How long does the battery last before it's completely dead? And can this screwdriver be used like the toy?

It takes about four or five hours to completely drain the battery. And yes! It can be used like the toy! It has a wonderful FX mode, which, when the button is pressed, it makes the same sonic buzzing sound as it does in the show! For a full review of this product, I suggest the review done by votesaxon07, who does an amazing job explaining how this WONDERFUL product works!Here's the link: http://youtu.be/_wN3HjNg36c

The battery life is variable depending on how you use it and for how much. And yes it can be used like a prop, setting it to FX mode you can just have it make noise without actually sending codes. Also in FX mode unless the button is being pressed down, no power is being used.

Im not sure how long the battery will last because mine is not completely dead yet. It comes with an usb port, so you can charge it.My husband use it once in a while and its still works fine. It can be used as a toy, but maybe not for a kid with less than 8 years old because its a little bit fragil. Some parts are metalic and others plastic.

It's a lead acid battery just like your car or motorcycle. A full charge will last around 2-3 hours. I always plug my son's in after play and let it charge overnight. I believe it only takes 4 or so hours to bring it from the dead back to the living.

Battery life will depend upon hours of use and load required to rotate screwdriver

I used it primarily as an electric screwdriver. I don' think it would last long for real construction work.

If you know how to operate a screwdriver, you can replace it in about 7 seconds.Go for it!

You use an electric drill. It works better with a corded drill. A cordless battery goes dead too soon.

Just heard back from my son and he doesn't know either. Sorry I can be of more assistance. I do know tho, that mine lasted for a very long time. I can't locate it now tho to look at it to see if I could determine where the batteries would go. So sorry I can't help you out. But again...it's loads and loads of fun!!

Easy is relative. I'll just add to others' comments here by stressing how important it is to use the right screwdriver -- a small Phillips, in very good shape. I don't know what number. All 12 base screws have to come out, and three more for the battery. This is not where to cowboy it up with a "good enough" tool. If it's not in good shape, try again tomorrow after a trip to the cheap tool joint of your choice.

Definitely make use of the OFF button. The air mouse, as stated by Joseph D Roberts, will kill the battery in a few hours. This is because it uses a wireless signal to track its location in real-time. But if you just use the remote feature (only turning on the mouse when needed) it will only transmit when a button is pressed. I've had mine for 3 months (admittedly I don't use the air mouse very often) and it still hasn't died. If you find that it is still dying after charging and leaving the switch off, I would definitely think about getting it replaced.

Hard to say exactly, but I do know that when I put new batteries in and have the LED on it will last about 30 hours (I say this b/c I game about 5 hours per day and it lasts almost a week), but once it starts to die I just turn off the LED and I get another few hours out of it. Just make sure to turn it off when you aren't using it and it should be fine. Being that it's wireless and has LED this mouse actually lasts a long time. I've had this mouse for 3+ months and I have no issues with it whatsoever.

The Genesis GCD18BK cordless drill, is not awkward or clumsy by any standard, but a fully charge battery only last about 30mins if used continuously. It does not have any tangible torque. It is easy to use though.

Completely dead? If it is broken (dead) no, ... otherwise if the battery is completely depleted it will work. This has happened to me a few times. It also recharges very rapidly, ... about 2 hours for a full charge.

Troy may be right. Leaving the USB connected 24/7 may kill the battery. My arrow keys quit after 3 months. Next day the delete key reversed directions! Then the illumination keys quit. Logitech doesn't offer replacement batteries and I think mine is shot.

The one I bought lasted about 20 minutes. They are selling dead useless batteries

No. Save your money. I agree, my motor died also within 24 hours and I only used it sporadically. Wasn't the batteries either.

No screwdriver. I found just the battery. It works great. Hope this help, Filippo
