Anybody use a power screwdriver? Best and lightest?
Anybody use a power screwdriver? Best and lightest?
I was real happy with a "Metabo Power Max" (from The Woodworker's store) - two speeds with adjustable clutch; but, while I was on vacation, one of the techs 'borrowed' the tool and neglected to charge the two batteries .
I haven't found replaceable batteries yet.

i use a bosch with an extra long phillips head and a torque limiter it is pocket sized and only needs charging about once a week .average cost is $70 dollars australian.
Some of our techs have the Makita 12v, black and white colour on the outside. Those things is super light and powerfull enough. Anything lower than 12v for me is no good and it must be lithium batteries. I myslef uses porta cable 12v lithium and has been with them for three years now, same batteris and 5 days use every day. In the shop, that's where i am. like it there too.

I don't carry it in my car currently, but use it at home!...probably one of the best lightweight and powerful drivers I've found!
ignore the last post it was the only number i could find on the tool this is the correct name and you can go to bosch screwdrivers on the net and see the details
Bosch IXO V DIY Li-Ion 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver Premium the torque unit is a separate part the driver can be used as a drill or screwdriver
The last one we got was Milwaukee M4. Battery last for days. It was light enough but not super light. It has 22 torgue ranges and a drill function. It charges real fast.
Originally we started with Panasonic but they stopped making them, so we went to Hitachi which were light but failed more often. Then an older Milwaukee and finally the milwaukee M4
