Editorial Product Review:Amazon.com Item Description:Tired of that battery-powered screwdriver being dead when you need it most? Here’s an alternative. Surprisingly powerful and stunningly lightweight, Black & Decker’s 3.6-Volt Cordless Screwdriver features the best energy-to-weight ratio and longest-lasting charge available. Just the right weight and style for assembling furniture, hanging curtains, and mounting light fixtures, this tool is powered by a lithium-ion battery that holds a charge up to 18 months longer than comparable nickel-cadmium-powered drivers.
A very forgiving power screwdriver for those who hate cords but frequently forget to recharge, the lithium-ion battery also helps this tool deliver 20 percent more power than Ni-Cad tools. When it is time for a recharge, a fixed, internal battery lets you just drop the whole tool into the included charging base, rather than detaching it from the tool and attaching it to the charger, a process that sometimes takes longer than driving the darn screw. Half the size of most screwdrivers in its class, this tool is great for working in tight quarters and around tough corners.
Powerful and durable enough for years of household use, the tool’s pistol grip makes overhead driving a much more comfortable task than you’ll experience with in-line drivers that require an uncomfortably bent elbow that shortens reach. And, at just 2.6 pounds, there’s no more dying strain to finish extended overhead driving tasks. Not that there’ll be such a thing as extended applications. This driver spins screws at 180 rotations per minute and churns out 48-inch pounds of torque, easily rivaling most drill/drivers pound for pound, and definitely providing a welcome rest for the wrist. Best of all, Black and Decker’s Grab-N-Go charger mounts to walls for easy access. The purchase is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

perfect basic consumer screwdriver
I replaced a larger Skil screwdriver with this one and I have loved it. The battery life is exceptional (unlike the Skil), I haven't had any power performance issues (putting up blinds, assembling furniture, etc), and the size is great. Though I have to admit that my favorite feature is the huge accessory set that comes with it. I even lent it to the delivery guys who were assembling my new baby crib which used hex bolts... certainly made their job go a lot quicker!

Perfect for the so-so do-it-yourselfer
We kind of joke that this is the best tool we bought since we bought our kitchen chairs. (Oh, don't you use your kitchen chairs as ladders and scaffolding when painting and putting up ceiling fans too? They make great sawhorses, as well.)
All joking aside, though, this little tool gets more use than any other tool we own. It's great for putting together everything from IKEA furniture to real build it yourself from scratch things. We've never run down the charge, even after putting together 10 IKEA bookcases in one afternoon. We keep it on the charging stand when not in use. It is surprisingly powerful for such a little machine. This is a perfect screwdriver, and it's also powerful enough to be used as a drill for small jobs.

Gets the job done greatly
Works without any problems. Powerful and compact enough to satisfy all my household and pc repairing needs.
The only thing that I would add is the second accessories holder. There's only one in the box and you have 2 sets of them. So 1 set has to be in my drawer where it can be lost.
