Black & Decker 6-volt Pivotplus driver
Weight: 2 pounds.
What It Comes with: A Phillips/ flat-head double-ended screw tip (drill-bit kits sold separately), a cell phone–style charger that plugs into the end of the handle (easier than removing the batteries), a light to help you see what you’re doing, and a tape measure you can use while it’s attached to the drill or on its own.
How It Works: The training bra of drills, this one will not intimidate even the most power tool–phobic. The two gears are marked drill holes and drive screws, and a button adjusts the handle so you can work straight on or at an angle. It’s a great choice for putting together ready-to-assemble furniture and toys because it’s so light and easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
