Because of its flexibility and portability, the SKIL Twist is the perfect screwdriver for your home, office, or work room.

Customer Reviews

Quality/solid build, functional. Met and exceeded my expectations5
I did not expect a lot when I ordered this little cordless screwdriver at one of them Amazon lightning deals specials but, it turns out, this is one rare case where the item delivered met AND exceeded my expectations.

Let me first deal with the no-so-good aspects so if anyone has those as a 'must have' they can stop reading and look for something else.

- There is no easy way to store the 2 provided bits. Some screwdrivers provide some storage for bits, usually in the handle but this one does not. On the other hand, it's using standard bits so there's no danger for it to become useless because one bit was lost.
- Yes, it's not suited for heavy duty work. This is not a 'professional' tool.

Now, for the other (good) features:

- The adjustable handle feature allows for it to be used with either a pistol grip or an in-line (straight) grip.
- The one LED light can be turned on whenever better visibility is needed.
- The bit holder is always locked when not in use. This way, whenever higher torque is needed, you can operate it by hand and you can have a lot of torque when it's in the 'pistol grip' configuration.
- The trigger lock also operates as a forward-reverse lever.
- Green/yellow indicator lights tell you whether you are operating it in forward or reverse.
- Magnetic 1/4" hex-shank bit holder uses standard bits - Phillips and flat bit are provided.
- Surprisingly solid built with what appear to be good-quality materials. It has that feel that it's going to last forever.

Let me restate that I am VERY pleased with this purchase. The shape-shifting (pistol/in-line grip) makes for a most versatile tool whenever a lot of power is not required. While not 'professional grade', this Skil screwdriver feels like a solid, well-built, reliable tool. In addition, its small size makes it for a perfect 'entry level' tool that my pre-teen boys will be able to use without them being intimidated by too large a size.

Handy Little Screwdriver5
I love this cordless screwdriver. I use it all the time. It is the perfect size. It's really good for lots of odds and ends around the house, like assembling furniture and especially good for tight places
because of it's compact size. Makes hanging curtains and blinds a breeze.
It's a really quick way to change batteries in toys too. Don't know what i did without this. The really great thing is that it can be used straight or twist to use at an angle. Overall good design. rp

Awesome entry level power screwdriver5
I've been using this for almost three years now. It's a very handy tool, great for using around the house, especially things that require very long screws.

Pros:
-It's lightweight so you can work upside down without your arm getting tired unlike the heavy duty power drivers.
-It's convenient so when you need it right away, it's already charged and ready to go.
-Long lasting Lithium Ion batteries allows me to work on a job for over an hour at a time. Recently, I've been able to take down and put back up curtain rods for the whole house without a recharge when repainting my walls. And this is after I've had it for over 3 years so the you can tell that the rechargeable batteries are really good.
-Great price.

Cons:
-Limited bits. That's minor and I was able to go out and buy an extra set of bits to complement this. Be sure to get magnetic ones (they are so helpful when aligning the screws with no hands.
-Lower power than the professional cordless ones. This is also minor for me. I am able to do all the work around the household including furniture assembly and such. As long as you're not changing tires or other heavy duty work, you should be okay.
-The direction reversing toggle sometimes gets stuck on neutral when you're using the screwdriver. Again minor.

If you are using manual screwdrivers, you definitely need to get this. It will save you time and strain on your wrist/arm.
