Black & Decker PD600 Pivot Plus 6-Volt Nicad Cordless Screwdriver with Articulating Head Reviews
The benefits of cordless power tools are obvious, but who says you need to pay hundreds of dollars to get the job done if you live in an apartment and don’t have a contractor’s license?
For $25, this is a super addition to any toolbox — or kitchen cabinet. This is a great gift idea for dad — or mom, for that matter.
Here’s why:
* Quick-release collar allows you to pop in a screw or drill bit in a flash. A nice, tight grip.
* Multiple forward or reverse speeds at the click of a button. Torque control on the collar is easy to adjust and visual icons make it easy to figure out which one is best depending on whether you’re using a screw or drill bit. Sweet.
* From 3-6 hours of operation on a single charge. Because it can take about six hours to re-charge, it’s a good idea to leave this plugged into an outlet in the kitchen, bathroom or garage (but not longer than 3-4 weeks without use to avoid reduction in battery life).
* Ability to pivot the position of the handle or angle is big plus and great way to avoid carpel tunnel pain.
* The LED light, built-in removable tape measure and bit holder on the handle are fluff, but add to the coolness factor.
* Surprisingly light weight for it’s rather large size.
So far no complaints. Price, form and function add up to a solid 5-star rating. You simply can’t go wrong here.
I have one of these power screwdrivers and it is a lifesaver! It cuts down on installion time by quite a lot. My fiance put together two new bookshelves for me with this screwdriver in FAR less time than it normally takes him with a regular screwdriver!
Besides being a great screwdriver, it also can act as a drill (if you get the right bits). Since it has two speeds, you can drill holes at a quick speed, then use the slower speed when you’re using the screwdriver part. It also has a handy tape measure inside for quick, last minute measuring.
Another great benefit is that it locks in to three different positions – so if you need to get to something at an awkward angle, it makes it a LOT easier! It also has a handy light on it, so if you are screwing something in a dark part of a room, you can see better what you’re doing.
I’m very impressed with this tool – I highly recommend purchasing it! You will not be disappointed!
