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.
a great cordless screwdriver July 8, 2008
Purchased a similar model (without wall mount) a couple of years ago and it has performed well. For the less than $30. you can't go wrong. great for light and 'moderate' screw jobs - but on the slow side for drilling. An excellent hand screwdriver substitute. Good torque and the battery is great at holding a charge. Overall pleased so I purchased a couple as gifts.
Good for light tasks, plenty of bits June 21, 2008

This is a nicely designed lightweight power tool, but don't plan on doing any heavy drilling with it. On the plus side, it's quite small and easy to handle, has a convenient charging dock, and a carrying case that holds a wide range of drill and screwdriver bits. Each bit fits in a little elastic loop in the case. The bits have a hex base that slips into the magnetic holder on the drill, so no chuck is needed to tighten/loosen them. That saves time when changing bits, but the downside of this is that it's not easy to back out a drill bit from the hole you've just drilled without it coming out of the bit holder.
The minus side: At 3.6V, you don't get much power, the RPMs are slow, and there's no variable speed. The button for changing the rotation is a little too easy to push, and because it's right on the grip (instead of on top where many other drills locate it), I found myself inadvertently changing directions when I didn't intend to. The largest drill bit in the provided set is only 1/8", so I bought a hex-base set at Walmart for a few bucks that filled in the 3/16" and 1/4" sizes.
All in all, it's a worthwhile tool to have for small jobs, and compact enough to slip in your pants pocket. If you have a lot of drilling and driving to do (is that illegal?), go for a heavier-duty model, but this one fits the bill for lots of occasional light tasks.
A MUST AT HOME! June 4, 2008
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!
