Tools and Hardware Reviews of Denali 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver Kit with Wall-Mountable Charger
Customer Review: Terrific for everyday use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to replace my Black & Decker cordless screwdriver which was about 5 years old and which had begun to show lots of wear and tear. I figured I had nothing to lose at the price. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a fairly powerful driver for everyday use which is compact and ergonomic. It was already partly charged so the first this I did after opening the package was to test it out by mounting the holder to my laundry room wall. It comes with more than enough bits for any task and I love the fact that you can store most of the bits in the mounting bracket making for easy access. The instructions say not to leave the charger in the bracket once it's fully charged.
Once it was charged I used it to replace the wood screws in the 3 hinges of a heavy duty outside door. It was more than up to the task.
A good deal at 3 times the price. I'm very happy with this unit.
Customer Review: Very Handy - REALLY long battery life makes it great in the house
Summary: 5 Stars
Have had this for over 3 years - lost it and needed a replacement. So went hunting for a new household cordless screwdriver and disappointed at what's out there. I don't need a cordless drill (which I have) but a handy little screwdriver for the little jobs that pop up all the time. Anyway, the cordless drill is to big for many jobs like those endless "assembly required" tasks. Plenty of power for all the usual screwdriver jobs and minor drilling like wall board. But the biggest advantage and the reason why I looked so hard for this particular cordless is the LONG-LASTING battery between charges. I leave it in the case and in the house for weeks and months between use and it always has a charge. Of course, I charge it up after some use, but then put it away, so it doesn't have to stay in the charger all the time.
Yes, I did buy this again.
Customer Review: A surprising disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Not Quite There
Summary: 2 Stars
I have owned this tool for a bit over a year. It was OK for light tasks, but for anything heavier or of long duration it fell short. I should say that my time of ownership did not include very much use. Once in awhile I would pull it out, perhaps to assemble something. It would turn a long screw in well enough, but did not have the torque to really tighten. So I had to use a manual driver to provide final tightening. It also would not drive too many screws without a recharge, which takes some time, so there I am with my manual driver again.
It has a nice feel and a great assortment of bits. The light is a big help. But now it will not take a charge and just gives a pathetic little moan when I pull the trigger. I trashed it, but kept the bits.
Customer Review: Nice screwdriver, but......
Summary: 3 Stars
I have purchased this item for my work. I do alarm/security work and need something small like this item to screw in small security equipment. Screwdriver did the job, but it lacks some power. Takes a bit longer to screw screw into wall.If Denali could add more power to this screwdriver it would be great and awesome product.

I have replaced this thing 2 times. First time LED was dead. Second time it died after I was using it for 4 weeks. I was screwing all day small magnetic contacts into wooden windows and using small screws. After it Amazon refused to replace it for 3rd time.
In my opinion this thing is not for professional every day use, maybe for once in a while use.
