Tools and Hardware Reviews of Denali 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver Kit with Wall-Mountable Charger
Customer Review: A $100 screwdriver for $24
Summary: 5 Stars
Denali is just an amazing company. Truly amazing. They packed so many features into such a tiny package that the selling price of this unit had me asking "what's the catch?" or "did they fall off the back of a truck?"
Ok, for starters, everything ships in a convenient small box that is easy to wrap if giving it as a Christmas or birthday gift. Shipping box is, maybe, 8in x 8in x 8in. Inside the box are two neatly wrapped pieces. One piece contains the plastic stand-up charger. The other contains the Denali bag -- which contains the driver, the drill bits, and the screwdriver bits.
Let's talk about the battery itself. The battery is lithium-ion so you can leave it in the charger all day long without worrying about running down the battery. Speaking of the battery, the unit carries a charge for at least a day. Light user will get 2-3 days from it easy. On the driver are three LEDs (red, yellow, green) that tell the state of the battery.
The driver has a standard trigger plus a forward/reverse toggle button. The best part? It also includes a flashlight! Built-in under the socket is a small flashlight, which is great for lighting up those hard-to get places. The driver is small enough to toss into a bag or toolbox.
The bag of included bits contains the usual screwdriver bits (flathead and Phillips) plus some drill bits for light drilling. Oh, the bag has a belt clip on it so you can take the unit with you anywhere.
I couldn't be happier for the price. In fact, it was so good, I bought five more for co-workers (they are field engineers). Highly recommend -- although it appears Amazon isn't selling them anymore.
Customer Review: Great light-duty screwdriver.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this last month when it was on sale (happens to be the same price today). This has totally exceeded my expectations. I was looking for something to use for household projects instead of busting out my heavy 18v Hitachi Drill. This fit the bill perfectly. It's a must for furniture assembly and was a life saver when I redid my kitchen cabinets!
Pros:
- Comfortable and lightweight. No fatigue at all. This is a major issue when I use my "big drill" for driving screws and turning nuts/bolts.
- Great, long lasting power for its size. Thank you Li-Ion Battery! No worrying about discharging before recharging.
- LED Light is very bright. This has proven to be very handy. I actually leave the forward/reverse button in the center position. When you press the trigger, only the light comes on; makes for a great flashlight. (See customer image)
- Charging stand keeps the driver and bits within easy reach. I have it mounted in my utility room. (See customer image)
Cons:
- Seriously, none. Not at this price.
Customer Review: A MUST AT HOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this several months ago when it was in my gold box and I've been thrilled with this purchase ever since. I've read previous reviews where people have had a problem keeping it charged, and fortunately for me, I have had no such problem. In fact, I took this out yesterday to change cabinet pulls (after keeping it off the charger for months) and it fired right up. Initially I tried my husband's exceedingly heavy and ridiculously large, turbocharged, supersonic drill that can double as a 50 pound weight . . .but it just seemed "too much" for the job .. that is unless the job was "breaking my wrist while installing cabinet pulls" This is not to say that this is a "chick drill", it was just more practical for the task at hand. In fact, this drill was initially purchased as a christmas gift, but when my husband saw it and tried it out, he said "let's get your dad something else for christmas" . . So. .with father's day coming up . . I'll look no further. . . . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Customer Review: Excellent handy tool.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this tool for 1 year now. It's a very handy tool.
Pro:
1. Li-Ion battery is really good to keep the power for long.
Li-Ion battery has not memory effect, so you can just charge it whenever you want.
2. The small LED nose-light is pretty handy to work under low-light condition.
3, The size of this tool is small for working in tight area.
4. The included drilling bits serve good use too. This tool works well for light duty drilling purpose.
Con:
1. Technically, this is really not a "con"...due to the small size and lower voltage range, this tool does not have strong torgue. So, I have to use my 18V power drill for heavy duty tasks.
Again, this is a 3.6V power tool, not a 19.2V or 24V power tool. So it has its limitations in power, speed and torque. Do not expect it to handle heavy duty tasks. For light and medium duty tasks around the house, you will be happy with it.
Customer Review: Terrific for everyday use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to replace my Black & Decker cordless screwdriver which was about 5 years old and which had begun to show lots of wear and tear. I figured I had nothing to lose at the price. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a fairly powerful driver for everyday use which is compact and ergonomic. It was already partly charged so the first this I did after opening the package was to test it out by mounting the holder to my laundry room wall. It comes with more than enough bits for any task and I love the fact that you can store most of the bits in the mounting bracket making for easy access. The instructions say not to leave the charger in the bracket once it's fully charged.
Once it was charged I used it to replace the wood screws in the 3 hinges of a heavy duty outside door. It was more than up to the task.
A good deal at 3 times the price. I'm very happy with this unit.
