Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not own this myself, but purchased it twice as gifts (one for a co-worker and one for my father). I plan to purchase for myself sometime in the future -- due to RAVE reviews!!!Customer Review: Battery is wont charge after a few months
Summary: 1 Stars
I didnt expect much from this unit. I knew it wasn't a drill and I'm not going to be tapping screws in a wall or wood. I just want to unscrew/screw computer screws. It was "OK" for a few months, but after a while wouldn't keep a charge. 8 months later, it will only last about 2 seconds and die. Not worth a dime!Customer Review: Beautifully designed cordless screwdriver/drill kit
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit comes with both screwdriver heads and drill bits in a compact and well designed case. Not for heavy duty but very handy for small jobs around the house. Lithium battery hods a charge for several times longer than an alkaline battery. Very pleased with the purchase.Customer Review: Cheap in everything
Summary: 2 Stars
Got one of them a year ago. I haven't used too much but when I needed it, the unit wouldn't charge anymore. When connected to the power supply all the three LED was blinking fast... (a condition not described in the manual).
So I contacted Amazon about the problem, they sent me a replacement unit for a good price (discounted, since they could not replace it for free anymore).
The new unit arrived and, although it is supposed to be the same, I have found some important differences:
- they removed the power supply connector from the unit: now if you want to recharge it you can only do it through the base (in the previous one you have the option to connect the power supply directly to the unit or through the base).
- the contacts between the base and the unit did not work very well... so charging now is a problem: I have to push the unit down to the base several times to charge it (eventually I have to put a book on top of it to push it down). This is unfortunate problem because without the old connector I cannot charge the unit like before!
Other problems:
- The small magnet that is supposed to hold the heads came off after few hours... now when I remove the heads the magnet stays attached to the head... very annoying: to insert the new head I have the move the magnet in the new head and force it down (not easy to insert at this point). The alternative? remove the magnet, but then the head will fall continuously...
- Not powerful: as soon as it feel some resistance, it stops... useless. It also makes some very bad noise when torque is applied... I don't remember this sound in the older unit. So far I've been using only to drill small holes in drywall, or when I have a lot of (long) screws to put in, but at the end I had to tight everything with a manual screwdriver as the unit can't tight them well enough.
I regret I haven't kept the older unit, it would have been better to replace the battery and use the older screwdrivers probably... but is this the kind of trouble you want to go through ?
Conclusion: get something else. You basically get what you paid for...
Customer Review: Compact and Powerful
Summary: 4 Stars
This little cordless screwdriver is so convenient. It comes with a wall-mount storage place to keep the item within easy reach. The number of bits that it comes with are incredible, durable, and will be very useful for all kinds of small repairs around the house. I particularly liked the small size and light weight as I have a bad back and carpal tunnel syndrome, and some of these drill-like cordless screwdrivers are just too heavy to do repairs to ceiling fans, ceiling vents, or anything that you have to do holding the screwdriver over you heard. A good buy.
