"Hi this is Nigel Gregory with Blue Griffin Handyman. Today we're going to show you how to buy an electric screwdriver for a gift. Now, first thing that you want to consider is what kind of use is the person going to be getting out of the screwdriver. Is it going to be on daily use? Long period of time on heavy projects and what not? You might want to consider getting something with an eighteen volt, cordless eighteen volt or even a twenty-four volt screwdriver. Then they make smaller models for just some light duty use around the house for smaller projects. And this is a perfect example of one of the smaller ones. And, it's a lithium ion battery, it's a little bit lighter and holds a charge longer. And this one is pretty nifty it has a flashlight on the end of it too. But, and it goes forward and backward, you have the buttons to reverse so you can screw in a screw or out the screw, and it comes with different attachments. As you can see here, you have your square tips, or the flat head, or Phillips of different varying sizes. This is a good example of it gives you a wide variety of uses. Again, you might want to use this for light duty and the eighteen volt, twenty-four volt for the heavier duty stuff. But a gift card is another good way to do it, that way the person can decide for themselves what they want, what they can afford and whatnot. But that's how to buy an electric screwdriver as a gift."
