As a modding influenced review site, we have mentioned more tools than some handyman repair sites. Of course the well known rotary tool gets mentioned as well as jigsaws and nippers, but that still leaves the rest of the computer. Most PC enthusiasts have a favorite screwdriver; it may fit well in hand or has a good tip. I tend to look for the same screwdriver every time I go to mount or remove a motherboard. I twist my wrists for 9 tiny screws and move on to the PSU, slot cards, hard drives or optical drives or even fan controller. The fact is that by the time I finish building a PC, I feel like I have been screwed to death... err I have had enough screwing… I feel that there are too many screws to do by hand. OK enough with the puns.

I was introduced to Milwaukee 's small cordless screwdriver at a system builders shop. At first it actually brought out a chuckle. Here's this small cordless driver; similar in diameter to an empty paper towel roll. I thought to myself, “what good is that thing?” The guys offered one up to me and away I went. This little screwdriver allowed me to get all 9 screws in just a few seconds.. I was immediately impressed. Well these things were so old that Milwaukee doesn't even make them in the same color anymore. I decided to see if the new ones lived up to their predecessors and felt there were many readers that might be interested. I assume that most of you use your tools around the house also. I felt I would try this out with some remodeling plans I have to get done as well. This will let us know if it can handle a variety of uses.

Milwaukee has been around over 80 years. They specialize in heavy duty electric tools for the professional user. I doubt that there is anyone reading this that is not already familiar with the competition. Milwaukee competes with the likes of Bosche, DeWalt, Hitachi , Porter Cable and Rigid. If you know tools then you're already aware that none of these brands are like the Black & Decker or Skill tools you see in the local hardware store for $20. Milwaukee makes some of the best tools on the market.
