Question 1

Different reviews seem to like the driver, but I get the impression that power is not its strong suit.  does it really have enough torque to drive screws for various home projects?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Definitely does the job on softer woods (e.g., basic 2x4s).  I have been using it on all my shelving projects  - mostly using #9 2-1/2" desk screws . The ability to change directions (in/out) makes it great for pre-drilling with a quick release drill bit without having to touch anything but the trigger.  I am also impressed by the amount of torque this can generate, and the amazing battery life - really a great tool.

Question 2

is it good for  tighten or loosening terminal blocks

Accepted Answer

What I found that sometimes when I barely turned the drill to start the drill was not enough and when I turned it a little further for more torque... The drill would some times spin out the screw head slot. This was more my fault because I should have looked at the choke setting on the chuck to adjust it to a lower setting. I found to loosen a screw was that first...make sure that the screw tip is the correct size for screw head slot. Next with the bit in the drill chuck, put the bit in the screw slot. Then WITHOUT turning on the drill, turn the screw manually to break the tightened connection. Then with the drill chuck choke adjustment mid way or low setting would easily loosen the screw slowly when I wanted to loosen slowly. Plus this saved some time and battery on multiple connections. To tighten I had to remember to set the choke setting low and it would tighten and then the choke action would (rattle). Then I could increase the choke setting 1-2 steps to ensure the screw terminal was tight. I hope I this helps.
