Discount Kawasaki 840889 4-Volt Dual Angle Li-Ion Screwdriver

Customer Ratings:

Lots of things to like about this driver, but sadly it's going to have to go back...

Nice:clutch, swivel handle, sleeved bit holder, reasonably compact, lightbut not empty-feelingweight, independent LED light switch.

Not so nice:(unsurprising, really) NOT variable speed as mentioned in a previous review; reversing switch awkward to access; awful font for clutch setting numeralsas often found in Chinese instruction manuals; barely visible clutch setting marker arrow moulding; nasty cheap clear plastic over charge level LEDs; plug-in, rather than cradle, charger (though at least that avoids the problem of poor contacts); not terribly torque-y; "Kawasaki" branding sticker, while nice, is going to fall off in short orderand it is just a licensed use of the name, not like Hitachi or Panasonic...

The unacceptable:basically, you can't use it more than once or twice in a given direction before it will cease to respond to the triggerthe LED, if on, extinguishes, as if the battery was flat, but the charge indicators show good charge. And if you try to go the reverse directionit's fineone time...! Inspection shows the drill has an open metal leaf contact behind the trigger, not a microswitch. I'm guessing the odd behavior is due to some electrolytic action as the contacts arcat least that might be some sort of explanation! I wonder if this is the case for the whole slew of drivers that are getting bad reviews for their triggers...??

So, it's going back, and I'm going to get my Bosch IXO II sent over from the UKit'll be interesting to see how its battery is after 3 years rest...!

I purchased this item to replace a worn out Ryobi of about the same demensions and features. Unlike the Ryobi, this tool does not 'lock' once you've reached the twisting limit you've selected. It wasn't described as a feature, so I tried to adapt. Then the on button switch began to get intermittent. Without the lock feature, it made the tool unusable. Unfortunately, I didn't bother to look into returning it until after the return window expired. I couldn't find a Kawasaki tool website to seek manufacturer support. Bottom line, I would not recommend this tool.

I had one like this, but it was lost so this is a replacement, I just love everything about this tool, including the color

I had the first one for about a year, no battery problems like most screwdrivers like this, it lets you know when it needs

charging and stops charging when the battery is full so its just what i need.

I like that it has a pistol grip and converts to a screwdriver grip. I wish the light came on when you sqeeze the trigger. And the direction switch is kind of flaky but overall it's a good tool.
