Ion Cordless Screwdriver
Opinions on cordless screwdrivers?
I want to buy a cordless screwdriver as a gift. I'm looking at the Mastercraft 3.6V Lithium Ion Screwdriver (item # 54-2740-8 at canadian tire) it seems a good value but I haven't had any recent experience with cordless screwdrivers. the last time i used one was nearly 20 years ago.
Can any one shed some light onto this and tell me if this product is good, or can you suggest an alternative?
I avoid anything with a lithium ion battery whenever possible. They're very fragile, electrically speaking, don't have a very good useful lifespan whether you use them or not, and are very expensive to replace. In the case of something that sells for $35, replacing the battery can't possibly be cost effective, so it's going to have a useful life of only a couple years, whether it's used or not.
I'm with DIY Doc, I don't find powered screwdrivers worth the trouble, unless I have a LOT of screws to turn in/out. In that case a cordless drill is called for; they have a lot more power and battery capacity. Something like Canadian Tire's #54-2794-0, Jobmate 18V Drill, would work well for light duty use, and is just a bit more money.
If you really want a smaller, easier to handle cordless screwdriver, if it were me, I'd go for #54-2815-2, Jobmate 6V Screwdriver, and use it with NiMH rechargeable AA's. Or, just for occasional use, with alkalines.
