Nice power, nice weight, nice headlight. Don't think that the LED forward/reverse arrows are a bit of silliness: they are critical. Read on . . .
The problem is that the forward reverse "switch" falls right where either your thumb or forefinger will rest when ever you pick up the driver or are in the midst of driving a screw. The action on this switch is quite loose so that it is easily jarred away from what you are anticipating and/or need. It will change direction because of that looseness when you lay the driver down to reposition your work. Drives me nuts. I've had three other folks with different sized hands try this driver and they had the same frustration. Second "huh?" for the driver - look at the driver and then look at the right hand drive attachment. Yes, it's a "U" drive. Before you get excited about being the first on the block with a "U" drive, give it a try...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Skil iXO3 2346-05 3.6-Volt Li-Ion Cordless Driver (Tools & Home Improvement) This screwdriver does not have torque settings. Torque settings is what keeps you from overtorquing and stripping out your screws. Also, if you need to run screws after screws very quickly, you'll be severely disappointed with this screwdriver. Spend just a tad more and get the Hitachi DB3DL. It has torque settings, runs a lot faster, and comes w/ 2 rechargeable batteries. So, if one battery goes down, you can slip in the other one and continue working with no down time. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Skil iXO3 2346-05 3.6-Volt Li-Ion Cordless Driver (Tools & Home Improvement) I use it to put my ikea closet together... powerful enough to do the job. It is not for heavy duty but just right around the house. Love it ! |
