This is one cool cordless tool!

At $29.99, this is a cool deal! I love mine. It is always ready to go....and I don't have to always drag out the larger cordless drill. The accessories that came with it are great too. I also bought a grinder from Ace to fit on it so I can sharpen my garden tools with it. I use mine a lot, but to be honest I have not tried to put 3" screws in hardwood. I would not trade mine in, it fits a niche in my tool cabinet and I am glad I have it.

Usefull, but could be improved!

This is a nice little tool that you can keep in a kitchen drawer or your car for a pretty long time and not worry about it loosing its charge. I really like the small compact size. It also has a decent accessory set with it. ^M

Here is where I think it needs improvement:^M
^M
*No variable control (on or off only)^M
*The speed is pretty slow ^M
*No clutch which makes it difficult tighten any screw on with any accuracy w/o taking out another manual screw driver to finish it off.^M
*not enough power to tackle even a 1-1/4 wood screw into a 2x*^M
* You cant lock the shaft (I would want this to finish tightening a screw that this unit doesnt have enough power for)^M

I realize this tool is not designed to replace a larger cordless drill and this does have many uses, but with todays technology B&D can do better.
