And at this price point it should have one.After unboxing it went right back in. I would actually give it to a kid if it was not 42 bucks.The tool is lightweight in a not so good way. My first impression of this tool is it looks like a little toy out of a kids toolbox. Lightweight like cheap.The trigger once pulled starts the tip turning but when you release it there is no brake so the tip keeps revolving a half to three quarters of a turn. If you are a homeowner that needs a little screwdriver for putting Ikea stuff together this may work for you.But me personally I would spend a little extra and get some good quality. Not for precision work.Something like this really needs a variable speed trigger.
This little baby makes short work of it. I may pick up more tools from this line as B&D is discontinuing them. Battery lasts for better than a week. I service office electronic equipment and need to R&R many machine screws. Almost always use the high speed and the bit set is an extra little bonus. It is strictly on-off, no variable speed, but you get used to it. For $100, never but for around $30, it's great.
THIS LITTLE SCREW DRIVER WILL SUPRIZE YOU WITH ITS POWER. I AM 58 YEARS OLD AND ANY TOOL THAT CAN MAKE WORK EASIER & FASTER IS A BIG HELP TO ME.THE BATTERY IS GIVES EXCELLENT SERVICE ALSO.Black & Decker VPX1101X Li-Ion VPX 7-Volt Screw Driver I FIND IT TO HAVE MORE POWER THAN MY SNAP-ON DRIVER THAT IS THREE TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE.I WAS ALSO ABLE TO TO GET A COUPON ON LINE FOR AN EXTRA FREE BATTERY. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD TOOL,I USE ONE AT WORK EVERY DAY & I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE FOR HOME USE.
Without a clutch this driver is handicapped. A bit heavier but the clutch makes all the difference. I build computers and need a driver for the many screws that have to be removed and replaced. I use the Black & Decker VPX1201 Drill Driver because it has a clutch.
I just used it to install childproof latches on all my cabinets. I used one of the drillbits to creat starter holes for my screws. I actually caught this when it was on sale for $26.93. So overall, I think it's a good little tool if you can get it for the sale price. Plenty of power for little jobs around the house. The drillbit/driver set that comes with it is handy. Sure, it would be nice if it had a clutch or variable speed, but it does have 2 speeds which you can select.
If I had paid $40-$50 I probably would not have given it 5 stars, but for the price I paid, it's a really nice little screw driver. Worked like a charm. Wish I had bought a few more to give as gifts. And speed 1 is slow enough that you can just do little pulses with the trigger for fine screwing.
