DEWALT 8V MAX Gyroscopic Cordless Screwdriver Kit with 2 Batteries (DCF680N2) - Perfect for Home DIY, Furniture Assembly, and Professional Construction Projects

As a professional remodeler there are many times I find typical impact drivers a little overly heavy, large and powerful for, like when installing cabinet hinges, drawer pulls, door locksets and hinges. These applications where most screw holes are pre-drilled simply don't require the same power as driving 3" decking screws for hours at a time. That's where this little guy really shines (no pun intended, but DeWalt is getting much better with the LED lighting on their tools and this one is really good). It's light weight, compact and capable. As a test, on Max torque without a pilot hole I drove a 2 1/2" deck screw into two thickness of 2x4 SPF and it mostly flushed-up the head before stopping. For wrapping exterior trim with aluminum I often pre-drill the metal where a trim nail will go to prevent "oil canning" and this little guy is light enough to carry in a tool pouch all day and powerful enough to get the job done. I expect its unfamiliar mode of operation requiring a twist of the wrist to become second-nature following enough practice, where as currently it takes some forethought. Rather than operating it in a somewhat awkward or uncomfortable wrist position my thought is to engage the fastener with the tool canted to one side or the other then turn it to a more natural position while it does the majority of its work, but that's just personal preference. The kind of fasteners this tool is appropriate for don't require a death grip on the tool to get the job done. The adjustable torque function is where other manufactures often fall short but this one seems to work very well. For my needs this is a specialized tool that won't see everyday use, or even every week, but I expect it to make the work it's designed for easier, faster and more pleasant to do.
