Black & Decker has redesigned the compact powered screwdriver by removing the traditional on/off switch and replacing it with gyroscopic control that senses the direction of your wrist movement. This eliminates the need for a directional button or trigger, making it one of the simplest powered screwdrivers to operate.
This Gyro screwdriver is extremely compact—small enough to fit in a kitchen drawer—and intended for light-duty tasks. It runs on a 4V lithium battery that retains its charge for up to 18 months, and it includes a built-in LED light to brighten tight or dim work areas.
Everyday household jobs become quicker and less tiring with the gyro screwdriver. It simplifies tasks such as assembling flat-pack furniture, installing curtain rods, and completing routine repairs around the home. Because the tool senses wrist rotation, users can switch rotation direction naturally without fumbling for a button.
This screwdriver is especially well-suited for seniors and anyone with wrist or hand mobility challenges, since its intuitive motion control reduces awkward grip changes and excessive force. It also makes an excellent introductory power tool for older children and beginners—its simple operation and responsive motion often feel almost magical and encourage learning basic DIY skills safely.
Lightweight and easy to store, the Gyro screwdriver is a convenient addition to any household toolkit. Priced at $50, it is available through authorized Black & Decker dealers and retailers that carry the brand’s compact power tools.
