Hand Screwdriver

Have you ever had to deal with a stubborn screw that just wouldn’t go into the material like you wanted?

Power screwdrivers are a great solution for these issues. In line power screwdrivers are designed for basic household projects. For heavy duty projects, consider using a drywall screwdriver. Some models offer various speeds. Select a power screwdriver that fits well in your hand. Different power screwdrivers have varying amounts of torque power and speeds. Take some time to review what each power screwdriver is recommended for. Compare that to the projects you are likely to undertake with the power screwdriver.

It is good idea to keep your power screwdriver fully charged. Some people choose to purchase a second battery separately so that they can have one charging and one in the power screwdriver. This is highly recommended if you will be using the power screwdriver on a regular basis.

For those of you who intend to use your power screwdriver regularly, consider purchasing a power screwdriver kit. Inside you will find the power screwdriver and a slot for each accessory. It will also include a power cord. Some of the power screwdriver kits also include an extra battery as well as a charger that plugs into your cigarette lighter.

You can get a power screwdriver kit at a much better price than having to purchase accessories separately.

Very few accidents actually occur from using a power screwdriver, but they can. While using a power screwdriver, remember the driving force behind it. The turning blade can slice your hand if you aren’t careful. Power screwdrivers will drive through most anything. Keep your hair pulled away from your face as well. Leaning forward to see your progress can result in loose hair getting caught and twisted.

Some people says about this Bosch - Cordless Screwdriver PS20  :

  • DLDuin says “This was a gift from my son. I have told him it is the best gift he has ever given me. It is light, compact and powerful. I use lots of pocket screws. It goes in many places I couldn’t get in before, with plenty of torque to turn screws all the way in. The light is a bonus. Just a great tool. Dennis”
  • Oscar Otto says “I bought the PS20 after a demo by a local tool store. It is not that I really needed another drill/driver, but this tool is so light and powerful I couldn’t resist. I helped my cousin build a deck and this little driver had no problem driving 3″ stainless screws. The light is an added bonus for woodworkers with “older” eyes. Slow speed is an issue for big projects, but I find it very handy for building furniture or other projects around home. I hope to see more lighter tools with lithium-ion technology.”
  • jharris979@gmail.com says “Does everything I could ask for. So far I’ve used for installing backer for crown molding, attaching hinges, electrical…I’m glad I did no purchase a $200+ big heavy drill.”
  • SalSclafani says “Have several larger Porter Cable cordless drill drivers in the shop. However, this tool is ergonomic, light weight, and can very conveniently be used inside cabinets. The ability to interchange bits are done without any difficulty whatsoever. I am very pleased with this purchase. If any change at all, it would be the carry case. Would prefer a hard molded case for durability and security.”
  • Jcbyington says “I’m a professional woodworker and own six drill motors. Since I purchase the Bosch, its the only one I use. I like the power and the weight as will as the light. Great tool.”
  • Mcpiper says “Over all this driver is good, the downs for me are the same with most tools. It is not friendly to those of us who are left handed, the forward and reverse switch is always in the way and is to easily moved. The carrying case is always a after thought for tool designers, nothing fits well and the tool is not secured adequately or easily.”
  • PUTTER576 says “Best for driving precision screws although it is slow, it will drill when necessary. The light weight is great and you can get it into tight places.”
