Yankee screwdrivers are hopeless compared to even the cheapest cordless screwdriver. It's not just the terrible mechanism, the drill bit geometry was way off too. Plus any sort of powerered screwdriver doesn't work well in an era of mostly slotted screws. It was just better than nothing.


Having used cordless drills in screwdriver mode for very many years I
purchased a cordless impact driver. It's another tool I wish I had
purchased earlier.


I got one from Lidl. It's pathetic & never used.


Mine is a Makita. It's not the new brushless model but takes the same
batteries as my old Makita cordless drill so not a lot of money for the
body.
