I use this power screwdriver all the time - well, any time I have a simple home project to do. It's so light and simple, perfect for furniture assembly or repair, hanging things, etc., without the bulk and awkwardness of a full size drill with screwdriver bits. Here's the thing - I'm getting old and even lazier than in the past, and this always seems to be upstairs when I'm downstairs, and vice versa, so I decided to buy a second one to save the stair climbing. When making the purchase, I looked at the date of the previous purchase, which was May, 2019 - over five years ago. You'd think the battery would long since have died. I've gotten so many power tools where the battery has died in a year or two, or even in a matter of months, it's kind of astonishing that this little guy is still functioning unchanged after five years. You aren't going to build a house with it, but it's so handy and durable, it's well worth buying two. My only suggestion to Wen that would make this better would be to provide a charging stand. Although not a big deal, it's slightly less satisfying to have to plug the screwdriver in for a charge, and lay it on the counter top. Would be better to just pop it neatly in its own stand and walk away. [Update on the new model]: The current model replaces the previous charger jack with an odd shaped connector. Not sure the connector type, perhaps a USB mini. I have to ask WHY? In this day and age, every device with a charging port should be USB-C, which are symmetrical, making them easy to plug in - there is no wrong direction. These other oddball connectors can only be inserted one way. It's a small thing, but an inexplicable design choice. Still a great product, but please change to a USB-C on the next product revision.

It is what it is... an electric screwdriver for light work. Seems to stay charged up while using it. It has never failed me. But the amazing part is, that I bought this in 2019, used it for a few projects, and haven't used it again for at least 5 years. found it again today, and it still works and has plenty of a charge from previous usage. I am impressed! Read more
I have had this product for three years. I am surprised that after all this time the battery still holds a charge. Battery life while in use and torque is sufficient for small home projects (putting together furniture, sheet rock, would screws....). Its small size is great for tight spots. Keep in mind that it only has the pistol grip function. It does not rotate to a straight grip. I would certainly recommend it for the price! Read more
Wen is a trusted company for decades. At this price range, it is at top of its class. This little driver is very nicely made and even has a nice aesthetic industrial design. The fact that the driver is on top of the unit is a useful feature to allow access to tight spaces. Also, the bit locking is only found on more expensive units. The only thing I don't like is the bits are very cheaply made and are chrome plated (very slippery). It came with 2 std bits and 1 Philips bit. I would rather that it came with 2 Philips, no one really uses std screws these days... The holster acts as good protection for the driver. Overall, very satisfied. Read more

Dislike that it just decided to stop working. Took it off the charger and the 3 power lights were on after It was unplugged. And it would do nothing. Be careful, I did not notice that it was only a 90 day care package. Maybe the motor is worth something. I would look elsewhere for a powered small screwdriver. Read more
I was very surprised at how well this little screwdriver really worked. Was assembling ikea furniture and thought big drill was overkill - this worked very well and the battery lasted a long time. Surprising amount of torque for something this size, though had to use hand screwdriver for final tightening in a few spots. Read more
It was too small to do the jobs I want done Read more
