As an electric screwdriver is great, light, easy change of direction without changing your grip, good battery life, and rechargeable via USB. The circuit sensor (which I don't really care about) not so good. Worked for a day only. I don't see the need to include this feature. Will be better for Skil to remove this sensor and drop a couple of dollars from the price.
So far I have really enjoyed the convenience of this screwdriver. The kit that came with it is also great. I have everything I need right in one small box that I can put in my DIY bag I use around the house for different chores. I really like the light that comes on to see in dark spaces. It does take a bit of getting used to having a dial instead of a trigger to use the screwdriver. I haven't used the circuit gage yet, but I think it will come in handy when I do have a need for it.
I've always been a bit skeptical about these screw drivers having much power. I feel that this has enough torque to do most jobs or at least get things snugged down enough. I would buy this again.
The circuit sensor works very well and is handy. At 4 volts, however, this driver is not very powerful and gives up when more force is needed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
