Denali 3.6V Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver Kit With Wall-Mountable Charger

Don't be fooled by its compact size, the Denali 3.6-volt lithium ion cordless screwdriver is a powerful tool for serious do-it-yourselfers. The ergonomically designed pistol-grip tool fits into the palm of your hand and weighs a mere 13 ounces. At its heart is a high-tech lithium-ion rechargeable battery that delivers 20 percent more torque—that is, turning power—than comparable nickel-cadmium batteries.

And if you're tried of battery-powered tools that are always dead when you need them, you're going to love this Denali screwdriver: its lithium-ion battery will hold a charge for over 18 months! Leave it in your desk, under the kitchen sink, or on your workbench, and this little powerhouse will always be ready when you are. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge the battery the very first time, but after that, recharging takes between five and seven hours. The tool has a series of three battery indicator lights that lets you know when recharging is required.

The Denali 3.6-volt Lithium Ion Cordless Screwdriver is ideal for all light- to medium-duty screw-driving and hole-drilling chores, including hanging curtain rods, drilling pilot holes for nails or screws, assembling furniture and toys, installing window shades, attaching cabinet hinges and door pulls, and countless other home repair and improvement projects. It's even equipped with an LED work light that makes it easy to work in dark spaces. The tool comes in a convenient zippered nylon case, along with the plug-in charger, and a 20-piece accessory kit (five titanium-coated drill bits, and 15 assorted screw-driving tips). -- Joseph Truini

Denali is just an amazing company. Truly amazing. They packed so many features into such a tiny package that the selling price of this unit had me asking "what's the catch?" or "did they fall off the back of a truck?"

Ok, for starters, everything ships in a convenient small box that is easy to wrap if giving it as a Christmas or birthday gift. Shipping box is, maybe, 8in x 8in x 8in. Inside the box are two neatly wrapped pieces. One piece contains the plastic stand-up charger. The other contains the Denali bag -- which contains the driver, the drill bits, and the screwdriver bits.

Let's talk about the battery itself. The battery is lithium-ion so you can leave it in the charger all day long without worrying about running down the battery. Speaking of the battery, the unit carries a charge for at least a day. Light user will get 2-3 days from it easy. On the driver are three LEDs (red, yellow, green) that tell the state of the battery.

The driver has a standard trigger plus a forward/reverse toggle button. The best part? It also includes a flashlight! Built-in under the socket is a small flashlight, which is great for lighting up those hard-to get places. The driver is small enough to toss into a bag or toolbox.

The bag of included bits contains the usual screwdriver bits (flathead and Phillips) plus some drill bits for light drilling. Oh, the bag has a belt clip on it so you can take the unit with you anywhere.

I couldn't be happier for the price. In fact, it was so good, I bought five more for co-workers (they are field engineers). Highly recommend -- although it appears Amazon isn't selling them anymore.

Reasonable strength, simple to use, good selection of bits and nice carrying case. Not for a serious job, but great for that kitchen tool. It made a great gift.

I purchased this screwdriver after reading up on the positive reviews it received from other buyers.
I was disappointed that it broke in just about a month of use.
I used it about four times a week. As a cable repair man, I purchased it as a replacement for my manual screwdriver to do light duty work, i.e. unscrewing wall plates and occasionally mounting cable. It's power was good enough for this light duty work and it kept my wrists from getting tired of repetitive tasks. It worked well enough until it broke just about in half while screwing in a screw on the outside of a house.
When my refund is processed, I will be looking for a tougher, stronger drill.
This drill is apparently meant for lighter, more occasional duty than I was using it for.

I have owned this tool for 1 year now. It's a very handy tool.

Pro:
1. Li-Ion battery is really good to keep the power for long.
Li-Ion battery has not memory effect, so you can just charge it whenever you want.
2. The small LED nose-light is pretty handy to work under low-light condition.
3, The size of this tool is small for working in tight area.
4. The included drilling bits serve good use too. This tool works well for light duty drilling purpose.

Con:
1. Technically, this is really not a "con"...due to the small size and lower voltage range, this tool does not have strong torgue. So, I have to use my 18V power drill for heavy duty tasks.

Again, this is a 3.6V power tool, not a 19.2V or 24V power tool. So it has its limitations in power, speed and torque. Do not expect it to handle heavy duty tasks. For light and medium duty tasks around the house, you will be happy with it.

The work light on this tool did not have an on/off switch, it only worked with the trigger. This is very annoying.
