BLACK+DECKER Cordless Screwdriver, Alkaline (BCF601AA)

It is the only option for removable batteries. I did like the extension. I wish they would have a torque setting. But all in all it is good.

Excelente producto. Versátil y cómodo de usar.

This was purchased by me to replace my old power screwdriver that used a lithium battery which was nonreplaceable, which is why I chose this screwdriver that used alkaline batteries that are replaceable. However, I was unable to open the cap myself to insert the alkaline batteries, and had to find someone with strong hands to do it for me. This was a nuisance, as I wanted a power screwdriver to be easier to use than a manual screwdriver. The power of the screwdriver was also less than my old power screwdriver with lithium battery, and also less than I expected based on my experience with my old power screwdriver.

I like the power of this battery operated screwdriver, and that it now comes with an extension attachment, HOWEVER, my only complaint is that I have to carry around or go and find the tips when I need to change from phillips to flathead or vise versa! The older model had the phillips/flathead screwdriver tip so you could just flip it over to use whichever you needed! I'm a bit disappointed this newer model no longer has that capability, but I still prefer black & decker over other brands! My last model of this product has lasted over 30 years and still works! It's just loose around the lock-in-place area! Another plus is that other brand tips also work with this new model!

It’s nice not to have to remember to charge it. One of the few things in my life these days that I don’t have to go hunting for a USB brick. Three good old AA batteries does the trick about every six months or so. Bought it in May 2021 and still going strong. This is the champ.

This thing doesn't over-torque so you have less risk of stripping things. It is like a home improvement artist designed this thing. It has the best overall fee and utility of any tool I own. It is perfection.When you let off the power button, it functions like a normal screw driver and you can hand tighten things without changing any other settings.The bottom line is if you are a novice at home improvement or want something that won't destroy what you are working on, this is good.No stupid built in rechargeable batteries either. So if it dies I can change the batteries in 2 min vs charging it. Just get enloop rechargeable batteries if you want to be a true environmentalist.It uses standard drill bits. So say you are putting together furniture with allen wrench type screws. Just go to the hardware store and buy allen wrench drill bits and you are good to go.I have a ton of tools, including a lot of screw guns that are much more powerful than this. This is my go to for basic stuff due to the feel it has. If you have a kid in college or an apartment this would be a good start for them to get into power tools.

I have other chargeable drills/screw drivers and was looking for screw drivers with batteries. As a landlord, I rarely need it. So, when I need it sometimes they are discharged. It seems to be pretty much the "only" alkaline battery (not needing to be charged). Build is strong and feels well in the hands.I am giving it 3(*) because,1. I only used it twice during last few days. The batteries that came with they depleted fast.2. Switching direction needs two hands. I am not sure why B&D couldn't make switching easier by one hand. Not a difficult improvement.3. I wish, there could have been a way to store at least one bit.I like the feel of this screw driver. If better quality batteries last longer, I could go for a higher rating.I like the LED lights. If there were a way to switch the lights off when needed, perhaps would have improved the battery life.

I use this tool all the time! Great to have on hand! I have (2)!
