Odds are good that, no matter what kind of furniture you’re putting together, it’s going to come with a big baggie full of assorted screws and fasteners. From precise screws to large bolts, there is going to be a lot of fastening in your future, especially if the piece you’re assembling is larger and more complex. All this work should start with a stalwart screwdriver, but instead of straining your wrists on twisting, get a motor to do it for you.
Ryobi’s Cordless ¼ in. Screwdriver is remarkably compact for a powered screwdriver, measuring in at only 7.3 inches across. Within that slim body is a 4V motor powered by a micro-USB-connected battery, which you can charge up at any outlet or powered USB slot. Just stick a screw drill bit in the chuck, flip the switch, and you’ve got powered tightening and loosening action. For added convenience, there are a pair of LEDs on the tip that illuminate your target.
