Designed with You in Mind
The L1300 has several features that were designed with your comfort in mind. To start, this screwdriver has a soft-grip universal handle that allows for a full-hand or three-finger (body-wrap) grip. Additionally, a bottom pivoting trigger with upper hook eliminates finger dragging on the housing, and signature microtexturing guides correct finger placement. What's more, an intuitive forward/reverse indicator bar is ergonomically positioned on the back of the motor.

And for easy operation in a variety of conditions, this screwdriver features an integrated LED cannon light that angles toward the bit/screw.

The LI3100 is backed by a two-year warranty.

What's in the Box
LI3100; two bits; and battery charger.

This review is from: Black & Decker LI3100 Compact Lithium-Ion Driver with Cordless Rechargeable Screwdriver (Tools & Home Improvement)

Update - I liked this driver until it stopped taking a charge after less than a year.

I love my cordless Makita drill, but every time I need to use it, it has to be charged first - not exactly convenient. I bought my dad a small lithium-ion driver last year and got a chance to use it when I helped him with a project. It keeps its charge for over a year and is pretty powerful for a compact driver. So, I decided to purchase this B&D driver. I charge it once and store it. Then, when I need it, it's ready to go. It keeps a charge during most small projects and has enough torque to drive 2" screws into concrete. The LED light is an added plus. My only complaint is that the included bits cannot be attached or stored on the driver when not in use. This makes it easy to lose one of the bits. Other than that, it works great!

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Black & Decker LI3100 Compact Lithium-Ion Driver with Cordless Rechargeable Screwdriver (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am looking for a cordless screwdriver to replace the B&D 9078 (multi-position handle, multi-setting clutch) that I had happily used for many years. Unfortunately, my 9078 finally died. (As with most of these B&D rechargeable screwdrivers, the battery is not user-replaceable, and it is cost-prohibitive to have it replaced at a B&D authorized repair shop out of warranty.) Although the 9078 is still sold on-line and in stores, I wanted to move up to a lithium-ion battery. I have other lithium-ion power tools, and I love the long shelf life between uses, greater power to weight ratio, and fast recharge.

During my search, this B&D LI3100 model caught my eye. However, please note that Amazon's Technical Details listing is incorrect: the LI3100 does not have a multi-postion handle nor does it have an adjustable clutch (for further details, check the B&D website [...]). Based on reviews that I have read on other sites (only one review here on Amazon), this still appears to be a very handy screwdriver (hence my presumptive 5-star rating). However, if you want a lithium-ion battery, plus the adjustable handle and clutch (as I do), you'll need to keep looking.

P.S. I note that many of the reviews for similar rechargeable screwdrivers criticize the limited torque/power of these units. Please remember that these are "cordless screwdrivers" - not "cordless drills". You can't use one of these to build a deck, but they are very handy for a host of other uses: hanging pictures, attaching/removing fixtures, and many other handy-man jobs.
