This will do as well, and better, than the dozen or so small, household class cordless screwdrivers I've owned over the decades.My motivation for selecting this cordless tool is its use of regular old alkaline AA cells; as far as I can tell, B&D is the only manufacturer on the planet doing that. If not, I'll throw in some new AA batteries. Or the chargers burned out. No sweat. The product description clearly states, "for smaller jobs that don't require huge, heavy power tools" yet some reviewers don't read the details or packaging or have trouble distinguishing this product from heavier and larger purpose-built corded or cordless power tools.
To add insult to injury, the cost of replacement batteries and chargers exceeded the price of a whole new screwdriver.It's most likely that in five or six years when I pick up this tool and press a button, it'll work. Anyone thinking this less than twenty dollar AA battery powered tool could compare with the likes of Dewalt or Milwaukee pro tools perhaps shouldn't be using tools at all.Upon removing the drill from its packaging, I entered the man cave and drove a couple of 2" screws into a pine 2x4 and drilled several holes into a piece of hardwood. Every one of my rechargeable screwdrivers have gone bad simply because I needed them just every now and then. Thank you Black and Decker. They died because I did or didn't leave them constantly plugged in, either of which will waste rechargeable batteries over a long period of time.
this is one nifty little tool. i mainly use it for guitar repair and modification. i bought it at target for around 14 bucks, and it's worth every penny to me.now people, this is definitely NOT a heavy duty drill, so don't go expecting it to do jobs that are meant for a drill.
This is a sad little toy. as a paperweight. I was tempted by the price, and then had a good laugh, at my own expense, when I put the batteries in. It may still be a good value, though.
I love this screw driver. It is not fast which is good for me since I am scared of the fast drillers. I use it for light household tasks and it is great.
If you've got a low impact, repetitive turning task that needs to be motorized then the new Black and Decker 6 volt drill/driver might be just the tool for the job.I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and it's really helped to streamline my Avian Aqua Miser building process.It takes 4 AA batteries and transforms the combined 6 volts of DC power into a surprising amount of torque. Don't expect to do any heavy drilling or screwing. We found this one at a big box store for just over [.]. bucks.
