Looking to eliminate the need to stop driving screws to change the bit, the [Craftsman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-line) 4V Slide Electric Screwdriver features a revolutionary Twist & Go cartridge for easy usage.

Featuring a design that's very much so like a revolver, the tool features a six bit cartridge that enables users to quickly change bits without having to fumble with keys.

To use the feature, the slide mechanism is drawn back, the bit is chosen and the trigger is squeezed; the new screwdriver bit is then locked in place and ready for use.

The Craftsman 4V Slide Electric Screwdriver offers 30.9-pounds of torque and features a reverse function for removing screws. The one-handed design aesthetic makes small household jobs a cinch, while the incorporated flashlight illuminates dark areas.
