Amazon.com Review
Cordless screwdrivers are nothing new, but this model from DeWalt puts a heavy-duty twist on the idea, and professionals are sure to appreciate it. DeWalt's 7.2-volt has the most powerful battery pack of any cordless screwdriver on the market, without sacrificing compact design. This screwdriver gets into all the tight spots cordless drills can't, and unlike other cordless screwdrivers, it won't leave you wishing for more power once there. Its 80 inch-pounds of torque is beyond even the toughest competing model, and with 16 clutch settings, it's easy to avoid stripping out screws. We also like this tool's quick-change keyless chuck and the extra maneuverability provided by the two-position handle. This is a generous kit, including the driver, a charger, two batteries, two bits, and a tough case. It may not be a revolution, but it does seem to be the first serious cordless screwdriver designed with professionals in mind. --Brian Trinen

 Great Cordless Screwdriver!!! January 9, 2005

I own numerous cordless drills and cordless screwdrivers. This one really fills the gap. Light weight and strong power, for its size. I do a lot of electrical work, which entails drywall repair amongst other things. It has enough power to drive drywall screws in, yet small enough to get into those small places. I wouldn't sheet rock a room but it's great for small jobs. Attaching cabinet hinges, electrical work and driving hex nuts, it works great in all applications. Really beats the pants off of the B&D 3 volt screw drivers. The clutch has excellent range. At the 1 setting you can drive screws into a switch face plate without breaking the plate. The higher numbers correspond almost exactly to the release pressure of my other DeWALT drills.
I knocked off one star due to the poor quick release design. By the way, it hasn't been fixed. When you push the sleeve back, towards the screw driver, it releases the bit. Like others have said, when you bump it or put it in your tool belt the bit can release. It hasn't been a huge problem, just an annoying issue. The problem is that there is a small spring that helps release the bit. So it shoots it across the room. It really doesn't make any sense, since their impact drivers have the release mechanism going in the opposite direction. That said, I would buy this again and recommend it to anyone. Hopefully, some day, DeWALT will act on these reviews. For the price this is a great deal. The batteries have long run times and the charger is the latest 3 mode version which allows you to leave the battery in the charger all the time without damaging the battery. In fact that is what they recommend, keep one in the charger at all times. It charges, conditions and then maintains a trickle charge after that. I wish that I would have purchase this item long ago. Have fun.
Update: I have now been using this tool for about 6 months. It still works flawlessly. I would like to add a note on the quick release. I think that DeWALT's thinking on the way the bit releases is for ease of use and quick action. Typically if you are using this tool, you will be changing from flat head to phillips again and again. By tapping the release the bit quickly pops out and to attach a new one you just shove it in. If, like on their impact driver, you had a locking mechanism it would be more difficult to release and install the bit. This is supposed to be for light duty work. This cordless screwdriver is now the first tool into my bag for any project. I can't imagine leaving home without it.
 WOW. There's the rest but here's the best January 2, 2001

This is simply the best cordless screwdriver around. With a drill you either have too much torque, speed and size. Having a power screwdriver is a necessary piece of equipment for any homeowner. I had always suffered with stripped screw heads or insufficient torque. No more - not with this baby. Balance is perfect, controls are terrific. I was really (pleasantly) surprised to find the chuck is a rapid load self ejecting chuck. This is really a necessity in a screwdriver (and probably in drills too - DeWalt hope you are reading this....). The torque adjustment is really great. Adjustment steps are very nicely spaced throughout the torque range. I.e. you don't have to worry about one setting being too much and the next being too little. You get a nice range throughout 15 settings. I have used this for light jobs like wall switch trim plates with no problem where I used to routinely crack them with other drivers. Also with tough driving into thick oak etc.. with no problem and no stripping. My only complaint is that the battery shape makes the tools somewhat awkward to use in the straight position. However, this is the only problem and nothing that I believe detracts from the tool overall. Having owned several black and decker cordless ones and having looked at the skil, panasonic and others. This tool leaves them in the dust ... and at a discount too! (Panasonic I have seen here for $139 or so). Get it. You won't regret it.
Best screwdriver yet! February 11, 2001

I'm an Appliance Technician and have owned and worn out stick type screwdrivers by Milwaukee, AEG and the last was a Panasonic. I was always disappointed with the torque of the other units and the length of time the batteries would hold up. While looking for a replacement for the last Panasonic I saw this one here at Toolcrib. After comparing the stats, torque, voltages, etc. I decided to give it a try. After all it cost... ... less than the new 3.7 volt Panasonic. BEST decision I've made in a long time! This tool is tremendous! Two other techs where I work already went and bought one too. I run the tool all week and swap batteries Monday morning. Haven't killed a battery as of yet. The torque is amazing. I will say the tool is quite a bit heavier than the others but the trade off of power and run time makes me not mind carrying the extra weight. I've added a set of drill bits that have hex ends and now I don't need to carry a drill on my truck. This tool is terrific and the price amazing. As a previous reviewer said "It's not a Panasonic." He's right, this tool get the job done without struggling or falling short like the Panasonic.

This is the best on the market. It beats the Panasonic, Milwaukee, AEG and other brands which are Panasonic in reality. Top quality fit and finish - great torque and torque control range. It is also variable speed. One of the best things is the self-ejecting locking chuck. It takes only one hand to change a bit as the bit pops up when you pull back on the chuck. A super buy - considering 2 batteries and a real 3 stage charger.
You'll Almost Want This Surgically Attached To Your Hand! January 23, 2001

DeWalt already had a great line of power tools, but this heavy-duty cordless screwdriver really stands out. It is a product that I have been dreaming about for years. It offers the convenience and performance you get from a powerful cordless drill/driver but without the bulk and weight. With more than enough torque settings - and plenty of torque it provides! -- you will no longer have a good excuse for stripping out screws. DeWalt has managed to construct this cordless screwdriver with very solid, durable materials while still keeping the weight quite low. I'm a woodworker, handyman, copier technician, electrical worker and even build and maintain computers. People would swear this DeWalt screwdriver was actually my closest pet! I use it for everything from delicate computer work to heavy-duty handyman work. You can't beat its power, versatility and ability to get into tighter areas than any drill ever could. Combine this tool with the Prazi Bigg Lugg tool holder (also sold at Amazon) and 6"-long screwdriver bits and you'll want to tell your other cordless drill/drivers and holsters to get out of Dodge when it comes to driving screws!
