Small cordless screwdriver for electrical device screws
Having watched the electrician wire up our house extension and use a small
electric screwdriver to whiz small screws in and out, I bought a cheap Workzone one which did me fine. However after 4 years in storage it won't charge (NSS). So can anyone recommend a good quality small electric screwdriver for not too much money? I have no doubt that the Bosch ones are good but they are also a bit pricey.

I've also got a couple of Aldi ones (Workzone?), a cheap looking one and a more robust looking one. The robust one seems to have more 'umpf' but it is newer so it could just be the older one's batteries are failing. The robust Aldi one is on a par performance wise with the B&D one but the latter has a few features such as multi-bit holder etc. -- Smile for the camera ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxyL2_38EsQ https://www.gov.uk/report-benefit-fraud https://www.jobcentreguide.org/claim...-benefit-fraud https://childsworldamerica.org/anima...o-child-abuse/ |

Small cordless screwdriver for electrical device screws
Can the battery pack not be replaced, or maybe the charger is knackered.

Rating my time at a very low per hour cost I think that refurbishing a £15
or so screwdriver will not be cost effective. Not true to the principles of make do and mend, but I have to remind myself that sometimes cost benefit analysis should be used. :-) Cheers Dave R On Tue, 02 Jul 2019 17:57:40 +0100, Brian Gaff wrote: Can the battery pack not be replaced, or maybe the charger is knackered.

About £15, which is about half the price of the little Bosch. Aldi have taken some of the guesswork out of it all with an online service: https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/diy/tools Everything except screwdrivers :-) -- Cheers, Rob |

Although pity it doesn't have what the OP wants. If they keep everything in stock, logic says they can't match the special offers in Lidl. -- *Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
