I have owned several compact electric screwdrivers and this is definitely my favorite. Others may offer a little more torque and features like bit holders but this one, because of its design, is the most useful.
We mostly use this in a shop on our farm on machinery. One of this screwdriver's primary advantages is that the extension is mounted at the top of the body. Other models that have the extension mounted lower make it so you cannot access tight spaces. Because this one is at the top that surface can lay flush against a surface while operating.
The extra extension ability is very useful and totally reliable. We have never had one slip. They adjust quickly with just one thumb. We often use adapters for sockets as well as screws. It should be noted that overall, this screwdriver is actually more compact than most so not only does it give a better work angle, it is smaller in the hand and can often fit into tighter locations like in engine bays than some of the others we own.
None of these compact drivers have the power to compare with larger drills but they can tackle a ton of little projects, we use these more than any other electrical tools. The LED light is average compared to others and always comes on whether using forward or reverse, but only when the trigger is being squeezed. Battery life is as expected, we always keep them charged.
This is our second of these so I now have one to keep in my truck and one to keep in our shop. We like it that much. My father likes some Black & Decker drills I bought him years ago that he likes a little better because they are larger but he frequently has to switch to this one since it fits where others can't.
It would be great if these would come with a belt pouch or case, at least a way to keep the included bits with the drill.
