New Worx Cordless Screwdriver
on: December 31, 2025, 10:21:34 PM
I used to use the B&D cordless screwdrivers and I love ved them but they are through four AA batteries pretty quickly, and they were slow.

Then I got a lightweight cordless B&D drill and I just used that for most of my cordless screw driving needs, but the charger for it was either misplaced, tossed or destroyed in our flood a few years ago, so I decided it was time for a new one.

I ordered this Worx one from Rona (Canadian Lowes or Canadian B&Q, depending on where you are!) last week and it arrived today.

It's a Worx WX240L 4V, three speed cordless screwdriver that is USB rechargeable.

Being able to recharge it with the same cord I use for my phone was a HUGE selling feature for me. I was looking at some from Milwaukee and Skil but as soon as I saw this one charged from a USB C cord I decided it was what I wanted.

I have a pile of Worx tools now, including two lawnmowers, two whipper snappers, a leaf blower, a chain saw, a small drill and a cutting wheel doodad, but they all run off the PowerShare battery system.  This one is a standalone device, but I've been pretty happy with the other Worx stuff so I've got high hopes for this one.

Oh, and I needed to spend a few minutes Xtra dollars to get free shipping, so I also bought this Bosch bit set, which includes actual drill bits with a hex shank to fit in the screwdriver.  It out me a couple of dollars over where I would have been without the set, so basically I got the bit set for a couple of dollars.  Seems worth it.

I'll let you all know how I get along with this one once I've got some mileage on it, but so far (just playing) I think it will work out quite well.

Naturally I had a bunch of things lined up to do with this screwdriver but I can't think of any of them now that it's here.   :facepalm:

I have been looking at this driver for months now but decided on the Amazon Basics one by SKIL a couple months ago because it had decent reviews and was on sale I think mine was less than 20 bucks. Had I seen the worx model I probably would have gotten that one (yours) but missed it, normally I never buy Amazon basic stuff (usually because they suck). I like the case yours come with.

The old model worx had a push-in magnetic bit holder but I think the new one has a twisting locking chuck does yours? (I can't tell from the descriptions or pictures online)  I hate bits coming out and staying in the chuck in tight places or anytime. I would have liked an 8V model but they are pretty expensive and I hardly need a power screwdriver now and why I went with the inexpensive 4V Amazon/Skil basic model.

No it's just a regular magnetic chuck on this one and I don't believe it has a retention ring.  I have only used it once so far and I'm away from home so I can't check.

It doesn't look like it in the picture so I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

I'd be interested to see how your SKIL one works out as that is one of the ones I was looking at initially.

your worx is on sale now at amazon for 39.86 right now. it went down to 29 bucks at xmas (after I bought the amazon/skil one   :facepalm:  )

and this one is on sale too which I have little knowledge of: the WX255L SemiAutomatic pistol driver

like something you'd be issued on the assembly line

one of my favorite youtube channels "Torque Test Channel" just came out (less than 1 hour ago) with a 15-1/2 minute video comparing these drivers (including 2 Worx models old and new and my Amazon Basics), fun watch if your into this:
