Porter-Cable gets into the deck and drywall businesses in a big way with this 6.8 amp screwdriver. Backed by 100-percent ball-bearing construction, this screwdriver boasts an aggressive "quiet" clutch that sets screws accurately and quickly in wood or metal studs. The reversible, variable-speed motor offers 0 to 2,500 rpm, and the nosepiece snaps on and off and features "set and forget" depth memory, letting you quickly dial in your countersink and not worry about it again. The driver feels right in the hand, too, with good balance, a soft grip, and a nicely integrated groove for your thumb and forefinger, making it very comfortable to operate with your hand directly behind the bit. A handy adjustable belt clip mounts to either side, which accommodates righties and lefties, and lets you quickly hook the tool to your belt when it's not in use, a more comfortable arrangement compared to the top-mounted clips you'll find on other brands. The screwdriver is built to last, too, with a strong, lightweight magnesium bearing plate, steel gears, a tough cast-aluminum gear housing, and a dust-sealed switch. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Anything you set out to accomplish with this baby is a zip. The 2500 rpms are more than enough to drive screws up to 3 inches with no prob into rafters, decking, and drywall. The depth setter is accurate, and allows for proper penetration into drywall. Grip provides comfort, and the belt clip seems durable, and hasn't broke yet, (as it has on my Dewalt). I always reach for this one... get it?

Tons of power

Skil 2936 needs better batteries
I purchased the Skil 2936 screwdriver and a spare battery Feb 2003 from Lowes. The screwdriver itself is light, balanced, and works good for very light tasks. However, The batteries will not hold a charge for more than a day or two, even when fully charged and just sitting idle. The batteries lose their charge even though they are not in the screw driver. If I want to use the Skil I have to make sure the batteries are charged the evening before I plan to use the screwdriver. While in use, the batteries last only a very short time. I contacted Skil via email about the problem and was advised to send it to a service center since Skil does have a two year warranty on this unit. I may or may not do that, as I don't really think the batteries are meant to perform any better since both the batteries hold a charge the same length of time. I did however recently purchase a Dewalt DW20K 7.2 Volt screwdriver from Tool Crib to replace the Skil, and so far have been very impressed with both the screwdriver and Tool Crib. When I bought the Skil, I remember standing in Lowes with the Skil in one hand and the Dewalt in the other and finally deciding on the Skil because I didn't really want to spend $100 on a screwdriver. Too bad, because I've now spent $140 for screwdriver that is usable.

Good Tool
Nice tool for nice price.. a good one. ... Read more
