Hardly any do-it-yourselfer will start a new project without a cordless screwdriver. The most popular variants include the 18-volt models, which are still small and handy enough to remain flexible in use. On the other hand, good cordless screwdrivers in this class still offer enough power for pretty much all standard tasks. In many cases, the classic corded drill/driver can simply stay in the closet.
But what you should definitely keep in mind before you buy: If you already own cordless tools from a certain brand, you should check whether these batteries can also be used for the cordless screwdriver of the same brand – this will save you quite a bit in accessory costs. Because most manufacturers use their own battery design that is not compatible with the devices of the competition.
