Black & Decker VP800 cordless screwdriver 
This system should be re-marketed to the home owner. It's the best out there for most jobs. It's light, fast enough, extremely convenient if you have two versapak batteriesBlack and Decker VP105 VersaPak 3.6-Volt 1.2 Amp Hour NiCad Stick Style Battery, 2 Pack. I'm going to start giving them for gifts. Beats the new, bulky powerhouse tools hands down!

Easy to charge and use. It makes any job around the house so much easier with a tool like this.
Black & Decker Versapak Screwdriver
This is a replacement screwdriver for one similar to it. It lasted for years and was time to be replaced. B&D seem to have moved on to a new line of products with replacable batteries (Lithium Ion). The screwdriver is lightweight and well made. Versa Pak is a good system that allows the replacable batteries to be used in many different tools, but like I said B&D has a new line out and I wanted to replace my old screwdriver while it was still available.
Still the best - B&D, I hope you're listening!
As a serious home hobbyist and auto & boat mechanic, I have put this screwdriver (actually the earlier model) through its paces for the several years I have owned it. Many other battery screwdrivers and drill-drivers have come and gone from my shop. This one keeps going, especially with the gold batteries.
Also for really tough jobs, it's size, shape and strength make it the toughest manually-powered screwdriver I own. I want to purchase another one soon before B&D discontinues the line. I keep watching, but nothing in the modern Lithium Ion offerings compares with the simplicity and versatility of the Versapack screwdriver.
Very useful tool!
I purchased this to have around the house for small jobs, to save stress on hands and wrists. It does the job quite nicely. So far, it's been able to easily drive screws in each case we've tried - plaster walls, wood, aluminum, and do so with relative ease. There's a torque dial to help with the needed strength of turning. It's a little heavy to hold, but that's minimal, compared to the benefits.
I haven't figured out how to use the angled part well, because it makes it too hard (for *me, with hand problems) to drive the screw when you can't hold it straight. But I'm sure the angle would do fine if the particular screw use didn't require some hand pressure. Overall, I'd definitely buy it again. It's GREAT for anyone who has thumb and/or wrist problems that are exacerbated by using a standard screwdriver.
