I've owned a number of rechargeable screwdrivers. This Craftsman 4V unit is the best of the lot. It is fairly small. Has 2 speeds the low speed is geared for torque to drive tougher screws. The LED light is actually useful, contrary to some others. The quick grip chuck requires use of a magnetic hex shank bit holder, but these are commonly available and one comes with the unit. No clunky reversing button forward/reverse is top/bottom of the trigger. Balance is good, so you can use it upside down in limited access locations. The lithium-ion battery holds a charge for a very long time, and gives more than 50 screws driven, even with #12 size and torque. The variable clutch works well, although I can't see much use for the lower settings. My only complaint is that Sears doesn't seem to carry parts for this unit, a major departure from the history of Craftsman. I lose or damage chargers, and if Sears sells a separate replacement for this driver, I can't find it. When not on sale, this driver is pricey 25% more than the competition, but you can almost always find it discounted.
All in all, a very capable power screwdriver, with an excellent Lithium-ion battery. I'd buy another. In fact, I have bought 4.
