Adjustable grip for close quarters Black & Decker is not the best name in power tools, but in my experience they have some solid offerings. In fact, I have a Black & Decker cordless power drill that has lasted me over 10 years.

Forward, Reverse and a Spindle Lock I have used this for a bit over 6 months and so far I really like it. I keep it in a drawer in the kitchen so it is easy to just grab and fix something up.

It is far lighter and easier to carry around than a cordless drill and this baby can be had for about $20-$30, which is a reasonable price. Note: Though still readily available, this screwdriver has been updated with the which adds a bit more torque and a small LED light.
