The Harbor Freight product that most impressed me after watching this channel were the Predator small engines. They were the stars of some oil and gas additive review vids a few years ago. Those engines started, ran and sounded great, and refused to die until they just couldn't take what was being done to them (which would also have trashed any other small engine). Very impressive for the price. The Hercules screwdriver in this vid held its own very well also.

Just a tip for people looking into these, This type of screwdriver are more so designed for machinery and electrical applications more so then drilling screws into wood. You don't necessarily want the highest torque for delicate things like screwing bolts back into old electronic plastic housings. I was a printer/copier repair tech and now work on lab equipment, I have used the Worx screwdriver for years without any real issues and have taken apart and put back together dozens of computers, printers, and copiers with that screwdriver. I find that size, a lighter weight, and ergonomics are more important for my use case then strength. I also found the bit switching mechanism on the Worx to be really nifty and it has come in handy many times. Excellent review as always!

exactly my thoughts. to build on your comment: Above all else I care that a clutch setting I picked yesterday to tighten plastic fascia onto a machine is going to be the same one I use today. I can't be breaking stuff when switching to a new battery or driving screws in a little faster. After that, I care about comfort because using a tool for an hour is different from a couple hours every day. In this line up, the Makita is probably the most comfortable for daily use. I'd have the tool in the pistol grip configuration, but be holding the "barrel". The weight of the battery over my wrist, my thumb on the buttons, and the driver bit facing down. Actual pistol grip is for screwing into a wall. I'm hoping to eventually see a lineup that shows something battery powered and definitively beating the Milwaukee M4. The clutch is the selling point.

I do benchtop work at home with small repairs and I bought the DCF601B Dewalt high powered 12V "Xtreme" screwdriver. It has a conventional form, because I'm used to using drills and impact drivers. I wasn't sure if I'd like the 601B because it looks like a tiny impact driver, and it's not as sleek. But I've found that it's very gentle, and very nimble, and the light weight makes it way less fatiguing to use on small projects. I have been using it to drive and remove M2.5 fine thread screws (less than 1/16" in diameter) and it works very well and is precise. The 601B has variable speed and is 1,100 rpms, and has enough power to drive wood screws. I mention it here because nobody seems to know about it, and it's awesome.

Always ginger on the torque settings though!

Makita's one of the few brands that tries to provide different performance tiers of the same tool without sacrificing quality. Unfortunately that means higher prices and higher expectations in terms of performance. I have the screwdriver shown here and use it for electronics work, which is a good fit for its capabilities. The super-low clutch settings and lower speed are just right for preventing cam-outs and broken fasteners in places where you REALLY don't want stray bits of metal getting lost. Also the video states that the screwdriver can change to and from a pistol grip but there is no locking mechanism to stop that from happening. Unless they changed the design then it SHOULD lock in place with a spring-loaded retention mechanism that is strong enough to keep the tool in either shape but weak enough to switch from straight to pistol grip and back with a flick of the wrist. He is right about the pinching, though they have the retention calibrated so well that I don't think I've ever pinched me hard enough to hurt.

I used to work in an auto shop over 20 years ago when most (maybe all?) cordless tools that you could get were NiCd. The only battery tool that I used was a small craftsman rotary tool that I sometimes used with the tiny wire brush to occasionally brush surface rust off small parts like the mating surfaces between brake pads and the body of a brake caliper. I also just used brush-style wire brushes for that, but sometimes it's useful to have small rotary wire brushes for getting into tight spots. So I gotta ask -- where do you use the Milwaukee M12 cordless screwdriver in an auto shop. I own that screwdriver. I cannot really think of where I'd reach for it when doing car repairs vs where I'd just use a regular manual screwdriver. It seems either too bulky or too underpowered to use in spots where you'd use a ratchet. Do you use it for reassembly to quickly drive bolts -- such as when reassembling brakes -- before you final-tighten with a ratchet? Maybe to do something like remove the small bolts on an engine valve cover? I really cannot think of where I'd use that tool on a car instead of reaching for either a ratchet or a combination wrench or a regular screwdriver or an actual impact wrench.

@@clutteredchicagogarage2720 Hey ‘cluttered….’ Good point and comment and May I say, you are mostly correct. Having owned and used the M12 Milwaukee, I have used it for small fasteners, as the clutch is very good, and it has just enough power to do most tasks with smaller stuff. Taking the 10mm fasteners out if the ‘dust cover’ under our Sonata, in order to do an oil change, for example. Obviously and as you noted, a battery ratchet, or impact wrench is going to be more useful. But for the small and intricate stuff, it can work. I think the M12 screwdriver is geared ( no pun ) more towards the woodworking/ light carpentry areas, however. I use it for quickly changing out duplexes and switches, etc. Of course there is no substitute for a really good hand screwdriver. Take it easy, stay safe!

I have used the dewalt one a fair bit and love it. The relatively low torque shown in this test has never been a problem for me. It's hard to call the milwaukee a screwdriver when it's 2 pounds and you can't make the grip inline, so I would classify it as a small drill not a screwdriver. Disqualified IMO.

The most expensive one I see is $89 and comes with an extra battery and 2 different chucks, one offset and the other a 90 degree.

I wondered the same thing. Just saw the tool with battery and charger at HD for $29.97 so I picked one up and have been happy so far. I've had great luck with Ryobi tools over the last decade+, but when I saw the $100 price tag on this review, especially against the $49 tool-only Milwaukee and $95 DeWalt, I knew where this one was headed. The Ryobi is a fine screwdriver for common home and DIY use, but $100 is WAY too much for its capabilities.

We use two of those Metabo ones here in our repair shop today. I own and use that Metabo one, used to be under the Hitachi name a handful of years ago, for about 15 years or so. Very reliable and once you get used to where the forward and reverse button is, it becomes second nature when using it.

Yeah, we use a very similar design in a production place I work (multiple brands but same arrangement otherwise), the switch position is perfect for being held vertically and working on a bench with the work below your hand (lets you keep your elbow on the bench and all that). It can actually be more convenient than the 3-$400 corded production torque drivers we use when it comes to non-critical fasteners. Those expensive ones have a trigger high up and a reverse switch on the opposite side, they're better for installing a ton of screws from a feeder with precise torque though. The other nice thing about that metabo like shape and rocker switch location is that you can hang them from a tool hanger and rail, so they feel weightless and can hang overhead/out of the way when not being used (extremely useful for fixturing screws). It also makes it easy to use as a non powered screwdriver for better break away torque or fine control.

I just don't see why anyone would get this over an m12 drill with a chuck tho. Assuming you re already in the M12 system, do you really not have a regulare drill? If you are not already in the system, the other options are cheaper. If you are in the system, why not just use the chuck on your m12 drill that is almost the same size+shape. One of the pros of the 4v systems is they can go from gun-style to straight-style. The 4v options listed are cheaper hen it comes to including batteries and they fit into more places than a drill. To me that is the point of these tools - to fit where drills don't so you can still drive screws with a power tool despite tight-quarters and delicate fasteners.

The Ryobi one has been in my tool bag since Christmas. It's great for when you're popping out a few screws and putting em back. Plus, the USB charging on it is pretty sweet as an option. The only 'critique' is that the bigger screwdrivers in this list are more akin to drills or impacts. If you're in the battery ecosystem or need a heavy duty screwdrivers, they're great but perhaps worthy of their own list.

He must have bought it from a reseller. But why? Even if there are no Home Depot stores in Todd's area, they still ship. This actually makes me wonder now about the prices he mentions for everything, because he doesn't say if he is getting things at the best price or the price actual people pay every day. It's just A price. And this one is definitely not a normal, everyday price anybody would see on a Home Depot shelf.

My favorite compact line is the Bosch 12V. The dril/screw driver is great. I have found it so useful in tight spaces. I am to the point where I am strongly considering their 5-in-1 as it comes with a shallow, 90 degree and a offset bit holder all in 1 drill. It also has a regular chuck attachment. I have the Ryobi one here and I more often than not get stuck with the blinking red light and it takes forever to reset. The old screw driver that did not have the removable batter worked so much better so I always just keep both with me as the 5v is only good for extremely light duty work.

Another vote for DeWalt. Hercules in this review isn't really comparable. If I wanted something that big & powerful, I'd just use my DeWalt 20V Max Hammer Drill. Even more power? There's always the 1/2" Impact. DeWalt screwdriver is fantastic as a screwdriver for various tasks, with good balance of power and speed, plus exceptional control. I do wish DeWalt would expand upon their 8V Max line just a tad. Note DeWalt voltage is based on their charge cutoff (Maximum) voltage. For example, 8V Max is 2 cells in series. Normally, lithium ion battery's "safe" maximum charge voltage is 4.2V or so, but DeWalt (and many other reputable tool brands) will stop at 4.0V or so, to maximize battery longevity. 20V Max batteries are 5 cells in series, again with 4V per cell max charge voltage. Laptop and phone batteries can also live a lot longer if you don't charge them to max voltage (4.2V - 4.35V). Many modern laptops give you the option to limit charge %, such as HP giving you the option to limit charge to 80% (~4.0V). Some outliers like Framework gives you full numerical control. I have my Framework 13 7040 set to 65%, for example. I use a timer switch with my phone charger, so it doesn't get to 100%, unless I really needed it for a trip or something.

Ryobi is available from Home Depot for ~$40 USD for their normal price of the screwdriver + battery (right now they are also offering an additional free battery with purchase). There is also a smaller Ryobi which is even more of a "screwdriver" which would have been nice to see. I would also love to see the Ikea screwdriver included next time just for the fun. As always, amazing video, but I feel like the size needed to be considered when putting the lineup together.

I own the earlier Ryobi models with similar form factor, one of which is pistol grip only (with swappable battery) and the other is convertible to straightline, with fixed internal battery. The torque from these, especially the pistol-only model, is surprisingly good, and they came with chargers, instead of having to use your phone charger. It appears that the design and build quality of these new ones have been cheapened by the bean counters. It also appears from Todd's photo that the reason the new model costs 100 bucks is because it included a set of bits, probably about $30 to $40 worth...

I really like your comprehensive reviews. Have you ever tested car battery jump packs?

Hi, How are you doing today? I am doing pretty good myself. I just would like to say thank you for getting to another one of my video ideas. I love all the great work and the great information that you have provided us. I would like to see you try testing: break bleeders and find out which manufacturers are the best. I hope that you and your family take care until next time.

Have been using that Makita since 2015. Mostly used at work for automotive extras installation. Got also hex drill bit set up to 6mm. Has done all the work I needed and still going strong with original batteries. The position non-lock has actually been the good side for me since I can flip it in a sec. If I were to to buy such sized screwdriver today I would probably go with Bosch or Milwaukee due to variety of tools for 12v platform.

Great video as always! But I´m missing the high end products in the lineup like Hilti or Festool.

Very awesome video. I own the Milwaukee and I installed mounting brackets for my security cameras on my home here in Florida. The tool had no problem screwing into tough fiber cement sideing. I did not even have to drill a pilot hole. I actually did do pilot holes after a few screws deformed. The Milwaukee is by far the best for $49.

Awesome vid as always; Can you maybe do a video on sticker and adhesive removers like goof off, goo gone, lift off, un-du, max strip, sentinel 747, etc...

Goof Off is more of a paint remover than a sticker remover! That stuff is HARSH and damages plastics. Doesn't really belong in the same category as Goo Gone, Xenit, lighter fluid (naptha) etc which are safe on most plastics. Lift-off (several different formulas available, for different types of cleaning) is a water based, so in a different category as well. Good stuff, but no longer sold at Home Depot......
