you can also get a socket wrench for $14 and a driver/drill combo for $50. Cheap but don't expect to last.

If someone has any suggestions on the ideal cordless screwdriver (e.g. light, as easy to use as possible, some safety features maybe), I would appreciate it.

This type of tool is perfect for putting together IKEA furniture, or any other type of boxed furniture. Its pretty lightweight, and has about as much torque as hand tightening to medium tightness. You don't really have to worry about overtorqing, which is why this thing is convenient.
I dunno if I would consider this a "DIYer" tool. This is not a drill/driver. Its not intended to replace or compete with 20v tool lines. This isn't the tool to use for woodworking. This is a homeowner tool you use this to put together junk you buy online, and for that purpose it excels.
Two negatives with this design. One is that the magnetic bit holders suck. Second, it charges by micro-usb. USC-C would have been great, but I'd take micro-usb over proprietary barrel charger any day.

And I appreciate the info on the wireless screwdriver vs. drill discussion. I am most certainly not looking for a drill at this stage.
Is there a wireless screwdriver that recharges uses USB-C that you'd recommend? It's not a huge deal I suppose, I figure these don't need to be recharged that often.
Also, great info with regards to the magnetic bit holders. What is the alternative--bit holders that screw into the rotating bit? I think I'd prefer those. I really do want one of these for "putting together junk you buy online" as you say. And I don't find myself doing it that often, but when I need to I think it would lead to a lot less fumbling around.
The one feature I'm also curious about is if any of these wireless screwdrivers would enable me to rotate the drill bit 90 degrees, so that I can turn screws in a situation where there isn't enough clearance for me to be directly in-line with the screw I am driving. If I could line up the drill that is positioned upside down and still hold the screw driver parallel with the floor, and have it work out which way is tightening it without having to use a lot of spatial skills to figure out which direction is clockwise, etc., that would be great.
Thanks.

The twist version in the OP basically turns the pistol grip one into this style https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeab...91
I don't personally know of a USB-C version of this tool, which is why I'm hesitant to ding it too much for Micro-USB. I'd agree its not that big a deal as battery life is quite good, so charging isn't that common an event.

I have a manual craftsman with the double-movement clutch so I'm happy with that, and also a 20V which is much better for heavier work. I even have a 4mm powered one that is pretty cool and about the right amount of torque for laptops, 2.5" peripherals (they're fine for 3.5" but better on smaller stuff), other small items with smaller screws.
It's not some magical feat that this works well, I think most of them do, it doesn't require a lot of power to assemble common household items.
AFAIK, these little screwdrivers are mostly liked, just not enough for bigger jobs or heavier screws/bolts.
