I have this, bought last Cyber Monday. Just my two cents: it's a really nice tool to have around. You're not going to sink deck screws with it, but for around-the-house tinkering it's great.
It does "lock" when not running, so it can be used like a regular screwdriver. In other words, once the screw needs more oomph than what this will put out, you just finish it by hand.
It is really handy.
Thanks for the deal OP. Here is another one to consider as well. It comes with a case and I believe it is the lowest price it has ever been.

Bought this to sink deck screws based on the advice of SDers. Can't wait! Now just need a deck.

Great around the home screwdriver. As another commentator mentioned, your not gonna sink deck screws with it but around the home it will work a vast majority of the time. Single speed and no clutch but I have had mine for a couple of years and no problems! Does take a bit of a learning curve as the forward and reverse button is manipulated by your fingers and I had a tendency to drop the tool many times until I got used to operating the unusual switch position.

Is it one speed or does it have a progressive trigger? The one reason I hate my Ryobi is the one speed.

Just one speed, but has been working great for 2 years now. Only downside I could think of is the micro usb charging port.

I have this Skil screwdriver. Works good for changing the batteries in a Harbor Freight Flash lite. If you want to drive screws into wood, you will need the Craftsman model (CMCF604). I have both.

Thumbs down, Really? Just trying to tell people what to expect when you buy this product. Wood workers won't like it. If you use it for electronics, you probably will like it. I don't comment much on this site any more. Too many jerks.
