    • Great Value
Nice screwdriver, works great in hard-to-reach areas. Like the fact that you can unscrew tight screws and then use the power to get them unscrewed.

    • Everyone should have this in their toolbox
This was a replacement for an old BD electric screwdriver. It is great. Way more power, has a task light, easy to use, the circuit sensor is a really great feature. Couldn't be happier.

    • Great home use
I had one of these (the Lowes brand "hammerhead" same product), and used it all the time, lasted years. These aren't for "contractor" work. These are household use. They have a punch to them, so you could over tighten small projects. I find screws are unnecessarily long, dozens used, and a manual screwdriver becomes laborious. I use manual drivers to "break" really tough screws. These can be used manually to lightly torque plastic things (I replaced my brake lights with this). So very worth the money if just once you assemble your own desk or take a grill off a fan for cleaning. ... show more

    • Know What You're Getting Into Before You Buy This
Review Image by Matt S Matt S
Review Image by Matt S Matt S
Before you buy this, KNOW that it doesn't have a lot of torque. There is a reason it does not advertise torque ratings like other screwdrivers. Look at the pictures and usage on product page from Skil or the Amazon page. Nowhere for this tool do you see people trying to drive wood screws. This is designed as a light duty screwdriver. The official torque rating on this is .9 Nm which is about 8.5 in-lbs. Even though I truly like this product, I am a bit surprised Skil didn't put a bit more power in it. With that said, it's perfect for the intended use I bought it for, which is for taking apart RC cars with the kids to make it less tedious unscrewing/screwing long finely threaded M3 screws. Plus it's always fun using power tools. It is also extremely handy as lately I've been replacing many outlets in my house. Here is my short list of what I thought would be a "perfect" screwdriver, and I was never interested in the "pistol style" screwdrivers: 1.)Locking chuck or collet 2.)Lighted 3.)Variable or multiple speeds 4.)Light weight 5.)Clutch 6.)Lithium powered 7.)Replaceable Lithium batteries (in case it goes dead while working) 8.)shaft locks in place so it can be used as a manual screwdriver. Based on this, I kept looking at the Hitachi/Metabo unit. For $60 it checks off all the list, but in the end I decided I really didn't need another charger taking up space in my garage when I already heavily invested in Milwaukee M12 and M18 Fuel products and chargers. My interest was also sparked by the Craftsman or Dewalt gyro units, but apparently Dewalt is having quality issues these days and I didn't like the thought of accidentally twisting my wrist on a very finely threaded screw into plastic. Like others, the first thing I tried this on was a license plate holder that I generally do pretty tight. It would not budge the screw, where the Worx unit had no problems even on the lowest setting. One turn of the Skil by hand to loosen up the screw and it does the rest. No big deal. This really isn't a deal breaker and I don't know why some people's expectations of this product are so high. Maybe if this screwdriver is the only power tool they own, but for those of us with vastly more powerful tools, this one fits the need for a low torque, lightweight and small screwdriver that won't strip small and finely threaded screws. My M12 Fuel Impact Driver is for most everything else. Here are my pros and cons which may also clarify issues from negative reviews. Pros: 1.) Locking shaft -it immediately locks when not powered allowing the screwdriver to be used manually. This is the best feature of this unit. For comparison, the Worx one in the picture sometimes takes a full half turn before the shaft locks which is annoying. 2.) Locking collet/chuck-not fully necessary, but you will appreciate bits not pulling off if you choose to put bits directly into the collet. Again for comparison, the Worx unit will occasionally lose it's bit due to only being magnetized. 3.) Lighted-Not much to say here. 4.) Balance/form factor/weight/grip- Love it. So well balanced and just seems perfect in my hand. It feels like a regular screwdriver. I'm not sure why some people say they need to use two hands to operate the unit unless maybe they have extremely small hands. The Skil screwdriver is 3 ounces lighter than the pictured Kobalt manual screwdriver (granted, the Kobalt has stored bits inside). The twist ring is super simple and intuitive and you do not have back your hand off the normal grip of a screwdriver just so your thumb can reach a reverse button on the others. It also feels perfectly balanced especially compared to the Worx unit. 5.)Warranty-5 years, similar to Milwaukee. Hopefully Amazon is an authorized dealer if there are any issues. 6.) Price-$27 is low enough to try the tool. Cons: 1.) It really is "light duty", don't expect to drive wood screws. But again, know what you're getting into. It works for it's intended usage. Don't bash a product knowing it's limitations.....Should this even be a con? Get the Worx if you need MUCH more power. 2.)Micro USB for charging....Some may like this, but Micro USB is like the "CD" of modern music. It's on it's way out, USB-C is the way to go and Worx is the only one I've seen that uses it. Directional plugs are just annoying... 3.) No clutch. With it's low torque, this is not a big deal and also saves on weight by skipping the clutch. I've found that on my delicate work, a light grip of the screwdriver will make it turn in my hand when the screw hits any resistance. Then I manually do the last half turn. Problem solved. I never rely on a clutch to stop a screw anyways; I need the "feel" of how tight the screw is unless I'm driving larger screws into wood. What I've found is that no powered screwdriver is going to be perfect for everyone. But as someone who owns much more expensive and powerful tools, this one definitely has a place in my garage. It's a well designed small electric screwdriver. ... show more

    • Possibly the BEST Tool I've Ever Purchased
Review Image by Amazon_User2010 Amazon_User2010
I purchased this back in April, 2023 so I've had about 15 months of casual home and auto use with it. I've used this tool for numerous home, hobby and automotive projects in that time and I've been thinking that this is arguably the single best tool investment I've ever made dollar-for-dollar. It's great for low torque applications where the use of small 1/4 drive bits is necessary. The live circuit sensor is a nice addition when replacing power outlets. It has two small LED lights that are bright enough to see what your doing, but I wouldn't double it as a flashlight. I also love the fact that the battery is captive and doesn't require a separate purchase. The USB charging is convenient and I prefer this method of recharging a small power tool, rather than having to invest in a dedicated battery and charger. If you have Milwaukee power tools, or other red-themed power tools, the color is a very close match (slightly darker compared to my Milwaukee impact wrenches). This is possibly the best tool that anyone who uses screwdrivers a lot can buy, dollar-for-dollar. There are numerous 1/4" bits, bit holders and bit extensions you can buy to extend this electric screwdriver's uses. I'd recommend this to any homeowner. Some projects I've used this for and continue to use to this day: 1. Light home renovations (outlets, outlet covers, door hinges, door handles, door strike plates) 2. Automotive (screws for panels, splash guards, trims) 3. Firearm assembly 4. Fixing various items featuring screws with low installation torque. PROS: 1. Compact design 2. SIGNIFICANTLY reduces time required to remove/install screws 3. Very competitive price 4. Long battery life 5. Magnetic bit holder securely holds bits CONS: 1. Speed is not adjustable 2. LED lights should be slightly brighter ... show more

    • If you need a power screwdriver, get this - you can thank me later.
I originally purchased this rechargeable screwdriver for my instrument repair technician intern, but it works so well that I decided to keep it for myself. I bought a peg winder for it and now string changes are a breeze! I use it all around the house, and even in the garage on occasion. It's a Skil unit, so I am comfortable with the quality and I know that as long as I take care of it, it will continue to work for me for years to come. It charges up quickly, and the batteries last through just about any task you attempt. Very easy to use and super easy to change bits. If you need a power screwdriver, get this - you can thank me later. ... show more
