Weird Black & Decker Screwdriver Features

Written by Chris Rodenius | 18 December 2008

Take a look at this innovative feature from B&D. The Lithium-Ion SmartDriver with Exclusive Magnetic Screw-Holder. Every time I see this photo I can't help but laugh. Not that this is a bad idea from B&D, but your standard magnetic bit tip holders do the same thing, and have been around for years. Plus at only 3.6 volts, its not like this gun will be driving 3-inch deck screws.

I guess the average user would find this useful for light duty work, or crafts, but would also be using very short screws, so I fail to see the point.

I'm not a huge fan of Black & Decker stuff , but one thing thats cool about them is they are not afraid to try out new things, even if it's a bit gimmicky. I havent made the switch to these little drivers. Skil kind of kick all these little guys off, seems like everyone makes them now. I still use my versapak driver in tight spaces, and use a 12 volt drill for assembly and light drilling.
If I was to fork down some cash, I think I would up the anty and get the Bosch version with 2 removable batts.
