Pros & Cons

Pros

The dewalt 8v max cordless screwdriver is super efficient. After years of wasting money on worthless underpowered and failing powered screwdrivers, this is the only one that will do the job.

The orientation sensor is accurate enough that i can precisely control the speed as well as the direction of the turn without flicking switches or having to cautiously concern myself with how much i am squeezing a trigger. The led light helps perfectl...  Read More

This is now my go-to electric driver in the garage for anything that doesn't need much torque. There is no way to set or measure torque, but the gyroscopic system allows you to fairly precisely place a screw. Only downside is that it’s thicker than yo...  Read More

Impact drivers, sawzalls, pole saws. The collard chuck is excellent and captures the bit.



Cons

Gyroscopic function rarely works and battery runs down quickly. When button is pressed and the screwdriver is turned it will not work most of the time. Very intermittent and unreliable.

Quality


Light, compact, much easier than my impact driver or drill.


This works great, have used it three times to remove screws for tv repair.


The defect: suddenly and intermittently stops running while i still have the gyro run button held down.


If you release the power button and press again, it is as if you are in neutral and any prior rotation is nulled out.

Price


I was a bit hesitant to buy this due to the price, but it is one of the most used tools in my tool chest.


But small price to pay for such a cool tool.

Shipping


I can't remember if dewalt sent me a return label, but i shipped it to them and they replaced it with either a new one or a cle...  Read More


I just received mine tonight (same day delivery by amazon, way to go amazon!

Packaging/appearance


Came very handy while assembling raised bed platform

Competitiveness


Seemed like a gimmick at first, but now i find myself reaching for this more than any of my other drivers.

    You just twist your wrist in the direction you want it to spin and the gyroscope does the resttwist it further it goes faster twist it just a little and it goes slower

    I took down an entire garden shed with very little effort


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For heavier duty work driving wood screws into pine wood to make a light bar i had to use a bit of my own elbow grease to drive the screws all the way init was more labor intensive but still a lot less labor intensive than using a nonpowered screwdriver

    A phillipsflat head combo bit that had a self storage place on this would be ideal


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I gave it a poor review initially because i didn’t understand how it works
