Ryobi Tek4 Lithium Ion Screwdriver Review


In this video I review the Ryobi Tek4 Lithium Ion Screwdriver.

This is the old version of this screwdriver. It seems in Ryobi's glorious wisdom (Not) They have removed the ability to break screws by turning with the handle w/o power. I show how this works near the end of the video.

From an amazon review here:
http://amzn.to/2ouFVXv

"It seems that the variable torque feature is also the reason that my old one lost it's one-way clutch action: this allowed me to "break" loose a stubborn screw using the leverage of the handle before zipping it out with the driver. SO: with the new model, rather than make the weak feature better, Ryobi has chosen to simply eliminate it. BAD DECISION!Now the old version is scarce as hens teeth ($149 for what was originally $39 ??? Really!?!?)"

So buyer beware if yout think the new version will be better.
