Comment:
The report does not note that this is the only competent power screwdriver with variable speed control. The only other variable speed competitor, the Dremel Driver, is no longer made and is less powerful (I own both).<br />This is built very solidly and is a real tool- not a toy. It is not as powerful as a full sized drill, but often that much power is not needed, and it is handy to keep a drill bit in the drill and use this screwdriver to run in the fastener.<br />The variable speed makes it particularly useful for running screws in and out of electrical boxes, where a real low starting speed is needed so the threads don't get crossed.<br />Try this one compared to all the other power screwdrivers, which are single or two speed, and you be sold, as I was.<br />The only knock, and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars, was that the batteries aren't lion.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months

Heavy Duty ScrewDriver

Strength
Plenty of power, good battery life
Weakness
none
I own a lot of power screwdrivers. This is the best of the lot hands down. This tool has power to burn. On top of that it has excellent battery life. Batteries charge quickly and cannot be damaged from over charging. Changing bits is a breeze. I carry this tool everywhere. It will be interesting to compare this tool to the new lithium ion screwdrivers on the market today. But until DeWalt puts out one or a lithium battery for this tool. I'll stick with what I got.

Dewalt DW920K-2 Product Review

Strength
Adjustable Torque;Can be used a drill;Compact;Adjustable Handle;Reversing;Long Life Battery;Drill Case extra storage;Extra Battery;Battery charged in almost any Dewalt Charger;
Weakness

I have used this drill on several jobs and its great. I have been using my partners screwdriver for a couple of weeks, and two people cannot use it at the same time. So I had to purchase this drill and stop using my partners. Another great feature is the ability to charge the battery with my DW9109 12V charger in my work truck. Now I'm going to purchase the drill bit accessory kit. Price for drill is competitive for the quality of the tool. I like the fact that the batteries charge in almost all Dewalt chargers, which greatly saves on carrying several chargers. My goal to to have all Dewalt tools and give away my Craftsman. Battery life is Great. Thank You for letting me review this product.

Dewalt 2 Position Screw Driver Kit DW920K-2
12/30/2006
Strength
Powerful, Well Balanced, Versatile, and Professional Quality. Much easier and considerably less tiring than using a heavy driver-drill. Compact size makes it easy to carry.
Weakness
My only, admittedly very minor, complaint is that the hex bit holder works opposite to Dewalt's Impact Driver and it's easy to inadvertently send the bit flying if the unit's nose is depressed.
I use the Dewalt DW920K-2 extensively in my furniture making hobby. Whether I'm assembling a cabinet, removing the panels on my hot tub, replacing an electrical receptacle, or performing the various tasks around the house where I once used a manual screwdriver, the Dewalt is an absolute time saver and kind to the wrist. I recently lost my Dewalt due to carelessness on my part and this purchase is my replacement. I really like this tool and recommend it highly.
