I've had a lot of powered handtools in the past. The problem is always the darn rechargable cad batteries, they die too fast!. But buy this B&D VPX like I did and I know you'll be happy with it. I promise! Looks great, feels solid, plenty of power, dual torque settings, beautiful, sturdy case and quality bitset included. And it will drill too! Black and Decker, my hat is off to you once again. These VPX batteries hold their charge! I've got two of them and rotate them in the charger. Finally, no more dead electric screwdriver when I need it most!
My first impression of this tool is it looks like a little toy out of a kids toolbox. I would actually give it to a kid if it was not 42 bucks ! The tool is lightweight in a not so good way. Lightweight like cheap. The trigger once pulled starts the tip turning but when you release it there is no brake so the tip keeps revolving a half to three quarters of a turn. Not for precision work. Something like this really needs a variable speed trigger. And at this price point it should have one. After unboxing it went right back in. If you are a homeowner that needs a little screwdriver for putting Ikea stuff together this may work for you. But me personally I would spend a little extra and get some good quality.
I service office electronic equipment and need to R&R many machine screws. This little baby makes short work of it. Almost always use the high speed and the bit set is an extra little bonus. For $100, never but for around $30, it's great. Battery lasts for better than a week. I may pick up more tools from this line as B&D is discontinuing them. It is strictly on-off, no variable speed, but you get used to it.
THIS LITTLE SCREW DRIVER WILL SUPRIZE YOU WITH ITS POWER! I FIND IT TO HAVE MORE POWER THAN MY SNAP-ON DRIVER THAT IS THREE TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE.I WAS ALSO ABLE TO TO GET A COUPON ON LINE FOR AN EXTRA FREE BATTERY. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD TOOL,I USE ONE AT WORK EVERY DAY & I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE FOR HOME USE. I AM 58 YEARS OLD AND ANY TOOL THAT CAN MAKE WORK EASIER & FASTER IS A BIG HELP TO ME.THE BATTERY IS GIVES EXCELLENT SERVICE ALSO.Black & Decker VPX1101X Li-Ion VPX 7-Volt Screw Driver
Without a clutch this driver is handicapped. I build computers and need a driver for the many screws that have to be removed and replaced. I use the Black & Decker VPX1201 Drill Driver because it has a clutch. A bit heavier but the clutch makes all the difference!

Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries.

With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VPX battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

Easy to grip and comfortably lightweight, the VPX1101X fits conveniently in your palm, and it gets into cramped quarters that other power tools can’t reach. You can even use it under counter tops or behind sinks, around corners or between pieces of furniture. The VPX1101X also features a spindle lock that helps to start and finish screws, and it lets you set the screwdriver for manual operation under tricky conditions.
