a decent priced drill. Read more
I bought this to make furniture assembly and small home tasks easier, and it works great. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and surprisingly powerful for its size. The built-in bit storage is very convenient and keeps everything organized. It saves a lot of time compared to using a manual screwdriver. Perfect for light household jobs. Read more
Two years later, still going strong. Read more
I purchased back in 12/21 and love this little handy cordless screwdriver. The torque is strong for such a little thing. I love the bit compartment and the light is a bonus. I have used on a lot of different projects and have yet to charge it. That’s the only problem I have is since it’s not needed charged I can’t locate the power cord and dred the day it finally runs out Read more
