Dewalt DCF610S2 10.8V Cordless Subcompact Screwdriver

Brand new from DeWalt’s subcompact range, Neil demos the DCF610S2 screwdriver. Small, perfectly formed and packing loads of power. It also benefits from all metal gearing, with 15 torque positions, giving the tool a longer and more reliable life-span. Even with the metal gearing, it only weighs in at less than a kilo!

We like the ergonomics of the handle due to the battery  slotting into the base of the tool. This gives the tool the familiar DeWalt profile, allows you to get a better grip and adds a certain robustness. Perhaps you have to see it/hold to know what we mean!

Also available on Vimeo and DailyMotion. Download the m4v and ogv files.

Features:

• Compact, lightweight design
• 15 Position adjustable torque control for consistent screwdriving into a variety of materials with different screw sizes
• All metal gearing for efficient power transmission and long tool life
