Default What cordless screwdriver do you guys like?

I bought a couple 1/4" shank hex's to use in a cordless screwdriver but havent found a screwdriver that I like. I'd like something small, with adjustable torque as well as a rocker switch for forward reverse. Am I missing something????

If money isn't a concern check out the Makita. I got the combo with the impact at homedepot and it comes with two batteries.

+1 on the Makita. Works great for RC's
Has a slow speed and the lower torque settings won't strip out plastics.

true, but If I ask a question on a thread thats 2 months (or 2 years) old, I likely wont get a response from the person I'm asking the question to. I could send a PM, but might be missing out on info on newer tools.

I agree Technology does change that whole anti repost thing is stupid.

Check out the Amazon reviews based on that I bought the Hitachi DB3DL its nice.
