Best price ever by a long way.
Pretty cheap for a cordless screwdriver. Can even use Allan keys with it.
CamelCamelCamel.
It's not about the voltage as much as it is about how many amps the motor consumes at that particular voltage, i.e., 3.6 volts.
Furniture assembly…
Those cheap BBQs have like 100 screws
Yep.
Put up a trampoline for Christmas and reckon the two hour job would have taken six if I didn’t have a cordless.
You really don’t need this if you already have cordless drill / drivers, but if you don’t, this is a great deal for the electric screwdriver and bits.
If this has the power to drive 200 screws I'll eat my left nut.
@[Deactivated]: Based on what?
Personally, I use mine for other purposes, but who are we to stop you from only using your testicles or mouth for hypothetical displays of angst against products neither of us have ever used?
@UncleRico: i assembled an ikea sofa bed thing and it killed a 2.0 amp bunnings battery in a std. drill driver
so for big jobs yeah
but i mean you guys should have so many batteries what does it matter
@UncleRico: Based on battery capacity so vanishingly small it isn't listed, the inability to swap in cells, and the efficiency of such cheap nonsense (both in output and charging) being about as highly rated as fat bastards sustained cardio abilities?
@[Deactivated]: How do you know the battery capacity isn’t so unfathomably large that it couldn’t comfortably accomodate the rather random benchmark of 200 screws you’ve indicated it needs to complete so that you can feel justified ingesting you’re own genitalia?
In any event, at just 3.6v, the battery draw will not equate to what an 18v hammer drill or drill driver consume - nor is this device intended to be a replacement for them - hence the $15 price tag. Other posters have indicated it has comfortably met requirements exceeding your bizarre 200 screw baseline.
Unless, of course, you were secretly hoping it can’t handle 200 screws and you don’t ever have to handle your own balls?
The plot thickens…
@[Deactivated]: Dunno about 200 screws… Trick with these things is they spin the screw and then you torque them tight with your wrist before the motor loads up and the battery will last.
I a non lithium one when I was doing traffic signal installation many years ago and it would do easily do 200 small terminal screws…
There's 100 terminal screws minimum per Traffic pole.
The Bosch IXO was only just released back then and was a big upgrade for torque, speed and longevity
Yep I have done a full uninstall of PC monitors (probably 250 monitors X 4 screws X 2 times - unscrew and screw) and remount onto VESA mounts before in one charge before, so charge on these are pretty well.
IMO this is the perfect use for such a thing. IT guys who swap out hardware. A friend had one which we used to use on our bi-annual LANs (back before broadband was available/affordable). Made bump in and bump out so much faster
@Matt P: Yes it was pretty valuable in the cases I am talking about, we had to bring our own tools - but didn't really let us know what - and were given fixed rate to do things.
Finished well before half time as we guessed what we needed before (electric screwdriver, laptop/tablet, LAN tester and a set of walkie talkies - if we didn't have even one of these the job would have taken much longer) then when starting worked out who knew to do what - I did the monitors, mounting and complex AV, then others did all the asset logging, cable rip out and final QA.
That job was so poorly scripted but thank god we all seemed to work out what we needed to do.
@DH: Why not keep the electric screwdriver a secret, finish the job twice as quick, then read Buzzfeed for the rest of the allotted time?
Or get Allen key bits for your cordless driver
And have a wrecked wrist at the end of it!
As an alternate Ikea has the following:
$25 Screwdriver, li-ion, 3.6 V https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/fixa-screwdriver-li-ion-7020325…
$59 Screwdriver/drill, li-ion, 7.2 V https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/fixa-screwdriver-drill-li-ion-7…
$69 Screwdriver/drill, li-ion, 14.4 V https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/fixa-screwdriver-drill-li-ion-6…
They sometimes have them on sale (I am sure I bought the 7.2 V model for a lot less) and after several years ago and still going strong for home furniture and IT use.
The 3.6 V would probably suffice as well. I would not recommend it for anything more complex.
Nice find! I prefer the Ikea (includes 10 bits vs 4 on the Bunnings version) however I do have dozens of spare bits of various from others (torched the motor on a more expensive Bosch 3.6 v a dozen or more years ago).
Or you could have some respect for yourself and buy a Bosch IXO … unsinkable!

Nah i think I'll buy an Ozito based on your recommendations
I have this for pc building, flat pack furniture and other small stuff swivel handle make it much easier to get into some places
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-3-6v-cordless-screwdriver-…
I am surprised you are able to fit this inside a computer case, looks fairly unweildy
it has an extension piece that will get you most places and mostly doing things like panels, fans, rads, psu, gpu, ome motherboard screws and then obviously the tight corners you need something like this:

It also has to do with the brand and the motor they use.
My Bosch Go 2 screw driver is also 3.6v, I have used a drill kit to drill a screw hole on the wall for fixing something, I have also used it to drill through a CoolerMaster case's sheet metal for water-cooling modding.
Obviously the higher voltage ones stronger, doesn't mean the 3.6v screw driver is weak.
They are all made in China but you'd think Black+Decker could afford to use a better Chinese designed motor than "XU1" can seeing as they charge a lot more. Black+Decker may just be a brand these days but it's still a brand that's worth more than any originally native Chinese brand.
Yeah, most things are "Made in China" but that does not mean they are all of the same quality, Compare Ozito to Milwaukee, Makita or Dewalt, all of which come out of factories in China (Makita make stuff all over the world, but most of what we get is Chinese) and there's a gulf of difference in quality and quality control.
It's about torque and gearing, these aren't like an 18v impact screw driver, they are not for screwing in chipboard screws into chipboard or anything without first pre-drilling a hole, they are for removal and replacement of screws, have a Bosch IXO for 6yrs, it has 1 18650 battery, that thing works well and even operates my manual (live off grid) coffee grinder every morning, doubt this will last that long!
The Bosch has that much Scooch that if the drill bit does not cam out of the screw, it twists your arm till you remove finger from trigger.
$0 with Prime? is this refer to total price inc delivery?
Delivery is $0 if you have Prime, if you don't then minimum spend $39 to get free delivery.
So how much is/was this? Title lacks any inclusion of price.
best price ever indeed when it's not in the title :)
It seem OP had the price, but a power user removed it when editing the title
$15.23 + Delivery ( Free with Prime). Thanks OP
Great find, OP please add price to the title
I did but the mod stuffed up the revised listing.
Revise it again and re-add the price?
$15.23, saved you a click.
Cheers OP :)
Ah screw it, I'll by one. I need a drill to drill holes into plastic printer ink tanks so this will fit the bill. I bet this will get holes in drywall too for mounting cameras and smoke alarms.
i love buying random things ill never use, thanks ozbargain for making me buy bargains
Twix dun goofed, not OP's fault as they added the price in the title without the '+ Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU' (As required when you list an Amazon product) and Twix accidentally removed it by adding that spiel
I see you buy I buy too Thanks
Its over guys…. that was quick
Was it free?
Thank god ive cancelled my prime.
No more random junk ill ever use
When I didn't have prime I just made sure I spent $39 before ordering, so if anything prime has helped me save money.
I meant now i cant click buy now for any random item less than $39.
So not having prime is saving me money
Unobtainable deal?
10yr old 18V bosch blue impact driver is my go to for any screw jobs
A great way to destroy any Ikea assemblies. They are two very different tools.
I’ve assembled many Ikea pieces with my brushless impact Makita 18v none destroyed but it has screw mode called “T” just for screws
Does it vibrate the screws in? Nothing beats a drill driver with a clutch setting for flat pack.
But you would probably get away with an impact driver.
@Korban Dallas: That sounds like a good feature
Yes it impacts them in
The newer Ikea packs have metal fixings but even plastics were fine just don’t overdo it
T mode is definitely not for IKEA furniture. Its for fixing self drilling screws. Mostly for roofers imo for like Sheetmetal and such.
You have much better control just using the regular weakest setting on the impact.
I kind of agree, I've used my 18V Makita for most of IKEA assembly, but people who don't use 18V tools often are better off using weaker tools like in OP or non electric.
Quality tool, but overkill for flat packs unless your careful or use a drill on low clutch cutout setting, too easy to strip the stuff out, that's where a cordless screw driver is good choice, just not this rubbish!
Or any quality brand (certainly not Ozito!) my Bosch IXO cordless screw driver get daily use and still goes long times on a charge after 6 yrs.
Is this compatible with my nerf bullets?
Elite-style darts only, not the Ultras
No, you'll need a crossbow.
I need to one to for ozito brush head…for scrub. OOS!
3.6V? May as well hand screw at that point.
