I like the size and the fact that it’s handy. I don’t like the fact that the electric charger is “proprietary”, so it cannot be used with other chargers. Maybe this is to protect the power input from being too much. I would like a bit more power behind the screwdriver, but it’s useable and it does the job. Don’t think it will be like a drill. It is not.

I purchased this to replace one that I had lost a couple of months ago while climbing up my sailboat’s mast. The tool bucked slipped out of my hand and when it crashed on the deck the hand drill spilled out and into to water. This had become one of my most “Go To Tools” and I had to replace it immediately. I was pleased with the light that is on the new model. It is light, a workhorse, the battery lasts and will easily charge when needed. The adjustable handle adjusts to different angles if needed. This tool will make replacing, or adding screws to any project a breeze.

Really good screw driver with a long battery life. This is the second one I own the first still works but the wife missed placed my charger and it was cheaper to buy all new tool than the charger itself

This is a very easy tool to use. It is perfect to fit un smaller places where your drill cannot fit. I really like the LED attachment and the trigger activation for the screwdriver. The only issue I uave is it comes with 2 bits and there is not a place to hold the 2nd bit. This is a great 2 in 1 tool any garage or household needs at a great price

I was looking for something stronger than a flimsy electronics driver, that one looks like a pen. FYI, for a PC assembly job, having a high torque is a disaster. I would say it should be less than 2.5 Nm.
As others say, the torque is ridiculously low which is a blessing for PC assembly job. At least the torque is stong enough to install PC chasis fans without problem. Those pen type drivers cannot even rotate for those plastic frames of cooling fans. These days, high performance PCs need a lot of airflow which means many of those chasis fans need to be installed. And screwing 4 screws onto those plastic frames by hand is quite harrowing experience. At least this screwdriver can do this job very effectively.
The flexible handle is also useful when screwing those fans onto multiple places of an airflow case. Nice touch!
The lack of bit latching is not much of problem in PC building since upside down position, which mostly end up losing the bits, is usually done with long, 6 inches at least, bits. They are easier to hold on even with this weak magnet. Why do you need such long bits? Check up any modern CPU cooler and their height!
Lastly, the bright lamp helps a lot when wirking with tight space cabling jobs. Especially when working with case front panel to motherboard connectors. Those 0.1 inch pins usually shaded by one’s own hand! Also helpful when checking internals of a PSU and.. when taking my dog out after dark.
All good, but I have a gripe… retracted one star…
Why do you have to use propriatary charging port?? This screwdriver is obviously powered by a single 18650 cell and there are tons of extremely tiny USB to 18650 single cell charging systems. What is the point in packing with a power brick? Everyone has those tiny 5V charger these days! And USB charging cables are dirt cheap!
Other than that, this screwdriver just became my go-to solution for PC building and maintenence.

Initially hesitant about adding another battery charger to my collection, I decided to go for the BLACK+DECKER 4V MAX* Cordless Screwdriver with LED Light (BDCSFL20C), swayed by its affordability compared to pricier alternatives like Dewalt or Ryobi. After reading several positive reviews, my decision was made, and I haven’t looked back. This screwdriver fits comfortably in one hand and offers adjustable angles for versatile use, greatly exceeding my expectations. The inclusion of a small flashlight was a pleasant surprise, adding unexpected value and convenience to the tool. It performs excellently for both screwing in and removing screws, proving to be a great value for its price. Overall, this tool has become an unexpectedly essential part of my toolkit.

This is by far of the best products I’ve ever bought on Amazon. I purchased a storage cabinet and a dresser on Amazon. I noticed that I needed one of this in order to make my assembly project easier and faster. This little guy delivered! It is very powerful with a long lasting battery. It brings a charger and two drill bits. My favorite feature is the LED flash. What a great invention it is a lifesaver. It’s very handy, lightweight and a very reliable tool that everyone should have in their toolbox or car. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. Excellent value for the money and I highly recommend.

My little screw gun was delivered yesterday and I put it on charge. When the red LED on the charger went out. I started to part out a air purifier that died. In my area they don’t recycle devices in one piece. This review is based on my first impression. I was very surprised with the way my Black and Decker performed. It was comfortable to hold and the light came in handy. I didn’t use the bits that came with it. My magnetized quick change bit fit perfectly with out any wobble. I didn’t expect much in the line of power and expected to use a regular screwdriver to break the screws loose and then remove them with the screw gun. Much to my surprise that wasn’t the case. The little screw gun performed well above my expectations!! I can’t comment on battery life or durability now but if there’s a problem will update this review. Richard Burr

I got tired of dragging my cordless drill over to my friend’s place everytime there was a job that needed more than a manual screwdriver (usually putting some type of furniture together). After seeing the reviews for this, I thought it would fit her needs (and mine), which it did and then some. It’s lightweight, has just the right amount of power for small jobs, and fits in spaces my drill can’t. I really like that it’s adjustable and the light is a great added bonus. This is the perfect accesory for your tool kit if you don’t need a full on drill.

I owned a Black & Decker electric screw driver but it stopped holding a full charge and was too weak (it was old and worn out)
So i decided to buy this NEW electric screw driver and i love it, it’s close to perfect.
I thought my package was stolen, instead of waiting i ordered a 2nd replacement electric screw driver.
Next day, my package (that i thought was stolen) arrived…..So this is why i ended up with 2 of these screw drivers which worked out for me because….
CHECK OUT THE PHOTO I UPLOADED…
The screw driver has a white little switch on it:
The middle is POWER OFF LEFT is counter clockwise RIGHT is clockwise.
As i was building this wall cabinet, i switched the screw driver LEFT for counter clockwise rotation (to loosen screws). And when i tried to activate the screw driver, it worked but as soon as i tried to do anything with the screw driver bit, the rotation would stop.
After i inspected the screw driver i realized the issue was this white switch. The switch kept getting stuck and not fully going into the LEFT position. If it’s not fully in the left position it won’t work well. It may spin but it won’t have enough power to fully spin. I tested this by activating the screw driver so it would spin, as soon as i touched the screw driver bit with my finger it would stop spinning.
THE SOLUTION: PUSH the white switch HARD into the left position so it’s fully in that position (You should not have to do this)
So i returned the defective screw driver and i kept the one that was good.
AND SO FAR, i haven’t had any problems with the other screw driver. I’ve used it many times. Very satisfied with it.
____________________
OTHER SMALL ISSUES:
The LED flash light adds some bulk to the screw driver so when screwing screws at the tight corners of the wall cabinet, it did became a tiny bit tricky (but not impossible) to use.
Black & Decker makes attachments for this screw driver for really tight corners. That might have helped i don’t know.
____________________
PROS:
– It’s VERY powerful NOT as powerful as a drill but it’s the next best thing for all sorts of tasks. It made building the cabinet much faster and saved my forearm / wrist from doing too much work. (No soreness after)
So if you’re older, have issues with your forearms and wrist. I think this product will be very helpful for you.
– LED Flash light, i love it. It’s pretty bright and useful. Comes in handy.
– Battery, it last a very long time i don’t know for how long but it’s never run out on me yet.
– It comes with 2 different drill bits, flathead and Philips-head screw (One sided bits)
____________________
CONS:
– Double sided drill bit heads, they don’t really fit in this screw driver. I mean, i was able to fit one from my previous electric black & decker screw driver. It fit, it slightly worked but it was a bit loose. (No pun intended)
To make things worse, there’s nothing on the screw driver that will allow you to hold the other screw driver bit.
So i did what other people did, i took a rubber band put it around the screw driver and i slipped the other screw driver bit under it to hold it.
Owners of this screw driver should not have to do that. Make the electric screw driver shaft longer to fit a double sided drill bit and it’ll be even better and if you don’t do that at least design the screw driver plastic to have a open notch to hold another drill bit.
– Screw driver activation button, i think it could be positioned a little better. I think it should have been made to be a thumb button in that area under the white switch.
____________________
IN CONCLUSION:
This product is really good. The only thing you need to fear is the white switch. That seems to be the most likely place this device will fail. Keep an eye out for that.
AND NO, you can’t drill holes into your wall with this screw driver, it’s not THAT strong.
Besides that, i recommend this product i think it’s really good and worth the purchase.
