- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseDo you need one of these? Probably not. If you’re a gadget addict, it’s a must have! Powerful and functional, it locks to break a fastener loose and then quickly removes it. The 1/4” hex collar accepts multiple attachments. It really is quite functional as a low torque automatic driver. It takes a minute to get used to the sequence of holding the paddle switch and then rotating the barrel left or right. The more you turn, the faster it operates. It is really great if you have a lot of screws. Otherwise, it is for the gadget junkie who has everything. Well worth the money.
UPDATE: I have to comment on DeWalt’s Customer Service. After several months, I had a problem with an accessory and contacted the company. Other than proof of purchase, they required nothing to address my issue. The representative did not hesitate to find a solution that made me extremely happy! I have been a DeWalt guy for many years and this level of service will keep me coming back. Just to be clear, the problem was MY FAULT, not the product.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI bought this as I wanted a power screwdriver that had variable speeds. This one has that and it is super easy to use. I use it for small hobbies and on 1.5mm to 2.5mm screws. This means I am using it at a slow speed and watching the torque at times. It's great and the gyro function works perfect. Tap the power button and the light will light, insert and hold power button, turn in either direction. The more you turn while holding the power button, the faster it will spin. If you release the power button and press again, it is as if you are in neutral and any prior rotation is nulled out. Something to think about for those that tap the power button instead of adjusting the gyro and position.
I totally recommend this, she saw the name Dewalt and was instantly fine that I had bought a product with a quality brand name. I joked that I would probably lose it before it broke...
- 6 Month review - It's been 6 months, still pretty handy and I really like it. The downside is that it is temperamental now and works some time (gyro) and sometimes it doesn't. It seems that when I have it horizontal and the tool has the top upright - the gyro seems to work fine. It has become temperamental though which I really dislike.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI like using this screw driver. It is fun to use. It is less fatigue to use and in particular if you have many screws to turn. I used it to build a PC case (the one that you need to practically build the entire PC) and this was a joy to use. I believe for those who are in any hobby that needs to build stuff (e.g., R/C helicopter or FPV drones), they might enjoy using this driver than other electric screw drivers. You do not need to move figures to press for turn or un-turn screws. You just need to twitch your wrist for the direction to turn screw in or out. However, it needs to get use to though but once you get a hang of it then the fun begins. You can also control how fast or slow turn is by the the amount of you twitch your wrist and again it is a habit that you need to get use to.
You can use it the same way as regular non electric driver as well by not pressing on the button or lock it. This is useful when the torque of the driver isn't enough to turn or unturn screws or to get more precise at first.
I've found that most of general house hold tasks in side of house, this screw drivers nearly meets all situations so far. I used it to put up window blinds, putting together baby crib, replaces concealed cabinet hinges etc. and this is great or sufficient except one case that I ran into so far. I will mention about it in the drawback point in a little later.
Its construction is great - strong. Held well in my hand (not too big hand) still. I do not feel it is too heavy to give you tiresome to hold. The LED light at the front is handy. It purrs to let you know it is ready.
Battery charging is quick.
The reasons that a star is discounted are:
1. It would be nice to have more torque. I just ran into a case where it could not turn a screws that held a cabinet door to the frame. This is one cabinet that had this issue as for some reason, the original screws were tighten quite tight. I had to turn them by hand using this driver without pressing the activation/power button. It worked fine in manual mode.
2. There is a slider to lock the activation button from being activated or turned on the screw. It is just part of the activation button that extends further for you to slide in or out to lock or unlock the activation button. This is a good idea and convenient to find. It works great for what it is designed for. I just wish that it can be in a place or perhaps another button to stop activation while you hand hold (full grab) so that you can go into manual mode (no-electric) while turning tough screws without stopping to slide this button.
3. The charger works fine and it charge quickly. However, the status light has one color - red. It signals stage of charging and battery conditions via blinking pattern. That is fine but I would preferred when battery is fully charged, the light should be green. It is a common to use green for indicating fully charged batteries. Look around for other devices that have battery charging light - Amazon Kindle, Apple Mac etc. ), they use green light to indicate fully charged batteries. It would be nice if the charger to do the same.
Note:
This is a good driver to have around house. However, I would get the version of this driver that has torque limit and two position handle than this one especially if you work for small items or do not want to over tighten or stripping screw heads.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Color: BlackVerified PurchaseSeems to work really good once you figure out how it operates. If you want to turn the screw left, holding the screwdriver, turn your hand to the left and the gyroscopic switch will cause the screwdriver to turn the screw left. Same for the right.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchasePowerful and seems to have good battery life
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI bought two of these in December of 2023 and it is now April 2024 and they both do not work. I bought one for work and bought one for a back up in case the one quit working and now both quit working at the same time. Just like that. They act like the battery is dead but both have full batteries and when pressing the button, the three green light indicators light up and then go off. Seems the motor or something is defective. This is a bummer because my boss is likely to buy me some cheap knock off to replace. I buy these myself because I love them but can't afford to this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Gyro Operation!! Best PC builder!!!
Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI was constantly looking for a cordless screwdriver to build and maintain PCs. And finally, found this! All those cheaper ones... nope, stay away from them! They all have some caveats and mostly, that's torque/speed control! They either do not have torque/speed control nor holding chucks!
This one operates with gyro.. which is similar to those phone... some phone games controlled with tilting the phone, right? That's how it works. Simply press the button and tilt your wrist. Simple as that and that's not really a causation of asking almost 150 CAD. HOWEVER!! The gyro tilting itself is acceleration based! If you tilt it really slightly, this driver will turn as weak as those electronics drivers. Yes! I've tightened PC motherboard without problem! Be sure to get long (6" at least) Philips #2 bits as well!
And yet, if you snap it like when those 20V drills clutches, it will run the full speed/torque! Those pesky PC chassis cooling fans? NO PROBLEM! It will screw through the plastic chassis fan frame like a hammer drill and may over tighten the screw, which never happened to me yet.
So, basically, this screwdriver can cover everything low torque. I believe no one is looking for this driver to drill 2"x4" timbers, yet building an IKEA furniture or installing some towel hanger at the best. For those tasks, this driver may be an overkill in terms of price. But if you have to work on a lot of delicate and somewhat strong screwing job, this is the only driver that can do the both ends.
Moreover, being operated with gyro enables holding it with any angle/direction! So much easier to work with since all that you need to press is just ONE button! Sometimes, when screwing something in a tight space, it's not comfortable to reach tighten/loose button separately. But just having a single button changes the scene entirely!!
At the moment, it is too early to say how battery life is. But the 1Ah battery was not drained while building 4 PCs! Since even a professional PC assembler can only work 3 PCs per day at max... battery life will not hamper the workload at all. And yes, PC parts do not need too much torque at all. Even better!
Now some cons.
1. Battery can just be integrated and charged via USB-C. Sure, it can be tricky to make > 7.6 V with a USB power, but there are tons of buck/boost converters out there. So, it's technically not impossible. DeWalt 8V platform is kind of nonexistent other than this drill and it's sisters and having a bulky charger and a specialized battery seems to be an afterthought.
2. Only one shape! In fact, DCF680 can be operated as a 'gun' mode. But kind of hard to find in Amazon.
3. Again, compared to DCF680, the lamp is only single spot. I would prefer ring shaped lamp like in those impact drills or DCF680 or DCF601.
But after all, forget about all those premium cordless drivers nor cheap ones unless you are in a real tight budget. If you can afford it, just buy this one! The gyro is a magic!

But after all, forget about all those premium cordless drivers nor cheap ones unless you are in a real tight budget. If you can afford it, just buy this one! The gyro is a magic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not too weird to be efficient
Color: BlackVerified PurchaseTwist activated mechanism is natural enough to be manageable, sometimes difficult in certain thighs situations. It has enough torque lock to untight screws before activating the motor. Small, light and robust. Didn’t died after a year, yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impresionante destornillador giroscópico
Color: BlackVerified PurchaseMuy buen producto ya que puedes regular la velocidad de giro para que vaya más lento o más rápido, a la izquierda o la derecha, el encastre hexagonal es muy bueno ya que no se caen las puntas hasta que lo liberas de manera manual, lo único que podría mejorar es que le faltaría el clutch de torque, sé que lo tiene la siguiente generación, pero se vuelve muy caro, estoy muy contento y créanme que es mucho mejor que las marcas de la competencia como Bosch, Makita u otros, se los recomiendo ampliamente.
