Wowsers, I thought you were joking :P
I have this one. Got it in the metal tin edition about a year ago. Great little tool for quick and small jobs like kids toys that need batteries replaced.
Not sure if this edition comes with the extra head bits that allow you to work at 90 degrees, etc.
its the same metal tin edition with all the extra heads. i bought one in the weekend
I wonder how this compares with the Aldi one?
I paid $19.99 for that (or was it less on clearance? I forget) and it's been FANTASTIC, I've actually been naughty and used it as a cordless drill occasionally (it's a cordless screwdriver, there is a difference!) and it's been up to the task, although I've probably shaved life off it.
Absolutely brilliant things, but $49 for essentially the same thing with a brand name slapped on it seems a bit expensive to me. If I'm reading this wrong please let me know, but I think I'll wait for Aldi and buy a spare for $19.
You get what you pay for. I have found that cheaper brand batteries do not last long. They don't hold the charge for that long.
You keep it charged, and use it after a while, you will notice that the battery is completely drained. Doesn't happen with good brand one IMHO.
I could be wrong!I bought the Aldi one and it's been great so far. Got a good bit of torque for a small unit. Wouldn't pay $49 for a dedicated screwdriver when cordless drills/drivers can be had for $100.
I have an earlier model one of these and they are great.
A cool way to use them
LOL
this video has a lot of fun. thumb up
I got one of these a few weeks back from Masters (another Ozbargain special!)
It's been very useful, is quite light in weight, has a (weak) light on the screw end which is useful when using it in darker areas.
We use the same model at work in IT when we're reracking equipment etc and need the speed it offers but don't have space for a cordless drill to do the same.
I bought one of these a while back, in a pack with a bottle opener. So far I have never used the bottle opener…
It is a good unit, good battery life. I find it doesn't hold onto the bits really well and the little stand is a bit naff.
If anyone's looking for something this compact that can actually be used for the odd drilling job as well, I'd go with this Ryobi 12V. I've had it for a while now, used it for sinking picture anchors, working with soft wood and as a general-purpose screwdriver; it's incredibly useful, plus as compact as a 12V drill can get.
How much is it normally?
