looking for a screw driver.

I use corded screw drivers cquse I dont like to be held up waiting for batteries to recharge. the problem is I have a dewalt a milwalkie and a skill, after the first hour they all weigh 100 lbs.

what I am looking for is a light weight inexpensive small corded driver just as fast as my big ones. any Ideas.

I understand that you are looking for a corded driver but I might suggest the kobalt double drive. I got one from work as a gift and it is now one of my most valuable tools when dismantling items with different screws. It's cheap and a great tool to have in the toolbox.

When you say corded screw driver do you mean like a screw shooter like you would use for hanging drywall? If so Ryobi has a lite drywal gun. It's not powerfull enough to drive lets say 3 1/2" decking screw but has plenty of power for smaller screws.

Yes they were all bought from lowes around the time they first came out. Like I said it was given to me so I'm not sure how much it was. I'm assuming it was around 20 bucks. I will tell you that I wouldn't sell it for 20 it's worth more than that to me.

If you are talking about ripping computers there is nothing better then the high speed assembly screwdrivers mounted above your workbench on a spring ballancer. Faster then any cordless and most corded screwdrivers, ergonomically correct. On a ballancer it is weightless, you actually have to pull down slightly to get to your work. No wrist pain. I got 2 of them off ebay for $50-$75 each... just gotta watch for them. Here's a pic of mine waiting for more work tonight.

If the Op's battery screwdriver is near 12volt, attach two leads to the terminals & connect it to a 12volt battery.

My battery drills contact tabs are just the right size for spade clips & I put a car cigerette lighter plug on the other end.

Theres no end to the amount of thrown out battery drills in this business, mostly because the batterys are dead & the user just buys another drill set.

Ok, I know you guys aren't going to want to pay this, but heres what I use:

(keep in mind, i'm in the automotive industry). It's a sweet little gun. I've had mine for 3 or 4 years now, and it works as good as it did when it was new. Theirs a more powerful lithium ion one that came out, I will be upgrading to it as soon as my Snap On dealer gets some in stock (backordered right now.) I'm trading this one in for $80, would be willing to sell it if anyone is interested

I met the guy who invented that. Andrew Taylor, he's a Kiwi too.

I have used systems like this in the past and you are right they are very nice. Nicer ones are mounted on arms so you do not get any twist from the screwgun.

Your setup looks nice.

Use a black&decker regargeable screw driver that I bought at wal-mart for twenty$. I let it charge all and it will last all day. It's small and lite and I've had it for about a year with no problems. If it burns out I'll just spend another 20.00 for another one. My .02
