Cordless Screwdriver

by John McNamara

I'm not what you would call a "handy" person. I can't make repairs around the house; I can't assemble shelves, toys, or other products; and no one ever calls me when they need help with any of the above jobs. I don't even have a toolbox to speak of. Even so, there is one tool that I couldn't live without, and that's my cordless screwdriver.

With a cordless screwdriver in hand, I can quickly and easily complete many common chores. For example, whenever I need to hang up a picture or a piece of artwork, I immediately reach for my cordless screwdriver. In less than a minute, I've got my mounting screws up on the wall and ready for action. My cordless screwdriver is also convenient for removing panels on my personal computer, stereo, and small kitchen appliances in order to perform some routine cleaning.

Another reason that I love my cordless screwdriver so much is because it is so versatile outside the home, too. I spend a lot of time camping and fishing, and I just never know when I'm going to need to make some adjustments to my equipment or try to fix something while I'm enjoying the great outdoors. So I always make sure I bring my cordless screwdriver (with freshly charged batteries, of course) along with me whenever I go on one of my weekend trips.

If these reasons alone aren't enough to convince you, don't forget that a cordless screwdriver is perfect for those who suffer from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other ailments that prevent pain-free use of the hands and wrists.

People who are not familiar with power tools might be under the impression that a cordless screwdriver is too expensive for their purposes -- especially if they don't think they will use it very often. But that would only be true if you wanted to buy a heavy-duty cordless screwdriver that would be suitable for professional craftsmen. The ones that are intended for in-home use are very affordable, making them a must-have in my book.

Although you can purchase a cordless screwdriver at any home improvement center or hardware store, I recommend shopping online first. There are a lot of websites that offer huge discounts on all kinds of hand tools and power tools. You will be able to choose from many different cordless screwdrivers that have as many (or as few) features you want. For example, you can choose a very basic, compact model that will give you good performance and value without going overboard on extras. Or, you can choose a cordless screwdriver kit that will give you variable speeds, extra bits, adjustable head positions, and more.

As you can see, there are many good reasons for you to purchase a cordless screwdriver for your home. Check out some of the more popular models today and you'll soon realize how much easier it will be to complete the little chores in your life.
