Can this be used as just a basic screwdriver.....for any project/material?

I haven't used it for anything but drywall. I did a little Google search and some say it's too powerful for longer screws and may just twist the heads off. IMHO, not delicate enough for smaller projects.

They are mainly for laptops (well that's all I use them for), all I had to do was apply a decent amount of pressure and the teeth gripped and the screw came out. I tried w/ pliers and different screwdrivers and this is the only thing that worked.

I believe it would be too much power. It uses one sided driver bits which are very common, but not in the sizes or head shapes you would need. I'm referring to the T bit heads. It would work if you could find the bits with the correct heads, but it would be a great deal of power going into such a small screw not made for that kind of torque. I would really not suggest it based on the applications you described

Sure. Just got to be careful as with anything. It comes with small screw drivers and the plastic part removal. It worked fine for disassembling a Galaxy note 2 to replaced a broken screen.

I used it for a Dremel. I am unaware of what other products it can be used for. However, as long as you have a tool that can hold the bits I do not see why something else would not work.

This could be used for that purpose, but turning a bunch of hardware with the various wrenches on this tool might be a pain in the ass. It is a very bulky thing to have to twirl over and over.

Yes, I am an Electrical Engineer and I have used mine for assemblyand disassembly of electronic equipment. It has proven to be a very handy tool.

I've not used the Radio shack screw drivers ? These seem to be OK in the durability department, but they are not professional grade. If your a home owner-tinker', do you need professional grade KLEIN Tools ????

Its very simple. You can use it on a screwdriver handle, or you can use it on any type of drill/driver or screwdriver drill.

Like I said before, I would recommend a drill. It was really difficult when I tried using a screw driver at first. You don't need anything fancy, though. Mine was just a little chargeable mini drill.

First, this not an impact driver. It is a light duty screwdriver for use on screws less than 2-1/2" long. I wanted this for Christmas for very light duty work and I think it will be fine. I checked the tool, the box it came in and the owners manual. Hardly any specifications are given. My comments pertain to the B&D; BDCS801 8volt screwdriver.

yes it is variable and it can be used as a screwdriver - but it is pretty powerful for that use so go slow.

To clarify the other answers, if you carefully set it to the middle position, neither forward nor reverse, it locks the spindle. Thus you could use it as a hand screwdriver.

If you use hex ended drill bits you can. However, the driver turns slowly so it would only work for soft material with not a lot of depth needed. I only use it for started holes for screws.

Seems a bit much for computer repairs only. I would think you would want something smaller and lighter. It would be safe as you can set the clutch so you wouldn't be stripping out screws. That said this is a great all around drill/driver that I use everyday and all day for installing blinds and drapes. I've driven screws from a 1/2" #4 to a 4" #12 without a problem. If it's as tough as previous versions this will last for years.

Yes, it is perfect for that because you want to use a tool that can withstand some pressure or gives you grip while doing the finer, delicate work. I used it to open the back of a blood pressure monitor, which has some of the smallest screws. Even if it is difficult to see the screw head, you can use the tool to find it.

Yes, you can. This is pretty much what the tool was designed to do. I think I was hoping I could work with thinner material.
