    These POS size drills actually come in handy

    From what I can tell, this one, and most others have a seperate switch to set the direction. That is a pain. When putting a self tapping screw back in the hole it came out of I always give it a little backwards turn to get the threads lined up in the previous track.

    I have a very old screwdrver that has a rocker switch that lets me do that all in one motion. No, switch to left, pulse, switch to right, screw it in. Just left pulse, right screw it in.

    A shame it has Ni-Cd instead of Lithum-ion battery.

    If you don't use it in a couple of months, the battery will be dead.

    The one you want is the Denali 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion, which I own and has good reviews; see Amazon. Of course the Sears Evolv 17088 is real cheap at $7.49.

    ^ Li-Ion cells are inferior to NiCd in every way except two - higher energy density and slower self discharge. With a cordless tool that higher energy density could be an important factor and worth the other tradeoffs, but not always.

    If properly used, meaning you stop using a tool when the battery is nearly flat, and don't overcharge them, NiCd is the more robust and long lasting battery tech from both # of recharge cycles and years until the cells shelf rot and must be replaced.
