I'm a fire alarm tech and I bought this tool primarily for testing duct detectors and hanging alarm panels. After reading the reviews I really didn't find the batteries to run out of power quickly. It is a bit slow but I'm used to using a 18 v Dewalt. I'm looking at getting some of the other M12 tools, like the impact and hammer drill. I can honestly say I nothing but pleased so far.

Comment:
I ended up with the M12 screwdriver because it came as part of a combo deal, along with the Milwaukee multi-tool, which is also a great tool. I really only wanted the extra battery, as I had just bought a new M18 fuel drill/driver, so I didn't really need a power screw driver. I have to say I underestimated the usefulness of this tool. I ended up using it exclusively to hang drywall in my living room, dining room, and kitchen. I also used it to install new cabinets, electrical outlets, etc. I also used it to pilot drill using hex shank drill bits, and install cabinet hardware. <br /><br />The bad: LED light is useless sometimes, as the light only shines below the bit, and if your in a dark corner, you can't see end of the bit. The speed is also slow for things like drilling, and running drywall screws, however it is not meant for those tasks. Other than that, I really don't have anything bad to say, because the two tools that I have used every day for 4 months are the milwaukee m12 multi tool, and the m12 screwdriver. The M18 tools I bought haven't seen much action, which is disappointing but I'm sure they'll have their day.
