Low voltage cordless screwdriver?

[JDuke]

I have a 4volt Milwaukee cordless screwdriver that I really like for finesse tasks when an impact or drill would blow past a failure point, like putting a computer back together or putting a switch plate back on. 

The batteries are beginning to fail and replacements are cost prohibitive.

Any good recommendations on ones you like, I am primarily interested in ones that have a straight form rather than pistol grip.

Thanks
Duke

I got one of these as a gift a few years ago.  I don't use it much, but every time I do, I wonder why I don't use it more often.  It's gyroscopic, which I had never heard of and thought was a little gimmicky, at first.  But it really works well.

Just to put this out there, I have found these guys to be inexpensive and reliable for battery rebuilds. Might be worth asking for a quote.

Same,  we use them to drive screws in to plastic as its easy to control speed and not melt the threads.  I am with you thinking it would be gimicky, but it works surprisingly well, it does take a short time to get used to the idea though.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have put one of the dewalts in my Amazon basket, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.  

As for. MTO, I have used them in the past for some dewalt 18v batteries and was thouroughly unimpressed with the longevity of the rebuild.  Maybe they have gotten better.

Check on Batteries Plus Bulbs. last year I found replacement batteries for a 20 year deWalt flashlight there.

I recently got the Metabo screwdriver.  It comes with two batteries, a charger and one Phillips bit.  It has a light and that is handy.  Just $60.00.  Includes a nice case.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L78...UTF8&psc=1


It is not a substitute for a screwgun.  I doubt it can drive a drywall screw all the way home. 

But it is handy and fast for assembly work.

Got the dewalt mentioned above, really like the variable speed based on gyroscope, it’s very intuitive

Hope you like it.  It is very easy to use, once you get used to it.  I really should use mine more often.

I use the Metabo on small wood screws that hold Blum hinges in place.  The clutch is very reliable and I never strip the screws. My battery-powered electric drill also has a clutch, but either it is not as repeatable or it does not go down to the low torque that these screws require, as it was resulting in stripped screw holes.
