Jump to around 2:32 to see unpacking video showing the bit storage in handle.
The main knock against it is that every time I think the telescoping feature would be handy, the added girth from the bit holder in the tip got in the way more often than not.

I'm liking the Home Depot free delivery, by the way. I got one order delivered on the same day I placed it. I don't know if that's a new thing, but so far, I've had good experiences with it.

When you engage the speed feature you lose all torque. It wasn't 'less' torque - if there was any resistance, forget about it. In order to drive anything in, you have to have some pressure to prevent cam out, but if that pressure wasn't perfectly perpendicular and I was also pushing slightly off center, the added friction between the spinning collar/part and the handle made it impossible to turn. So, I would have to delicately balance between downward pressure on the screws to prevent cam out, while pushing lightly enough to avoid binding the spinning part.
It shines with machine bolts and pre-threaded stuff. You'll still need to switch to slow mode for that final 1/2 turn of decent torque, but you can always drive a bunch a screws in and go back to tighten them all at once to avoid switching modes constantly. In that case, it's pretty fun to use.
It did last a while and was easy to disassemble when there got to be tool much play in the mechanism. Again, this was the old version, but lasted a good 10 years of light-moderate use.
In all, if you're trying to avoid carrying a battery powered screwdriver/driver/drill, it's an okay option. I wouldn't buy another one, but I wouldn't return it if I got it as a present.
The V-series looks more useful to me. Seems like the exact opposite of the speeddrive - speeddrive for speeding up light work, v-series for for speeding up hard work.
No idea why I'm rambling so much about a screwdriver, lol.

I'm curious - is the SpeedDrive you're referring to here is the 6x-speed version (link [amazon.com])? I only just found out this morning that Craftsman makes two SpeedDrives - a 6x-speed and a 2x-speed (the 2x-speed is the one for which there's a slickdeal (here), to which I linked in my earlier post).
Based on my reading elsewhere, I am under the impression the low torque problem you're describing is much worse with the 6x-speed version. But I could be wrong.
Thanks again!
The packaging says 3.5:1, which sounds right. I can't imagine a 6:1 being useful for anything other than cleanly threaded, small bolts. Like I said, mine was much chunkier, which helped with getting a little more torque (better grip). The newer 2x version is probably much more tolerable than mine was.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow. I don't want to wake everyone up banging on stuff at 2am.
edit: Did a quick Google to see if there was anything obvious, but nope. I did find that it has a 2.7 star rating on DeWalt's own site, lol.

Just hold the screwdriver at a comfortable angle and strike the black knurled collar towards the handle while you turn the screwdriver. If you're worried about hitting your hand, you're doing it right! I didn't have to hit it hard, but got to the point of thinking, "Okay, this is a stupid way to get hurt. Maybe I should put this in a vice." Took 5 hits hard enough to scrape the paint, but not enough to bend anything. So, if holding it doesn't work for you, try bracing it in a vice and maybe using a second screwdriver with a flat head to direct the force.
Hope it works for you!
