I have never used another brand or model, but this thing sure seems weak to me. I know this product is recommended for home use, but hey, some screws found in the home are just as difficult as those found on a construction site, or so I am told. I know little to nothing about power tools of any sort but I do have things around the house that need fixed now and again. I fear I am still having to do everything by hand. I fear to tell you that this item was really not worth the money I paid. I cannot in good faith recommend this product. Now I have extremely strong hands for a girl, actually stronger than many men, but screwing simply bores me and I don't like it.
I purchased this as I hate screwing things. I have to start a hole with a nail to screw in a screw and more often than not this thing does not have the power to finish the job and I have to end up screwing by hand anyway. I will give it two stars though, as it does work with small screw jobs.sort of. Even my wimpy sister has more power than this thing does.
Unlike what the Black & Decker Marketing department says, don't even think about using the Black & Decker 9072CTN on furniture. Unless the material is soft, it should not be used to tighten a screw. It is suitable only for driving small screws into pre-drilled plastic or sheet metal, or with plastic screws. The gears inside are plastic and cannot take the torque of driving a screw without a pre-drilled shank-diameter hole that is deeper than the screw.
I have a more powerful black and decker cordless screwdriver and was aniticpating the same with this version. It is okay for very very light duty things, but nothing more. It is very weak.the one I have that works very well is 6 volts. I believe this is 4, and IT MATTERS.
I love this new screwdriver. I will use this vendor again in the future. It was sent to me in record time with no problems.
I got exactly what I wanted in a timely manner. I cannot ask for anything else.
