Don't be fooled by its compact size, the Denali 3.6-volt lithium ion cordless screwdriver is a powerful tool for serious do-it-yourselfers. The ergonomically designed pistol-grip tool fits into the palm of your hand and weighs a mere 13 ounces. At its heart is a high-tech lithium-ion rechargeable battery that delivers 20 percent more torque—that is, turning power—than comparable nickel-cadmium batteries. And if you're tried of battery-powered tools that are always dead when you need them, you're going to love this Denali screwdriver: its lithium-ion battery will hold a charge for over 18 months! Leave it in your desk, under the kitchen sink, or on your workbench, and this little powerhouse will always be ready when you are. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge the battery the very first time, but after that, recharging takes between five and seven hours. The tool has a series of three battery indicator lights that lets you know when recharging is required. The Denali 3.6-volt Lithium Ion Cordless Screwdriver is ideal for all light- to medium-duty screw-driving and hole-drilling chores, including hanging curtain rods, drilling pilot holes for nails or screws, assembling furniture and toys, installing window shades, attaching cabinet hinges and door pulls, and countless other home repair and improvement projects. It's even equipped with an LED work light that makes it easy to work in dark spaces. The tool comes in a convenient zippered nylon case, along with the plug-in charger, and a 20-piece accessory kit (five titanium-coated drill bits, and 15 assorted screw-driving tips). -- Joseph Truini What's In The Box: Denali 3.6-volt lithium-ion cordless screwdriver, zippered storage case, plug-in charger, 20-piece accessory kit, wall mountable charger About Denali Named after the tallest mountain range in North America, Denali tools stand above the rest in providing an exceptional blend of quality craftsmanship, professional-grade features, and customer value.

 Great light-duty screwdriver. December 18, 2007
34 out of 35 found this review helpful
I bought this last month when it was on sale (happens to be the same price today). This has totally exceeded my expectations. I was looking for something to use for household projects instead of busting out my heavy 18v Hitachi Drill. This fit the bill perfectly. It's a must for furniture assembly and was a life saver when I redid my kitchen cabinets!
Pros:
- Comfortable and lightweight. No fatigue at all. This is a major issue when I use my "big drill" for driving screws and turning nuts/bolts.
- Great, long lasting power for its size. Thank you Li-Ion Battery! No worrying about discharging before recharging.
- LED Light is very bright. This has proven to be very handy. I actually leave the forward/reverse button in the center position. When you press the trigger, only the light comes on; makes for a great flashlight. (See customer image)
- Charging stand keeps the driver and bits within easy reach. I have it mounted in my utility room. (See customer image)
Cons:
- Seriously, none. Not at this price.
My favorite tool December 23, 2007
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Pros:
Smooth action with the right amount of torque for any small job.
Comfortable grip.
Terrific fit and finish.
Great little Cordura bag that holds the driver, charger, and all those bits;
but is compact and can be worn on your belt.
A better selection of Phillips bits than I've ever seen included with a driver or drill.
Holds charge a long time.
Cons:
If you're unfamiliar with how to switch modes from "lock" to "forward" and "reverse," you may have to read the instructions, or complain that it doesn't work.
Basically, it's perfect for driving screws and light drilling.
 Acceptable for Light Duty Jobs April 11, 2008
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
This drill, with accompanying accessories, works fine for VERY small jobs and with soft woods. However, when I used the 1/8" drill bit to create a pilot hole through a thin builder grade hardwood cabinet (to install a button handle) this was almost too much. I see why the 1/8" bit is the biggest one in the kit. After drilling the first two of 15 holes -- took over one minute each -- I brought out more heavy duty artillery. The price for this little drill set is a good deal but don't consider using it for anything more than very light duty projects.
 Simply not enough power January 20, 2008

I'm surprised the other critical reviews didn't mention this, but I guess that might be the difference between "light duty" and using it for a serious job. Not having a lot of experience/knowledge perhaps I should know what to expect with a 3.6v unit. Here are the circumstances under which I used it so you can be the judge:
I charged it up overnight, took it off the charger in the morning and used it late that day to install a chin-up bar which requires 5 screws on each side. I drilled the 5 holes (through the stud) on the first side with the unit which worked, but it was getting tough toward the end of each drill but they did go through, and then I tried to fasten the bracket on with the screws - the unit will not drive the screws in all the way. I had to finish the job using a manual screwdriver.
Incidentally, I got this for $30 as part of a goldbox deal, I see the REGULAR price has since DROPPED to $25 - so it looks like they're really trying to move these.
Some may say it is a good light-duty unit, good for what it is and the amount of power it has. I suppose in the end it depends on the application, but I just don't see the point of even having an electric screwdriver if there's just not that much power to it, thus the two star rating. I suppose in a situation where you just don't need a lot of power but a lot of repitition, perhaps repeatedly assembling manufactured furniture at a store or something. Otherwise I don't see it saving you much time over using a manual screwdriver.
Terrific for everyday use December 31, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.
