The Right Tool for the Job
Whether you're a serious craftsperson or a newly-minted do-it-yourselfer who's taking on home improvement projects to save money, you know that not all fastening jobs require a heavy, expensive drill driver. With the Milwaukee 0490-22 cordless screwdriver, you get the power and flexibility you need for quick repairs, cosmetic upgrades, and small-scale construction projects. And since this tool doesn't demand high power, you won't have to wait for extra battery recharges or deal with stripped hardware.Two-Speed Gearbox and 21-Position Clutch for Versatility
This cordless, four-volt screwdriver features a heavy-duty, two-speed gearbox that delivers 200 or 600 RPM for effective, job-specific performance. Its 21-position clutch features auto shutoff, which stops rotation of the bit once the desired torque setting is met, providing improved control. And a dedicated drill mode makes it easy to drill pilot holes or removed damaged screws. Quick-Change Chuck and Compact Body for Easy Handling
The screwdriver's quick-change chuck allows for fast, one-handed bit changes while you work, and it's snug bit grip prevents dropped screws when the screwdriver is inverted. At 11-5/8 inches long with an articulated body that lets you select whether you want to work with a stick-style or pistol-style grip, the 0490-22 is easy to maneuver in small or awkward spaces. The body is well balanced and weighs just 1.2 pounds for reduced operator fatigue. The screwdriver's small size also makes it easy to toss in your work bag and it is a breeze to store between jobs. Cordless, Lithium-Ion Power for Superior Run Time
With the cordless 0490-22, you won't ever have to deal with a nest of tangled cords. Its lightweight, 3.0-Ah lithium-ion battery delivers superior run time and long battery life. A convenient battery fuel gauge displays remaining run time, so you always know when it's time to recharge. Like all Milwaukee products, the 0490-22 is backed by a five-year warranty that protects against defects in material and workmanship. About Milwaukee

 It has a lot of torque February 25, 2010
Michael G. Lustig (NJ USA)
I was impressed with the amount of torque generated by this small cordless screwdriver. Combined with the Milwaukee 48-32-1505 40-Piece Screw Driving Set it handles almost anything that can be screwed. The jointed handle is good for fitting into small spaces. The charger and spare battery are top quality. I don't have any complaints.
 Milwaukee Electric Screwdriver January 21, 2010
Billy R. Tolbert
Bought this screwdriver as a replacement for another brand that I used that had broken. The Milwaukee was a bit pricey, but it was worth it because of its adjustable torque, the batteries last a long time and the interchangeable hub. I repair copiers and turning screws all day really makes my wrist sore. That is why I use the electric screwdriver. I would recommend the Milwaukee screwdriver for all the mentioned features and the fact that it will last for a very long time. Also, should it need maintenance, a repair facility is readily available unlike my old screwdriver. If you need an electric screwdriver, I would get this one.
good screw driver November 29, 2009
sokkie touch (Portland, OR)
this tool is not bad in my opinion. this is only the second screw driver i've owned, so don't let my opinion persuade you too much. previous to this milwaukee i had dewalt. this thing is ONLY good for removing and screwing in screws that were removed. not good for drilling, or screwing screws into new holes.

I am the proud owner of several Milwaukee tools some that are electric and some that are battery powered and have had nearly 100% satisfaction with all except for a few qualms with this screwdriver. It DOES have much longer battery life and more power than the predecessor 2.5 volt which probably makes it worth buying for the most part. THIS TOOL WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY AMOUNT OF WATER THAT GETS INSIDE, we're talking DRIPS!!! I have had a couple of these get ruined because of using in a partially sheltered area in the rain, and also one got barely dripped on under the edge of a cabinet near a sink while changing a dishwasher supply hose. There is a very small IC in the handle that shorts out when the leads get corroded with mineral deposits, soap, etc and will burn the unit out. (2) the battery keeps falling out. You can't use the unit like a manual screw driver as you could with the older unit as the gear mechanism is NOT a positive lock, and the battery twists locks so it keeps coming unscrewed and falling out. However you can lock the button on the side to use it this way. (3) Milwaukee does not make a case for this model. Regarding cases, it surprises me to no end that Milwaukee still makes a very space wasting slot in their cases for the manual. How many are there of you that are like me and like to keep your tool manuals CLEAN and organized in a file cabinet. How many of you actually look at your manual every time that you use your drill,etc?? Would you like to see some of that space actually used to hold driver bit accessories or something useful?? Please write to Milwaukee and let them know this!!
This screw driver's MFRS price of $250 is way out of range for what this unit is. Unless you are desperate for owning Milwaukee like I was, I would not give over $75 for this unit and am warning you to keep it away from any and all water. I informed Milwaukee of the Battery problem and they just brushed me off like it was nothing, and in no way shape or form was interested in improving their product. I am not one to abuse my tools and have not had any problems with the other milwaukee tools that I own.
Works great, but it's a little long. November 4, 2009
Kevin Lee
My trusty B&D power screwdriver finally died. Unfortunately, they don't make the model anymore.
I purchased Milwaukee 0490-22 4-Volt Lithium-Ion Screwdriver Kit and overall am pleased with the purchase. It holds a charge well, has good power, and gets the job done. I have one annoyance: it's longer than the B&D so it's tougher to fit in tight spots. You can bend the handle, but then you can't use it as a manual screwdriver to give it a little extra torque.
Overall, very pleased with the unit.
