Re: cordless screwdriver
I go for the good old “Green” model batteries NEVER run out and you won’t find a lighter one AND it takes up so little space!
P.S. It’s not for drilling holes 😳

It’s been a few years since I’ve seen one of them. Do people honestly still use them??
Re: cordless screwdriver
Yup, I still use one for stuff in the house and wouldn’t be parted from my “Yankee” driver. It’s much better (IMO) for working with wood and boards as you can “feel”with it instead of ripping things apart with an electric.
Don’t need to worry about running out of charge either. 😉

Re: cordless screwdriver
I’ve had many, most were crap. In fact I’ve had a few that are the identical chassis to the ryobi in the OP. I’ve had au$60 bosch one too.
The best ever has been a cheapy one only available here probably. Maybe there’s a rebadged version over there that you’ll recognise from the picture. main thing to know is there’s a button on the top you hold and the handle turns so it’s a straight cylindrical shape.
Costs $20 here goes 5 days on a single charge, first one lasted 3 years, has more torque than other cheapies.
http://www.ozito.com.au/36v-lithium-ion … crewdriverOzito is a brand name that a local hardware shop uses for their exclusive cheap gear. Can be hit and miss. Redid all my wooden floor sanding with their stuff, lots of tradies use their rotary hammers for core drilling (mine cost $60 and is 5 years old and still going). Other stuff not so good. but pleasantly surprised with the rotary hammer and battery screwdriver. As it’s generic chinese maybe someone over there sells the same thing under a different name.
But that ryobi in the OP looks exactly like one of the crappy ones I tried before I bought the ozito one.
I’ve got plenty of drills and drill/drivers, being in the a/c game as well as fridges, but I want something small and light that lives in the toolbag, that’s why I use this cheapy, and it has been better than some big name battery screwdrivers.
edit:
This screwdriver is just to remove fridge panels and a/c panel screws, don’t need a drill/driver for that.Re: cordless screwdriver
Mine is a 12v Ryobi CHD-1201, comes with LED light below handle and a lit up spirit level at top. Battery life is not so good, so invest in a spare battery and jobs a good an.
