Pics or it didn't happen!
lol, just joking. Dewalt screwdrivers have always been a shorter-lived item than their full-size battery tools. Glad you managed to find a replacement for the one you liked most.
I have a Dewalt Gyro screwdriver (DCF680) for years and luved it. Best cordless screwdriver ever. The twist motion was the most intuitive and easy to control design. I remember it felt weird AF for the first few minutes and then I didn't even want to use any other any more.
I showed it to my brother and he really liked it, and asked if he could borrow it, and then he brought it back destroyed covered in some type of construction adhesive. I don't what happened or how. I guess I was too mad to remember what he said at the time. It sort of still worked after I used a chisel and hammer to get the battery out of it but it sure wasn't the same tool after that. I let him take it and he promised to buy me a new one, but that was a couple years ago and turned out they're sort of unobtanium any more. He swore he was going to find one or pay the $300 or more people are scalping them for on ebay these days, but I haven't seen it yet.
I've got a Milwaukee 2401 M12 screwdriver and it ***** so bad. It does have a little more power than the Dewalt Gyro did, but the clutch setting is terrible and I hate using it for anything. It just makes me want my Dewalt back even more.
Eventually he'll make up for it. It's sort of his MO, like when he borrowed my framing nailer than ran over it somehow and had to buy me a new one. This reminds me I need to press him again about where's my new gyro screwdriver. Pretty sure I saw the new ones still do show up from time to time somehow at Lowes and on Amazon.
