BLACK+DECKER Electric Screwdriver, Cordless, 180 RPM, 3.6V, Spindle Lock with Pivoting Handle, Charger and 2 Hex Shank Bits Included (Li2000)

It's good for the price. I needed a cordless screwdriver to put together a project for my mother. I was stumped as to which one I should get. Then I remembered many years ago I saw my older brother assembled two sets of bunk beds with the same screwdriver. I remembered how efficient he was with his tool. And that memory prompted me to get this particular Black& Decker product.

Great power for a battery screwdriver. Long lasting and easy to use. Highly recommend it for most small projects.

I used to have a Skil power screwdriver (actually two of them) that I used quite frequently. They were handy for disassembling electronics and other items that are held together with a billion screws, and their limited torque helped prevent stripping out threads.The Skils gave up the ghost, or at least their batteries did, and I never bothered to replace them. I wasn't really fixing a lot of electronic stuff so I hadn't missed them much. Well, that was until recently when I had to disassemble/reassemble a laptop a half-dozen times to diagnose and fix a trackpad issue. I started to really miss the old power screwdriver, so I bought this.This is not a high-end tool, and that's OK. It's designed to be an inexpensive way to avoid having to turn screws by hand. I don't expect it to survive in an electrician's toolbag or a mechanic's shop, but for casual use it's perfect. I keep it charged and ready to go along with a bit holder and an assortment of bits (Philips, Torx, hex, etc.).My only nitpick is that it's slow. I've been spoiled by impact drivers that can run a screw out in a second flat. You have to be really careful using them on any screws threaded into plastic because it's easy to do some serious damage, but that speed is nice. This driver is stirring molasses by comparison.But that's a minor concern unless you're using it in a production environment, in which case you'd probably want something better anyhow. The purpose of this driver is to automate the repetitive motion of screwing or unscrewing, and it does that very well. At this price, I wouldn't be without it even though I use it sparingly.

Perfect size, perfect power. I’ve used this to install furniture, open battery compartments, and feel capable for once in my life. Battery lasts, torque is solid, and it doesn’t sound like it’s dying when you use it. Highly recommend for people who refuse to use full-size drills unless it’s a life-or-death IKEA situation.

Great design with Philipps head and a straight head screw bit. Great to complete small jobs around the house. Well designed, excellent product

ADDENDUM: 8/6/2018.I just had to come back and up this to 5 stars; 6 if I could! The more I use it, the more I like it. I refinished my kitchen cabinets and used this on all of the hinges - perhaps 40 hinges X 6 screws each(?). It performed flawlessly through each day without needing a recharge and, held torque and speed the whole time. To be honest, I was surprised at just how well it performed. This is unbeatable for the money.END OF UPDATEI read some of the reviews before I bought this, especially the 1 and 2 star reviews. But, after a couple of 4 and 5 star reviews, I decided to try it out.OK; it is definitely a light duty tool but, that is expected. After all it is $20.00 not $120.00. One of the complaints was that it didn't drill very well(?). It most definitely is NOT a drill. It doesn't claim to be a drill so I was surprised at the reviewers expectations. Another was that it didn't have much torque or power. That is also true but, that is why it has a lock setting for breaking loose and snugging up the screws by hand. The very big advantage it gives is speed and continuity. That is, not needing to re-position your hand every quarter turn and possibly loosing contact with the screw head and dropping the screw because you were using your other hand to hold the pieces in position etc., etc.There were also complaints about the battery not holding a charge or, in a couple cases, not charging at all. I would suspect one of two things here. One is that the reviewer didn't read the instructions and fully charge it properly the first time and, the other is they just got a defective product. That's why Amazon has a great return/exchange policy. I've had to use it unfortunately and all was made right.The one complaint I completely agree with, and the reason for only 4 stars, is the location of the power switch and the awkward way it operates. However, this is not a big problem to overcome.In short; it is what it is and, there is no reason to fault it for not being a full size drill/driver tool. If you want to drill and drive torque and power, get a rechargeable hand drill, not a cordless screwdriver.

I have had four of these in the last 10 years and they all failed the same way. There is a small plastic pinion gear on the motor shaft that eventually fractures. This gear is less than 1/4 inch in diameter identified as part 14 in the attached drawing. When that happens the drive no longer works on much of anything. It is quite a task to open the assembly and replace the gear if you can get one which I was never able to do, so I just buy a new model. If this gear were made of brass instead of nylon the unit would last much longer. I keep buying them since I know they last a couple of years anyway and are otherwise very handy to use and work well. One heads up is when you get a new good one, it hums smoothly in both directions. The last one one I got had a rattle / buzz and failed just past the warranty perion. I suspect it was not a new unit even though it came in the plastic package, perhaps a return.
