Arrived ahead of schedule and as described. Compact, versatile, robust construction and the battery lasts long enough for all the small jobs I needed plus other situations I hadn’t considered. Great value.

This B&D product is a replacement for my 25 year old version. The new one is as good as the old with advantage of the 3 selectable positions. There are possibly better versions of these drivers on the market ( at a much higher price) but this model is perfectly adequate for everyday home use.The only problem with the item is that it is now a US import and the battery charger is fitted with a composite US charger / electricity plug. However a standard US to UK adaptor works fine.

Esta pequeÃ±a herramienta es muy util y tiene mucho mÃ¡s torque que lo que tÃº lograrÃas con tu brazo. Intentaba armar un librero y mi fuerza simplemente no podÃa con unos tornillos, y esta maravilla lo hace en un microsegundo, tanto que tienes que cuidar no apretar de mÃ¡s. TambiÃ©n te permite modo “manual” para usarlo como un desarmador cualquiera. La pila le dura eones y es muy versatil con los giros que puedes configurar. Hay situaciones donde no se puede usar pero en general es una herramienta super util que toda casa deberia tener. La punta se puede cambiar por cualquier conector estÃ¡ndar, en mi caso ya tenia algunos asÃ que sirve para todo.

This little guy? We definitely talk about this little guy…
Firstly, I hate mindless drones giving anything that turns on a 5…and at the same time I detest those who give anything that isn’t their favorite color a one star. With that typed, this thing delivers…Appearance – 2/5. Its black and orange, which might not be anyone’s favorite colour scheme, but that’s not why we buy tools, so we press on.Ease of use 5/5 – It delivers when it comes to ergonomics and mobility. At first you might think the top operated button is clunky, till you actually start drilling and it all becomes rather unexpectedly easy. It might not look pretty, but it functions perfectly for the duty at hand. From cabinets , doors to drawers, its the right size and angle (pivot handle) for the small tasks. Now keep in mind this isn’t a Dewalt power drill with 2000 rpm…its a small drill for menial tasks, so don’t expect a wall drilling monster.Battery life 5/5 – Was drilling doorknobs, cabinets, a desk (legs), and a desk drawer for more than 5+ hours on one charge. This little guy delivers, really made that 4 star turn into a 5.The cons – It doesn’t have a light, the battery is internal, and it has no trigger per say (again its at the top). Which some might find weird, but I got used to it immediately. Again, this could be a strong 4, due to how much it can take and how much I threw at it without overheating or breaking. But that battery life is the real MVP, I don’t normally give 5’s especially with tools, but B&D delivered here.

Low cost, low torque power screwdriver
I used to have a Skil power screwdriver (actually two of them) that I used quite frequently. They were handy for disassembling electronics and other items that are held together with a billion screws, and their limited torque helped prevent stripping out threads.The Skils gave up the ghost, or at least their batteries did, and I never bothered to replace them. I wasn’t really fixing a lot of electronic stuff so I hadn’t missed them much. Well, that was until recently when I had to disassemble/reassemble a laptop a half-dozen times to diagnose and fix a trackpad issue. I started to really miss the old power screwdriver, so I bought this.This is not a high-end tool, and that’s OK. It’s designed to be an inexpensive way to avoid having to turn screws by hand. I don’t expect it to survive in an electrician’s toolbag or a mechanic’s shop, but for casual use it’s perfect. I keep it charged and ready to go along with a bit holder and an assortment of bits (Philips, Torx, hex, etc.).My only nitpick is that it’s slow. I’ve been spoiled by impact drivers that can run a screw out in a second flat. You have to be really careful using them on any screws threaded into plastic because it’s easy to do some serious damage, but that speed is nice. This driver is stirring molasses by comparison.But that’s a minor concern unless you’re using it in a production environment, in which case you’d probably want something better anyhow. The purpose of this driver is to automate the repetitive motion of screwing or unscrewing, and it does that very well. At this price, I wouldn’t be without it even though I use it sparingly.

It is what it is for $20 and worth it.(It just went to$17.)
ADDENDUM: 8/6/2018.I just had to come back and up this to 5 stars; 6 if I could! The more I use it, the more I like it. I refinished my kitchen cabinets and used this on all of the hinges – perhaps 40 hinges X 6 screws each(?). It performed flawlessly through each day without needing a recharge and, held torque and speed the whole time. To be honest, I was surprised at just how well it performed. This is unbeatable for the money.END OF UPDATEI read some of the reviews before I bought this, especially the 1 and 2 star reviews. But, after a couple of 4 and 5 star reviews, I decided to try it out.OK; it is definitely a light duty tool but, that is expected. After all it is $20.00 not $120.00. One of the complaints was that it didn’t drill very well(?). It most definitely is NOT a drill. It doesn’t claim to be a drill so I was surprised at the reviewers expectations. Another was that it didn’t have much torque or power. That is also true but, that is why it has a lock setting for breaking loose and snugging up the screws by hand. The very big advantage it gives is speed and continuity. That is, not needing to re-position your hand every quarter turn and possibly loosing contact with the screw head and dropping the screw because you were using your other hand to hold the pieces in position etc., etc.There were also complaints about the battery not holding a charge or, in a couple cases, not charging at all. I would suspect one of two things here. One is that the reviewer didn’t read the instructions and fully charge it properly the first time and, the other is they just got a defective product. That’s why Amazon has a great return/exchange policy. I’ve had to use it unfortunately and all was made right.The one complaint I completely agree with, and the reason for only 4 stars, is the location of the power switch and the awkward way it operates. However, this is not a big problem to overcome.In short; it is what it is and, there is no reason to fault it for not being a full size drill/driver tool. If you want to drill and drive torque and power, get a rechargeable hand drill, not a cordless screwdriver.
