This Milwaukee M12 cordless screwdriver kit, with charger, 2 batteries, and kit bag, model 2401-22, is currently on sale at Home Depot and Acme tools for $79.
$79 is a decent price for a cordless power tool kit that typically sells for $99.
But… I bought the same kit in 2018 as part of a Black Friday tool deal for $59.
We *might* see that deal again this year as an online special (as it’s not in Home Depot’s Black Friday 2020 tool deals sales flyer), and if so, that would still be a fantastic deal.
Should you buy it? Well… yes, if you’re looking to buy a cordless screwdriver.
So you have a drill? This tool’s going to be a little lighter and quicker to load with 1/4″ shank accessories. You already have an impact driver? This tool will give you more repeatable torque controls.
I find it’s a great complement to more powerful drills, and with a little more low-end torque control for use on smaller fasteners.

But maybe a cordless screwdriver isn’t right for you. That’s up to you to decide.
Frankly, I’d say that if you’re leaning towards getting a cordless screwdriver, either wait to see if this Milwaukee kit drops in price for an online-only Black Friday promo, or budget a little more for the Dewalt brushless option.
And if you’re undecided, maybe the following alternate options will help.

I Want More Versatility!
Milwaukee’s M12 Fuel installation tool is part drill, part screwdriver, and part awkward spaces problem-solver.
You can buy the kit right now for $179, which is how much the bare tool typically sells for.
I really like the M12 modular drill/driver, but for a lot of tasks not in tricky situations, I prefer the Dewalt a little better.
