Dremel Home Solutions Electric Screwdriver
Everyone needs something like the Dremel Electric Screwdriver around the house. The question is whether Dremel makes a product that draws attention. This model runs off of a 4V rechargeable battery that—and that’s a good start. We prefer rechargeable solutions to anything corded or powered by more bulky batteries. according to Dremel, this tool cranks out a maximum of 360 RPM. For a cordless screwdriver, that’s 20% more speed than the Worx 4V screwdriver but nothing like the speed of something like the DeWalt 12V brushless screwdriver. Given the $40 price—we think it presents a good value.
The Dremel Electric Screwdriver targets light-duty use and seems to have the finesse to tackle those jobs around the house. It features a 6-position clutch that lets you set the right amount of torque. Smart Stop Technology, senses when the driver bit is not fully seated in the screw head and cuts power. This keeps you from accidentally damaging your fastener heads. Dremel may want to market that feature to other manufacturers’ full-size drills!
The 7″ Dremel HSES-01 screwdriver comes with a 7-piece hex bit set, as well as a bit extender for accessing tight spots. It retails for $39.97 at The Home Depot.
Dremel 4V Rechargeable Flashlight
At 5-1/4″ long, the Dremel 4V Rechargeable Flashlight casts 500 lumens of 5000K LED lighting up to 650 ft away. A beam focus function also lets you select a wide or focused beam.
The integrated 4V Li-ion battery lets the Dremel Rechargeable Flashlight run for 4 hours on High. Medium gets you 8 hours and, on the lowest setting, you can expect up to 24 hours of runtime. Dremel even claims it can hold a charge for up to 2 years, so if you happen to pull it out of retirement for that time you really need a light—it should fire up for you.
The Dremel HSFL-01 features an aluminum frame with rubber bumpers on the front and back for impact absorption. It carries an IP67 rating, meaning that it’s well-protected against water and dust.
Like the Dremel cordless screwdriver, you can buy their Home Solutions 4V Flashlight exclusively at The Home Depot. They carry it both online and in-store. These tools carry a 2-year warranty and you can pick up either for $39.97.
