High Quality and enduring design
I purchased one of these 15 years ago and it is a gem. A tribute to its enduring design is that it has not changed one bit since I bought mine. One challenge is that, like all rechargeable devices, the battery enventually wears down (after about 12 years of moderate household use) and will not recharge. Unfortunately I have long since lost my paperwork for this tool and have no idea where to order a replacement rechargeable battery. Can anyone help me? (Update October 2008- The batteries for these are available at OSH and other major hardware retailers - no problem! I bought two for about $14 each for longer jobs, like furniture assembly, when the battery loses charge from use but there is still more work to do) -WPS

Hey it's great, but
this unit is the same as the Panasonic unit . it is a 200 RPM low and 400 Rpm high speed. Great for service tech.'s

Nearly there
The Milwaukee power screwdriver is almost there. The torque is tremendous for the 2.4 volt motor. It's still solid and doesn't have any signs of bearing squawk - and I got it used. It's weight makes it a little heavy to grab for minor household repairs - but for repetitive jobs like driving dozens of sheet metal screws, changing outlets, or setting molly screws in sheetrock walls, it is a real wrist saver.

It would be a real advantage to have a bit holder on the driver itself instead of on the charger. Buy a magnetic bit extension so you can use those bits they sell on the hardware counter at 5 for a buck!

It's time for new batteries, since the ones I have are tired out. Not sure how long they last since the driver and batteries were used when I got it. If they last like the driver, I'll be a one happy camper.
