Long form video? We are truly blessed

As an IT tech with broken elbow problems, this thing saves me lots of joint pain. Turning screwdrivers pops and cracks the joint, so using this to do 20-30 outlets a day is amazing. Especially since it has a torque setting as well. Plus, it fits in the belt. 100% recommend.

I've had this screwdriver for at least 5 years and I love the thing. It's so nice to have precise control of the speed.

I’ve had one for 3-4 years now in networking / pro AV and I love it. When you’ve got hundreds of wall plates to do, saves time and helps to not strip screws. I’d actually love to have a mini tool bag of 8V tools like this, anything needing more power gets the full M18 treatment.

I'm a heating contractor, and that is my favorite tool. Couple it with a right angle adapter, and I can do tons with it on heating systems. I'm not a Dewalt guy, but they hit it out of the park with this tool!

I've had one for a couple of years, too. I also really like it. It is nice for the level of control I feel over the speed, as well as the compact size. It usually doesn't quite have the power for longer wood screws without drilling pilot holes, but it's just so nice for most projects around the house.

I had a few of the noname drivers for years in my box during my career. Loved them for dashboard work with all the small fasteners you had to remove. The lower power was actually beneficial for not stripping out screws in plastic. BTW, love your shorts, er, short videos.

hey dude. i wanted to thank you for the video. i've had a really harrowing week following a harrowing month following a harrowing decade, but today was particularly bad, and i needed to retreat, calm down, and regroup. your calm demeanor in this video helped me find my calm and continue to press on afterwards. thank you.

The first time I picked one of these up I thought it was broken. Now, it literally is used on every job I have done in the past 7yrs. By far one of my favorite tools! Saves on wrist and joint pain. Thanks for the great content and laughs!!

I'm not a pro but I like it for around the house jobs. Especially light fixtures or electrical boxes where the screws are fine thread and a mile long. The version with the torque settings is incredibly useful for IT work, too, where there's often a million screws you have to remove/replace.

I love an honest person who knows how to do a honest review of a tool! Thanks for this video, I am a electrician I could not see me using the driver at work. But still if I was tinkering around in my shop on my 4x4 maybe I might use this!

I used one for the first time last year. Truly innovative and fun to use. I do a lot of installation work and it makes life easier.

I find myself expecting my regular screwdrivers to keep spinning with the slightest tilt of my hand like the DeWalt because I use it so much. Definitely my go to taking panels off (HVAC) and I have a bunch of those magnet drives just like you hanging on the side of my bag. Great stuff

I got one of these a couple years ago still going strong, use it often. My main hobby is RC cars and always fixing, tinkering, upgrading them definitely makes the job a little quicker when I have a lot of screws to tighten/loosen.

Had this for 3 years now. Absolutely love it! I'm an aircraft mechanic, and it works great for tight holes where your reaching back over your head and can't move anything except your hand. Low torque situations only though, for high torque I use the Bosch Chameleon.

I have an older one. That has clutch setting and you can twist it to have 90 degree bend. Love this thing.

Welcome to the club. I hesitantly pulled the trigger a year ago and it has come in so handy and quickly became a go to. It's really great for assembling furniture and light electronic work. You can drive 1 1/2" screws into a stud with it as well. Buddies who see it definitely want one too. I put together a little pouch with bits and drivers etc. Great for hanging pictures, etc. About as happy as I can be for you with regards to another dude getting a tool.

I have had one of these for a few years now. I use it for panel building. Hundreds of terminal screws and PLC screws. I love it!

I bought the DCF680 8V and I first thought it was broken. Then I looked for some reviews and realized it was the Gyro that makes it go. i very soon got used to it and I love it. Its been about 4-5 years and still love this tool.

I have the slightly larger version with the adjustable chuck for about 6 years and use it almost every day. Still going strong and is extremely versatile in what you can do with it.

I got the Craftsman gyroscopic screwdriver a couple years ago after seeing it used in a bike repair shop, and I freakin' love it. I can't believe these are not more common.

I have a job similar to yours. I use mine almost every day since 2019. It works great. Most of my techs now have one as well.

I use 1 of these at work every day for over a year now! I have not been disappointed

I have had one of these for a few years now. I’m an electrician in a power plant, lots of screws, small bolts & nuts. Man that thing saves some time. It’s perfect for when a screwdriver or 1/4” ratchet will take a long time but a small 1/4” impact is too much power & you might snap or round off.

Correct me if I'm wrong; I think the 0-3600 rpm indicates it is variable speed. If it just shows max rpm, that means it's the only speed. Like with an angle grinder.

Black & decker had a gyro version of this, the battery lasted me weeks, but I lost the charging cord in a move. I purchased the pistol folding version of this, came with two batteries, the charger, a spiffy tip attachment for the tool, and a bag to keep it all. The tool also has two speed options and an adjustable torque ring like on most drills, I love it, use it pretty much daily. I even purchased some nice 1/4 attaching stubby drill bits for this tool, comes in handy for drilling in tight spaces, this thing has enough torque for drilling everything i've tried it on. I love this tool so much that I was going to get another one so I can keep one in my truck and one at home, but I recently found the charging cord for my Black & Decker, so i'm a happy camper now.

HVAC guy here, we use those 1/4 and 5/16 reversible bits every single day. Either the Malco or Klein ones, ease of use along with being able to wipe off the metal shavings off of the magnet saves time.

I've been having this tool for 3 years now and I love it

Thank you for not being like the majority of everyone else on youtube, honest and straightforward with no nonsense.

This thing rocks! I love it! I wish I could find another one for myself, my buddy has one and we used it when we re-wired his house. The best for outlet and plate screws.

Yep. Had mine for a long time, not even sure how many years. Still running strong. I love it.

bought one myself awhile back and I love it. I was doing handyman work for awhile and it was fantastic for all the little crap you have to do around properties. I also have used it for little electrical type jobs its just great size and weight when you just need little stuff done.

I have the 680, mainly for the clutch option.. I use it often for switches, outlets and covers. Once you get use to it, you will love it.

I love mine, I use for tightening wire terminations when I'm doing well over a 100 a day the repetitive motion sucks on the wrist, but unlike a drill or an impact gun, you can really feel and dial in how to you make each connection before final torquing.

I bought one of these for my some when he was three so he could have a safer drill to use, it’s now mine. These rock.

I've had one for years and am surprised this is your first time. Great simple tool.

I used the earlier model with the pivoting handle In the data center for years to rack equipment. Best tool I've ever had. It's the only electric screwdriver with reasonable torque that won't free spin when you run out of battery.

One of the best little cordless screwdrivers that I had was by Black and Decker. It was offset with a flat edge that you could rotate. It was great for doing ceiling fans or anything really close to an inside edge. Unfortunately I lost the charger for it. I dig this because it doesn’t go batsh*t crazy from the start. Definitely putting it on my list. 👍

I had this item on my xmas wish list, but figured it was too expensive. My father in law bought it for me. I absolutely love it.

My coworker brought one on the job last week (we are electricians) and I was really impressed. Mine arrived via Amazon yesterday.

Got one last year…perfect tool! Mine has a rotating handle that will switch between a pistol or a straight grip, clutch adjustment, and the flashlight that lights up the bit. There you go!

The first time I used one, I didn't like it. But after using it for about 3 years now I do like them. Super solid for repetitive tasks. - Like removing screws from electronic cases (when they have 30 2mill screws it is a godsend. Though putting back in, I manually turn to not crossthread...which it loves to do if you just full send it) The 2nd version DCF680N1 is much better as you can rotate the handle down to be more of a 'regular drill'. And it has a "torque" setting, which isn't terribly accurate, but it is great to not over-tighten screws. The 1st version DCF682N1 I have one (of 3) that it feels like a clutch slip, you can flick your wrist and it will spin down and not continue rotating until you let go of the button and press again. And the 1st version like in your vid, doesn't have the torque setting. Either version is worth it - Especially if you get it on sale with the charger, 1-2 batteries, and screwdriver for 99 bucks (without sale it's around $119.) that kit is DCF680N2

I love that you do extensive testing and real life scenario applications all the other videos I looked up on this tool were short personal opinions and that doesn't do me any good when looking to make a decision on the tool itself

I'm a skid steer mechanic I just started watching your stuff lately man keep it up good stuff!

I've had mine since they first released many years ago. It is the most used tool I own, and I own a LOT. With the clutch on this I have used it to dis/re-assemble laptops, cellphones, tv's, stereos and anything else you can imagine. The pistol grip version is the only way to go!! I have driven 3" screws into 2x4 just to see if it could, and it can! I LOVE this driver. It is amazing. I wish they were still $75... :(

My dad got me one of these for Christmas a couple years ago and I thought it was stupid. It is now my favorite screwdriver.

I do alot of security camera work, so working over my head this thing is super helpful.

I see a lot of avionic package installers have this guy and love it. Working on what you demonstrated on, computer hardware. #4 and #6 machine screws are common for them.

I have one in my tool bag for HVAC work, but I often reach for the 12v Bosch pistol style driver instead. The DeWalt has enough power for most things, but the gyro control is too cumbersome as you always have to make sure you leave enough room for your wrist to twist the direction you want to go. If they could somehow combine a manual trigger control then it would be the perfect compact tool to leave in my everyday carry tool bag.

I used this as a cable technician and this s easily my best purchase. It made my day to day work exponentially easier and simpler and with much less forearm strength and a lot more speed. When screwing 40 to 50 times a job when needed this easily saved dozens of minutes, and this is where minutes count with hourly time frames.

I have this one and the older one that rotated to a pistol grip. Love them both. Keep up the great work!

I got one of these and its my absolute favorite screwdriver. it saves me so much wrist strain especially with long screws. it has enough torque to rotate itself in my hand if im not careful. its an absolute must have tool.

I have an older model and it has a button on the side which swivels the handle into a pistol grip. Great tool. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate the longer format and that's something I might buy thanks

Good job on the review...thanks for taking the time to do it for us...going to buy one now and see how it goes for me!

I have the older version (DCF680G2) of this which is longer but with a button press you can turn into a pistol style grip rather than straight, my version also has torque settings and I use it all the time... love this driver for lighter projects... driven in 50mm (2") screws into treated timber with a bit of work. During a party my neighbour suffered a hinge failure... my DeWalt gyroscopic and some stainless steel screws (from my collection) later repaired the door... about three hours later I got the screwdriver as all the professional electricians and carpenters wanting to play with it. Outstanding piece of kit...

I do small engine repair and use this thing every day and I mean EVERY day! Been pounding the hell out of it for about 3 years. I would definitely buy this again if need be. Great tool especially when you get used to the weird gyro tech. PS mine turns 90 degrees (pistol form) which I prefer.

Had one for several years now, it lives in my electrical tool bag. Came with two batteries and a little flashlight and Ive used it for outlet and switch covers, mounting fans and lights etc. It has the power to run 2-3 inch screws into studs and held loosely it’ll spin out of position in my hand as a quick torque limiter.

Had o e for about 4 yrs now, for interior semi truck work it’s been great and a wrist saver for sure.

New style??!!! This is what I've been looking for. Nicely done dude!!

I have one of these in my work toolbox and one in my home tool box and I love it

You are becoming one of my favorite tool reviews. You value the same things I do.

I love the Malco magnetic 2 in 1. Use it for metal roofing when my company does them. Comes in handy for alot and actually is holding up. Loving your content. Feel like that 8 volt would give me more of a headache than anything. Just my opinion.

Got one of these for Christmas a couple of cycles ago. I really like it.

Nice review! Your no nonsense style is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for doing a drywall demonstration with this; I would definitely use it for that!

Awesome to see the new long form videos!

As far as I'm aware the Panasonic ey503b screwdriver was the godfather of all these. I bought my first one in the early 90's, used it every working day for more than 10 years as a printer tech. It didn't stop working, I changed careers.

We've had electric screwdrivers like this back when Versapack was a thing. So, since 2000. I still use it.

I have one and i use it every single day, even drives self drilling screws. great for hvac, electric, and general use

Good comments in the review. I’ve had two of these things in the last 30 years. A Useful tool.

I've been using the dewalt gyro screwdriver for years for work and it's amazing. the work I do isn't heavy duty but involves lots of little machine screws where a drill or impact would be pointless but this thing is so nice. the clutch locking is great for breaking things loose, then it runs them out no problem. ideally you should break it loose with the motor off, then run it off with the screwdriver. same when installing, run it down with the screwdriver then tighten it with the motor off. just like you would with an electric ratchet.

I've had mine a few years, that same style, love it, awesome for Ikea furniture since I f that up at first almost everytime, they have another style where the handle can swivel to pistol grip and comes with a bit clip you can attach to the top, at first that wasn't working so well but the more I used it the more it started working like the original

Had one for years love it.

I have the Dewalt DCF680 model that swivels in the middle into a pistol grip configuration. LOVED IT! Changed my life, until about a month later after I purchased it, when the gyro mech stopped working correctly. I pushed the button, rotated the driver and it would not start to spin. Sometimes the driver would engage and rotate, but it would immediately stop spinning, then could not get it to spin at all. Some times I try to use it again, but it usually stops working shortly after. So frustrating. I tried to get in touch with Dewalt, but never received an email back from them. I will have to try and look up their customer service phone number and try again. Oh, well, have not used it in over a year now. Its still brand new! Too bad, such a great and handy little driver with plenty of power and perfect size. :)

I have one that's about 20yrs old. The handle pivots to about 45deg. I was doing a couple of sculpture studios in old Chicago factories. lots of emt runs, outlets, 3ph connectors and halogen overhead lights. This driver is perfect for working with EMT, boxes, outlets,etc. As a geezer with OA in both hands, this thing is perfect.

This is definitely my guilty pleasure tool. I thought it was gimmicky but cool when I first saw it… and wound up picking one up. Once I got used to it, it became my favorite electric screwdriver (also have the Skil, and vessel)

I work on RC cars as a hobby. I own one of those. Only my model has a handle that turns 90 degrees. I use it for torx bits. WOrks great and saves my wrist. I didn't like the gyro at first, but I caught on fast. Now I can't live without it. Mine also came with a bag and a bit holder that sits on top of the unit.

I do HVAC/R and I tell you that 5/16 & 1/4 drive bit is amazing on our side. Those are the two most common screw sizes. Enjoy your videos brother keep up the good work.

I’ve had two of these for years. They’re so good I bought a second one so I didn’t have to waste time changing bits on jobs with different fasteners.

I have a Bosch GO 2 for a year now, bit smaller, 3.7V, but it has become my most used cordless screwdriver!

I bought this a while ago it's actually quite useful. It's sometimes a bit lack luster in its rampup when twisting your wrist but it's pretty awesome.

Appliance installer here. The less bulky my tools are to get behind a stacked washer dryer is a plus. This is a must have tool

Bought this thing a while back and love it.

Really appreciate your practical perspective on these things. "0 RPMS" may be important - when the battery runs or the torque is too high you might want to be able to use it like a regular screwdriver...? Really like those Amazon gadgets - really handy! 👍

Hey man i appreciate your videos, Much love from Tennessee!

I really like this tool. As an electrician, it makes installing receptacles, switches, and fixtures a breeze. Not enough power to do real damage. Enough power to re-tap screw holes when necessary. Mainly use it for #6 and #8 screws. The quick change chuck is nice. Runs plenty long per charge. Much lighter and less bulky than using an impact driver.

Thats a pretty neat tool, compact and has enough torque, thanks for the vid

I have had one of these for years it’s definitely worth the money if you are doing a lot of cabinet pulls and plugs and switches and tool maintenance

Dude this thing has been around for years and your now getting one lol. I got mine about 8-10 years ago and it’s still going strong with the same battery. I use it everyday for work.

Wouldn't have thought to purchase this if I hadn't seen your review. Absolutely love it. Especially appreciate seeing those bits on a carabiner. Genius idea. Only downside is that we probably won't see Cataract Bob using one cause it's too small. Thanks Wes, really appreciate your time cranking out this video. 👍🏼

I have one and use it all the time. Love it.

I have an older model Dewalt screwdriver. Pretty light and handy. Excellent for working on cabinets.

I’m surprised most people don’t have this in the house. I’ve used for years with building the new Christmas gift or baby crib and toys. Two batteries at least 5years old. Love your shorts.

I got one these bad boys possibly a year ago..love it. Thought I'd use it for work but ended up using it for electronics. One thing that screwed me was, tightening a screw, wrist cramped a bit and boom board cracked 😂

This screwdriver is a great tool. I own one and have since I got it on sale years ago. Super useful.

Had a B&D back in the 90s. When you have a lot of screws to remove/install they're handy.

I have this magnificent tool since 2015. It goes with me everywhere I go as a Field Service Engineer. Only mine switches to gun shape when you push the locking button.

I like it no reverse switch just turn the wrist for direction and speed very nice. Thanks for the video I have been watching your shorts everyday for a long time. I appreciate the longer video

Is it just me, or does everyone else want to grab a beer with this guy? I feel like it would be a blast
