Cordless screwdriver for tupperware

[longjohn]

Do you use a cordless screwdriver on your tupperware and if so which one and why?

I purchased a Cheepie from Costco, I used it at work for headlamp bezels, didn't want to strip the plasic. So hey how about my RT. Works great not much torque but the right amount of pressure to set the scews for riding.

Not much need anymore with the GT, but I used a small craftsmen with the RT. The lowest torque setting was ok when used with a light touch and a little care Whatever you buy, do yourself a favoe and make sure it has a lithium battery.

T-handle Torx is a good choice. Fast, never need charging, very little chance of cross-threading or stripping.

I've used a milwaulkee 3.6v because that's what I have left over from work. Down to my last battery pack and think I'll replace it with a Sears palm driver. I usually break the screws loose without power and then turn it on to zip them out the rest of the way. Going back in, I start them with fingers and keep a loose grip when powering them the rest of the way. Poor man's torque limiter.

I use a cheapie Black & Decker for removal (ONLY). I use a "T" handle for installing the screws to keep from stripping. It's good wrist exercise and safe.

I've used a small cordless screwdriver since I got my 1100RT, but I just upgraded to a new one with lithium batteries, as the old one wasn't holding a charge very well.

 

Low torque, break'em by hand, and use the power tool to spin 'em out.

I like to use the ratcheting drives built like a screwdriver. The ones that have a break in the handle so you can tilt part of it help fit some strange places, like the lovely pair of screws in front of the oil cooler.

Ryobi 4V lithium battery. Adjustable torque clutch, spotlight, lithium batteries last longer than NiCad. ~$40 at Home Depot. Finding metric hex bits in the needed sizes was difficult.

I start by hand and 2nd check manually but use a B&D palm version to spin em in once started. Not one for stripping stuff, don't start lug nuts with my air guns either.

Hitachi DB3DL 3.6-Volt Li-Ion Cordless Screwdriver

I have and use the $14 one from Harbor Freight.

 

I can strip all the plastic off the RT in about 5 minutes... well maybe 10.

 

It has enough "juice" to un-seat most of the Torx screws. I also purchased the Flex Drive extension at HF... makes a nice combo. Still have to use hand power to get the last ones under the front fairing next to the fork tubes... tight fit.

Thanks for all of your replies. I went with a reconditioned ryobi from amazon for $24.99, and I bought a cordless circular saw with it too.

Great info guys but what do you remove with a circular saw? Would make removing items easier but harder reinstalling!
