Just picked up this drill master for $7.99 after coupon after seeing it mentioned here. How can you go wrong just to try it out? 4.8 volts so decent power

Yeah, I burned up 2 of them, then asked my wife to get me the M12 for Christmas or my b-day and it's been working great for a few years. The B&D ones work well for what they are. Both of mine started slipping internally after a while.I guess it's luck or something. I've NEVER had good luck with anything cordless, until I was given that Black & Decker, I mentioned above. It still amazes me at how the battery has lasted all these years.
Harbor just refunded my money for the drill master as it was on back order.Yeah these 4 and 7 volt power drivers easily burn up on many of these RC kits. I easily burned up one when I was building a HPI Baja 5B SS.
Since moving to a 12 volt it's been bulletproof.
I think that when it comes to power tools, I like a name I can recognize and trust. Scroll down the ad, and you'll see another, identical, but different branded one. I'd take that $30, and go to Home Depot and pick up something there. If it fails, you could just take it back within the warranty.What do you guys think of this?

I just received a similar one from Amazon with 6 torque settings and used it to install a TBR rear wheelie bar and bumper.What do you guys think of this?

I have a 4v Ryobi quick turn and it has enough torque to twist it out of your hand if you're not paying attention.I never had a 4 volt tool but someone here mentioned that it might not cut it power wise for arrma.
You might be able to get away with using this for light duty stuff, but in my opinion I would not waste my time or money on any 4v pocket driver.What do you guys think of this?

I went through 2 or 3 of those, ended up with a dewalt 7.2V for quite a while, it had NiCAD in it I think, then go the milwaukee M12. The lithium just does such a better job at delivering constant power/speed. Also doesn't have that half charged memory that made cordless tools useless many years ago.You might be able to get away with using this for light duty stuff, but in my opinion I would not waste my time or money on any 4v pocket driver.
An old saying comes to mind - "buy first what you'd buy last because you'll save a ton of money in the long run."I went through 2 or 3 of those, ended up with a dewalt 7.2V for quite a while, it had NiCAD in it I think, then go the milwaukee M12.

Well, in my defense, the M12 didn't exist yet.An old saying comes to mind - "buy first what you'd buy last because you'll save a ton of money in the long run."
Guess I know what I'll get if my old M12 ever dies.Anyone have the m12 2 speed hex driver?
Im curious how compares to the singke speed hex driver

Yeah, the lowest setting is just a hair too much for short M3 screws, especially if your running at full trigger. Seems ok on 12mm+ ones though.Update on my new m12 driver.
Oddly I loved it at work but I see it differently at home when using on my rig.
The clutch at work I set to 4 and usually screwing down metal to metal and always with metals screws and threads.
Using it on the kraton with metal screws into plastic.... A little sketchy.
