It's good to have "hand free" stability when using this product. A good little practical piece of engineering.Customer Review: small and powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing has some real power for something so small. I used it yesterday to remove some 3.5" screws from some kitchcen cabinets, and although it let me know it was a tough job, it did the job, and had plenty of mojo left for other things. Comes with a good assortment of bits, but the drill bit falls out easily (an issue I also had with the bits in the Pivot Plus that I owned previously). Be sure to read the manual for proper battery care (for example: can't really leave it in all the time, needs to be used, or at leat undocked, monthly).
Very handy to have around, and slips on and off the charging stand easily.
Customer Review: very useful for small jobs
Summary: 4 Stars
I just used my new screwdriver to hang two sets of plantation blinds and it worked well enough.
Things that work:
The torque and torque settings are good and I didn't need to max it out to get the screws in tight with pre-drilled holes. The light is good to have, the battery life is ok and the screw holder was pretty nifty. It was nice to have and I used all of those features. Combined, they made the job easier and I didn't feel like I needed more hands.
Things that can be improved:
The trigger needs a two stage switch, the first for triggering the light, the second for turning the motor. Also, the charger should have a tighter fit for positive feedback to assure you the thing is charging well. The battery needs to be replaceable and it probably is if you're daring enough to take it apart. I couldn't get into tight spaces, not the screwdriver's fault, I just needed a longer reach than this screwdriver bit had so I still had to break out the 4" #2 phillips for a few of the screws due to bracket clearance problems.
Overall I am pleased to have this in my collection. It complements well with a cordless drill as I am always drilling holes and filling them with screws, so two tools are vital for me.
