Tools and Hardware Reviews of Denali 3.6-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Screwdriver Kit with Wall-Mountable Charger
Customer Review: A $100 screwdriver for $24
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: It Was a Hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.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: Excellent handy tool.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Problem

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