Anyone have one??? Are they junk? A black Friday sale has them for 9.95. Of course its not the top model, but for under 10.00, can I go wrong?

If you go for it please post your thoughts. I for one know that not ALL B&D is bad.

Hello,

Of course its not the top model, but for under 10.00, can I go wrong?

Go for it!
I have two B&D low end cordless screwdrivers.
One is 3.6V (4-AA batteries) and the other is a 2.something volt rechagable.

There's tons of places a low torque/low RPM cordless is just perfect for the job.

W/3 rental houses, I'm forever removing/rescrewing something or other - cabinet hinges, door knobs, cabinet hardware, switch plates/outlet covers, etc.

High torque and a lot of drive oomph, is good for driving fasteners intitialy.
It's also good for stripping out screws in older work/rework.

I have one of the VPX screwdrivers that I bought in a kit on clearance at Lowes.


Here's what I found:

Good:
1. It will drive over 60 1 1/2" screws into a 2X4 on one charge.
2. Light weight.
3. 2 torque settings

Bad:
1. Clunky controls/switches
2. Very long charge time 3+hours
3. No variable speed

The flashlight and the little cut saw are my favorite in the kit.
