Which electric screwdriver do i get
 
I used my first electric screwdriver to work on my buggy over the weekend. I won't work on it again until I get one. Which one should I get?

I use this one now -

I was using a cheaper B&D without a clutch until I tried this one, the clutch is sensitive enough to prevent stripping small screws in plastic. The charge seems to last and last. Was one of the better Xmas presents I got last year....

This is one of those ques that usually gets a bunch of answers.....

Interesting. :eek: Well, welcome to the dark side. :p:lol:

Back on topic, I'm sure there are several good choices, the little Ryobi is one of them to consider. Many in my area have had them for several years.

I know how these what do I get threads usually turn out, but I really just didn't want to spend 40 or 50$ on a piece of junk. The one I used seemed really good, but I've used another one that battery died within minutes. How about this one. I think it's the one the guy at the track had. http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-DB3DL-...8106141&sr=8-1

Look into the Ryobi the clutch setting on the lowest is just about right for most fastners,plus lithium cells,small,lite weight,plus if you need to do some monor repairs around the house ,descent torque for driving screws.

+ 1 on the Ryobi. Had mine for two years. costs less that 30 dollars

I've had my hitachi for about 2 years now and it has been great. adjustable torque clutch, 2 lipo batteries that last. It has never let me down. 60 bucks well spent..

I picked up the Craftmans brand. Seems to be the same as Ryobi just has two speed settings. Cost a little more . I use it when I'm unscrewing suspension pillowballs some of those can be a pain.

Pass you soon...

+1 on the Sears. Have had mine over a year now and it performs well. I never trust the clutch however. I always hand tighten the last turn or so to be safe.

Do you mean you dont like the amish brand that you are using now?
