Tools and Hardware Reviews of Denali 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver Kit with Wall-Mountable Charger
Customer Review: A MUST AT HOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this several months ago when it was in my gold box and I've been thrilled with this purchase ever since. I've read previous reviews where people have had a problem keeping it charged, and fortunately for me, I have had no such problem. In fact, I took this out yesterday to change cabinet pulls (after keeping it off the charger for months) and it fired right up. Initially I tried my husband's exceedingly heavy and ridiculously large, turbocharged, supersonic drill that can double as a 50 pound weight . . .but it just seemed "too much" for the job .. that is unless the job was "breaking my wrist while installing cabinet pulls" This is not to say that this is a "chick drill", it was just more practical for the task at hand. In fact, this drill was initially purchased as a christmas gift, but when my husband saw it and tried it out, he said "let's get your dad something else for christmas" . . So. .with father's day coming up . . I'll look no further. . . . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Customer Review: A SUGGESTION TO MAKE IT BETTER

I've had this drill for about a month and it does everything it is supposed to do.
I am very happy with it !
There's one big flaw that the designers have missed. The light comes on at the same time that the drill stars to run, so if you are working in a dim place and you're trying to start a screw, it makes it very dificult to put the screw in the pre-drill hole.
The light should come on with the slightest touch of the trigger BEFORE the drill starts. My Skill drill does that and the light becomes a life saver then.
So, Denali designers, go back to the drawing board and add this feature, that way you'll be at par with your competition.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
Customer Review: A great little tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I really thought about buying the Denali cordless screwdriver a long time before actually doing it. There were quite a number of negative reviews for this tool and the price was so low I figured it might be a piece of junk.
However, the complaints about the Denali were mostly from people who expected the tool to be some sort of miniature cordless drill with the capacity to drive deck screws or drill holes in hardwood boards all day. To me, that seemed to be a matter of unreal expectations for a small 3.6V battery powered tool. The majority of reviews were positive and they described the Denali cordless screwdriver as an excellent tool for small `around the house' jobs. I finally went ahead and purchased the thing.
Why?
1. It was smaller than my aging Black and Decker cordless screwdriver.
2. The Denali had a light in the nose, useful for finding screw heads in dark places.
3. The screwdriver had a long life (always ready) Li-Ion battery. Many others did not.
4. It is actually a cordless screwdriver kit, complete with charger, driver and drill bits in a nice Cordura carrying/storage bag.
5. There is a three light charge indicator on the tool so you know how much power is left in the battery.
6. The forward/reverse switch can be controlled while holding the driver in one hand.
7. The fit and finish is excellent.
8. The Amazon.com price was a bargain for such a high-quality tool.
9. The complaining reviews were usually unwarranted except in a few cases where the tool was defective.
If you need a cordless screwdriver, the Denali is for you. If you need a hefty cordless drill, buy a DeWalt 18V unit and build a house with it. Otherwise get a Denali, charge it up and keep it in that kitchen junk drawer in case a cupboard hinge needs tightening or a toaster needs fixed.
Customer Review: A must have!

This is the best tool purchase I have ever made. I use it constantly for household repairs. I use it so often that I ordered a second one to keep in my car. The design is extremely user-friendly and it is just the right size for most projects. My wife loves it too.Customer Review: A nice toy

Used this around the house a few times and this is really for very small jobs. The battery charge is good for only few uses and there is only one speed setting which makes it harder to use. It is very light and the led light is useful although would have been nicer if it turned on automatically instead of having to manually turn it on and off with a button. I would recommend a 9.6 V Dewalt instead which I is a real tool.
