The screwdrivers are perfect for the same stuff the installation drivers are meant for: cabinet building and installation, furniture building, and anything involving driving many fasteners into tender materials. A drill can serve, but dealing with a drill chuck is a pita. And even the compact drills end up longer than a screwdriver or installation driver. With cabinets in particular I'm often moving between an Amana countersink and a driver bit. Yeah I could chuck it up in a drill and move around with a drill and driver, but it can be easier to just pop it in the installation driver and keep rockin when i need to drill/countersink a few holes(countersink has standard 1/4" shank). I love the dewalt 12v line. I just wish they cared about it. Their installation driver is better than the red one(I bought the red one twice and returned it over the stupid buttons twice). Anyways you asked so there ya go. I love your vids. There are a lot of people tryin to mimic your style but none of them know anything about the tools. You clearly do, and you stay on top of what pricing is actually good. I surf HD and Lowes in a big metro area and feel very on top of it, and you still find stuff at both I didnt catch.(I got a red transfer pump on the hack at hd recently thanks!) Keep up the good work, it's appreciated!
Cool. The cordless screwdriver is useful because it has lower speed and torque than an impact. Also, the clutch really comes in handy for snugging up bolts. I use it in automotive for pan bolts (I can set the clutch to bring them close to final torque spec) and interior stuff and in cabinetry for installing hardware. I have the brushed m12 one and an old Dewalt 7.2V NiCad unit.
I've seen videos of the Dewalt 12v screwdriver, and it seems to be a really handy power tool. It looks like an impact driver, but has a clutch like a drill.
I've had the DeWalt 12v extreme screw driver for a couple of years and it's the most used tool I own. I also have the impact driver and the drill, but I hardly ever use them. The screw driver's trigger has much better speed control for doing small tasks, and it has the power to drive large screws as well.
Skil is great! Bought a 12v bundle over two years ago and they are what I grab first. My kid keeps stealing the batteries because he forgets to charge his power pack.( But, such a great feature. Love the Skil Auto Hammer. I can hold it a bit longer than a hammer. Developed nerve damage in my hands 5+ years ago due to major spinal problems and it has been quite helpful. Keep up the great work Chris!
I use the DeWalt 12v for Appliance repair. I need a clutch because most of the screws I’m driving will strip if torqued and it is super compact to fit into tiny places. Most chucked drills are too long. The only thing that would make it better is if it had the m12 battery so the grip was smaller
The power detect drill is the previous flagship drill and the dcd1007 is the new flagship. Also has the anti kickback which power detect does not. Also when comparing it to home depot flexvolt advantage there were numeroud test showing the power detect drill actually edging out the flexvolt advantage despite what specs mite say. Now the other flexvolt advantage tools seem to edge out power detect but the drill seems to be the exception.
I feel like the screwdriver people use a lot of hex shank but they want the chuck. I use an installation driver with the basic plate like this for installing screws in woodworking projects a lot. Don't have a dedicated screwdriver like this though. The Bosch 12v install driver is better.
That 12v hex screwdriver looks shorter than a drill. It has a quick release collet. Adding a quick release collet in a drill makes it even longer. If you have to install a lot of screws, it looks like it’s going to be a bit better. But not a huge amount. Sometimes more money for a small improvement is worth it. If you bill $100/hr, having a comfier tool is well worth it.
I use milwaukee tools and mainly m12. My only dewalt tool i have is this screwdriver and i love it and use it most of the time. The grip is amazing, its got the led ring around the collet, its got the quick eject collet instead of a chuck, it accepts the bit holders on both sides so i mever have to bring a bit case with me, and its got the same strength and precision ability as the m12 fuel screwdriver and installation driver but way more ergonomic
I can understand an electric screwdriver in the "screwdriver" format, esp. for flat pack furniture, it is a bit more gentle and what. I can't understand it for the drill format like you showed there, you were spot on though in general about them - just use a drill.
So that Dewalt drill / screwdriver is half the size and half the weight of their 18 volt and is just as powerful I use it everyday it's a lifesaver it's my go-to tool and I would buy it 10 times over again. But if I did have to upgrade I would get the 5 and 1 Screwdriver
Screwdriver over drill is because of the mechanical chuck. Most big brand drills use crappy electronic chucks and they are not good at all for precision driving
And quick changing the bits. If I’m building an AV rack and I need to switch from a Phillips to a socket, it’s much easier. I can’t use an impact on those or else I’d risk stripping out a screw head (ask me why I know). Screwdrivers have a good amount of torque but at lower RPMs so you have better control
Got another giveaway coming soon!

I got skil then canceled it. I saw the blower and oscillating took for $60 in stock with free shipping. Might want to check it out

I have the m18 brushed recip,over 5yrs and still going strong!!! Thanks Chris!!!!!
Great to hear! I try to tell people, just because it's brushed doesn't mean it's bad!

The DeWalt 12v grip is smaller than the M12. It fits the hand much better. Are you talking about the overall size including the battery?
That Skil oscillating tool is great, you dont feel the vibration.
Sweet! If I didn't have 5 I'd grab it LOL

That is true when you factor in costs per time!
@@ToolDeals Cost per time is a bit interesting, because if you bill per hour, do you *really* want to be extra fast? :)
Thanks for your time Chris, we appreciate you 🦇
Thanks Keith!

I actually owned this 2 years ago and sold it when i got more into m12, and i quickly bought another one
I agree with the ergonomics of it!
@@ToolDeals you have 12v xtreme derrangement syndrome. I just wish they was more of a line up

RIght! I do get they're more gentle but you can make a drill gentle in this format. But I do understand the other grip though.
Some nice deals ty I like the glasses
It is a sweet little deal!

601 is lighter and and out performs the 12v impact in certain applications plus its smaller length
Good to know!
The Skil 12v line seems pretty impressive for the price
It is! They've got some 20v tools for sale too.
