An excellent cordless screwdriver recommendation

Decided to share this little bit of Good Info with the list. If you're like me, you probably turn away from most of those small, in-line cordless screwdrivers. Well, here's one to keep an eye out for, when you're browsing the garage sales, flea markets or thrift stores.. it's the best of the best ever made. The Black & Decker 9038 (Image attached) This particular model was good enough for Snap-On to re-badge (and re-color it, red & black) as a Blue Point Cordless Screwdriver - which they sold for silly $$$. Do NOT confuse it with ANY of the similar appearing models, no matter how close they may seem. Only the 9038 will do! They were only sold during the 1989-1992 era; later discontinued. The battery packs are no longer available, but can easily be re-built with generic NiCd cells. I've done at least two of them, this way, and they run quite a bit longer & stronger with modern NiCd cells. With its dual-planetary gear sets, this unit makes enough torque to break small screws or damage your wrist.. and it locks-up solid any time you're not running the motor - no need to 'shift gears' to reverse or lock the shaft. Reversing is simply a matter of moving the switch one way or the other. Find one, rebuild the battery, and put it in your kit. You'll love it.. one of the only electric tools I've used for 20+ years. Hope you find this useful.
