Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker AS600 6-Volt Alkaline Battery Cordless Screwdriver
Customer Review: A Little Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a little disappointed with the product because I thought it would have more power. I tried using it a couple of times, but the drill bit just spun without tightening the screw. It required A LOT of pressure to get the screw to move, and I could have put that much pressure into it and done it myself.Customer Review: Very handy
Summary: 5 Stars
Very useful for light work. I like how the switches are positioned and in seems to be running a long time on the first set of batteries.Customer Review: Decent screwdriver -- you get what you pay for
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a totally acceptable screwdriver for the price. The power is not great -- I was putting up some shelves and couldn't get screws into the wooden studs at all. I had to put it in manual mode. Manual mode is pretty good -- it feels reasonably solid, if just the tiniest bit wobbly. The bit included (phillips on one side and flathead on the other) is easy to use. The grip is rubber and feels secure in your hand.
The screwdriver includes four double A batteries -- so there's no need to rush out right away and buy them. Overall, I would say spend a little more money and get something with more torque. But if you need something cheap for light chores, this will suffice.
Customer Review: Professional User
Summary: 5 Stars
I Frequantly work where electricity is not available to recharge most cordless tools. This driver I use to drive screws, small bolts an nuts, and drill holes in sheet rock, wooden studs and plywood, and metal framing at new construction. I cannot afford to wait for extended time while my screwdriver charges. Just carry spare batteries and I'm up and running in seconds.Customer Review: Great Cordless Screwdriver uses regular AA batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's what I like about this electric screwdriver:
1. Unlike most Black & Decker electric screwdrivers, this uses four standard AA batteries. This means that you don't have to worry about using B&D re-chargeables that are always dead when you need them. I load mine with Eneloop low-discharge rechargeable AA's, which retain their charge for up to a year. When they go dead, I just replace them with another set and I can continue using it.
2. It is smaller than other B&D electric screwdrivers.
3. It has a manual mode that allows you to use it as a regular screwdriver.
4. You can switch the bit from flathead to phillips.
