Black & Decker adds gyroscope to screwdriver

8/30/2012

Towson, Md.-based Black & Decker has introduced the GYRO 4V MAX Lithium-ion Rechargeable Screwdriver (BDCS40G).


The manufacturer describes the new product as “the world’s first motion-activated screwdriver.” It uses gyroscopic technology that allows users to rotate their wrist one-quarter turn to the right for forward or left for reverse.


The variable speed feature and direction change that occurs with a twist of the wrist provide improved control while screwdriving, the company said.


The 4V MAX Lithium Rechargeable Screwdriver joins Black & Decker’s expanding lineup of Lithium products, including the existing range of drill/drivers and Black & Decker’s extensive Lithium outdoor lineup featuring a string trimmer/edger, hedge trimmer, sweeper, cultivator, pole pruning saw, pole hedge trimmer, chain saw and powered lopper.
