Small size with plenty of power.I love using this screwdriver..One of the best tools I have ever purchased..It saves my hands and wrist from unwanted pain...After decades of using screwdrivers I finally gave in and purchased this battery powered screwdriver..I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised.. The battery lasts a very long time and the power is much stronger than I anticipated...This is the 4th or 5th one I have purchased for coworkers and my original screwdriver is still working great after over 6 years.. Buy this screwdriver and you won't regret it..I am enjoying it.As far as electric screwdrivers go this is my first one. I’ve used an old one purchased through snap-on a couple times and decided to buy one for myself. I’m a Milwaukee guy and have purchased tons of tools from them, so I decided to give this one a go. My coworker saw it, tried it and bought one for himself. He dropped his a couple times off a six foot ladder and the reverse trigger stopped working so he’s already had to replace his.Other issues I’ve had with mine is the battery. One of the batteries will last me a week and the other only lasts two days. Lame. Also, I haven’t seen this battery size in any big box stores. It’s not a common battery and although I haven’t looked specifically for other tools that use this battery I haven’t seen any when searching Milwaukee’s other tools.Ergonomically it feels pretty good in my hand. I’m fairly ambidextrous and though it’s clearly designed for a right hand dominant person to use their thumb on the trigger I’ve felt no real inconvenience or major difficulties using it with my left hand both in forward and reverse.There are two settings 1-more torque less speed and 2-more speed less torque. I use both but find that 2 has nearly no torque to tighten a screw. The positioning of the switch is easy enough to reach but I wish the selector was where the lock/unlock switch is. Although I’ve driven a tech screw through 16 gauge steel with this it took a while and made me miss my impact drill.Size is pretty good, and the one handed quick release 1/4” chuck is great, lift the collar to remove the bit holder and just pop a different one in, no need to lift the collar again to seat the new one. This came in handy as the job I’m on needs a constant switch from flat head to Phillips.The clutch works nicely and the torque on 1 is good enough to tighten screws or small nuts down pretty securely.Overall I’m pretty impressed with this tool. Battery issue aside. Although my buddies breaking has me a little concerned with the long term durability of this screwdriver, Milwaukee usually stands 100% behind their products so I trust that if something happens they’ll make it right. ??I use this tool more than any other one in my tool pouch. Never runs out of battery... precision clutch that sets your screws or bolts with an exact foot pounds of pressure that you set... I've been using a Milwaukie screw driver since the early 80s... needs LEDs thoughHaven't used it yet but, coming with the charger & a SECOND battery is/ was GREAT. I didn't have to shop 4 those items. A charger & second battery are ABSOLUTE necessities!!!!!I bought the tool because I don’t have enough room in my tool bag for anything else. I like the fact that it has a spare battery and a lock that prevents accidental operation. I also like the adjustable clutch feature.LikedMala calidad. Malos terminados. Es un buen juguete. No sirve como herramienta.?
