When I was a student and was pretty much naïve to the world of DIY and "flat back pack" assembly, it soon became clear to me that what I needed wasn't a basic manual cross head screwdriver, but something a bit more versatile, that could do the job of joining together with a little more speed and precision. When I moved into my first flat and required a few budget furniture pieces, Argos was the first port of call and the choice of furniture was limited to products that I could safely carry out of the shop and put on public transport. This came down to several different products like wheeled trolleys, kitchen worktop trolleys and bedding furniture like a small ..  Read the complete review

This is another tool that's landed up in my tool collection rather than my husbands. It was his, but since he bought his latest cordless power drill which doubles up as a screwdriver as well, this has been handed down to me. For this reason, I can't actually tell you what we paid for this, but I can say we've had it for quite a few years and it's lasted pretty well, so if you can find one at a good price then it's probably worth going for. As you've probably gathered from what I've said above, my husband does most of the DIY around our home, but that being said I'm not totally useless and can handle a drill, wire a socket (yes I said socket not plug), and ...  Read the complete review

I'm not quite sure how I ended up with the Black & Decker cordless screwdriver, model number 9072CTN. It is one of those devices that you buy for convenience rather than necessity and more often than not, these kind of purchases will get used a couple of times before being put away, never to be used again. It is a 2.4 volt single speed device that is also reversible. It rotates at a speed of 150 rpm and deliver 2.3ins-lbs torque. It has a narrow nose piece allow access to small crevices and holes whilst using a metal gearcase for added durability. Powered off an internal battery that can be recharged through a mains connection. It is light weight at only ...  Read the complete review

This is a must for anyone who is considering buying any flat-pack furniture. I struggled for years without a power screwdriver but after a trip to MFI sale I ordered rather too much furniture for both bedrooms and my office. When all the flat-packs arrived one of the delivery guys said I hope you’ve got an electric screwdriver. I had to agree and promptly popped out to B&Q for the Black and Decker electric screwdriver. This rechargeable power driver worked well with six torque settings to adjust the amount of power applied to the screws. The screwdriver came with a good selection of nine interchangeable bits (three sizes for each of the three types ...  Read the complete review

I never thought I'd say this about a power tool but this is the handiest gadget that I have in the house. Chuck away your manual screwdrivers that have burred over edges and that take you forever to merely screw a picture to the wall. This gadget will do it in seconds with very little effort indeed. The tool is fully rechargeable as it has a built in battery. It comes complete with 10 interchangeable little attachments that are stored in the plastic box. They are so easy to pop into the cordless screwdriver as the tips are magnetic. Owning this tool has probably saved me hours when assembling flat packed furniture or unscrewing battery compartments of ...  Read the complete review
