As an electrician, I can say that this tool is not a typical one to see in our trade. However, I bought it to help save my wrist and hands from cranking fasteners all day everyday, as I have already undergone surgery for carpal tunnel in my left hand and soon to be my right. It’s great! I love it. It doesn’t have the power or torque I hoped it would, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a huge help. I’ve only had it for about three weeks, but no regrets so far. Based on what little time I’ve had it, I can say that I’m happy with the purchase, and I would do it again.
Never got to use it. Charged it, put a bit in gave it a test twist to see it move, then tried to drive a screw and nothing happened ! He tool never worked ! Disappointing.

Hello there. Thank you for reviewing the SKIL Screwdriver. We would be happy to take a closer look into the experience with the screwdriver not operating if you would please send SKIL a direct message at one of our social channels Facebook, X, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Thank you!
I give this little screwdriver 5 stars because it's impressive for the price. Nice features with the built-in power finder and locking bit collar. I did a net search and YouTube review search before purchasing. For the price, this one beats many of the other Chinese made 4v screwdrivers.
Very ingenious tool with a too small battery that tends to drain if not plugged in when not in use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I picked up the little screwdriver to use for changing guitar strings. There weren't any string winders that had very good reviews so after a bit of looking I found the Skill. I put in a peg winder and it's ready to do. I expect it will be doing it's job perfectly for many years.
