Tonino lamborgini screwdriver

Nice powerful screwdriver well designed and made to last. Led lights at the back to let you know when to charge it up. A modern designer look to this screwdriver that does the job.

driver review

Drill driver comes very well presented and at the price I paid represents ( it was on offer at the time) quite good value. Only problem I've had is the poor battery life, constantly having to recharge but does the job.

dutch socket needed

It looks very nice but you can not charge it on a dutch socket. They should give it when it's sold in the Netherlands at the moment I cannot find a good unit for the charger

A reasonable driver, but no variable speed

» Reviewed on 2008-10-16 and 7 persons (100%) found this helpful.

This driver has an attractive design which is lightweight, comfortable to hold and compact. The plastic charger base is quite convenient as it holds the supplied driver bits as well as the driver while it's charging, plus it can be wall mounted. The Lithium-Ion battery is a major plus - it lasts longer than old fashioned Ni-MH and NiCd batteries and has no memory effect so you can recharge it whether its completely empty or almost full with no ill effects. However, the 3.6V rating is only middle of the road so, as other reviewers have stated, this driver doesn't really have enough power for serious carpentry but is perfectly adequate for flat pack assembly. I was impressed with the novel battery status lights feature. You can press a small button to get a fairly accurate idea of the amount of juice left in the batteries via 3 tiny traffic light LEDs on the top of the driver. It's such a simple idea but I've never seen this on any other similar products. The main LED spotlight is also useful if you're working in a gloomy cupboard! I do have one significant complaint: in the description for this product, Amazon say this driver features "variable speed and reversing", but they're only half right. Obviously you can rotate clockwise or anticlockwise, but there's no speed control. It's either on at full speed or it's off. Personally, I was a bit disappointed that this feature was missing as I'm used to having it. So overall, this is a pretty good electric screwdriver that will serve the average DIYer pretty well, but the lack of speed control limits its effectiveness a bit. 4 stars!

Classy little screwdriver

Looks ace! First of all, ditch the tin. If you're like me it's just overkill to have that kind of packaging when the charging dock can be fixed to a wall, or tucked away in a drawer. Seriously, why the tin? The selection of bits is typical and typically useful. I BELIEVE the drill uses standard bits so you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a wider selection cheap. Specifically the included bits have flat screwdriver blades that are too narrow for most jobs you'll be using this with, leading to potential "gnawing" at the screw head. Perfectly okay if you're careful but worth mentioning. The drill itself is a joy to use, fits my hand perfectly and seems to last an age on a full charge. Assembling flatpack is what this sort of tool is born for and it manages very well, narrow bladed bits notwithstanding. As other reviews have mentioned if you're hoping to use this for more general carpentry then the drill suffers as much as but no worse than a lot of larger screwdrivers - it just doesn't have the same power as the human arm/wrist and at times you'll need to either start or finish jobs manually. Worth every penny if you're an Ikea addict!
