    This looks to be a very sturdy and well made tool. I wish I would have saw this before I bought my Dewalt!!!!!

    Dangit Ben!

    Bought your dewalt what? 'cept for tight spaces I'd grab a variable speed cordless drill over this any time, though it's a bit more to haul around if traveling.

    It doesn't look all that sturdy though, it's made out of translucent brittle plastic, plastic switch, looks a lot like a yellow one I got in a free promo set that is ok for light duty but I wouldn't even try to use it for something high torque even if it was all I had at the moment, it'd just be too likely to break.

    I suppose everyone has their own definition of high torque though, I'm thinking of uses where you'd have trouble using a straight screwdriver too, though I consider mine flimsy enough it would break in uses where a straight higher quality screwdriver would still get the job done. Quite adequate for something lite like hanging a picture, taking a computer case apart, etc.
