The Bottom Line
Not all power woodworking tools need to be heavy-duty machines that take up space in the wood shop. Sometimes, well-built, useful tools come in small packages.
Such is the case with the Bosch SPS10 Cordless Screwdriver. While it operates on rechargable 3.6v Lithium Ion battery packs that, because of their small size will have a shorter usage time per charge when compared to a much larger cordless drill, it has enough power to drive most screws used in common woodworking tasks. Of course, the advantage is that it's small enough to fit easily into the pouch of your woodworking apron, or even your pocket.

Guide Review - Bosch SPS10 Litheon Cordless Screwdriver
The Bosch SPS10 Cordless Screwdriver was a surprise. When I first opened the box, I thought I was looking at a toy that would never be of much use. The unit is so small, almost too small for my moderately large hands.
However, after trying out this Bosch Cordless Screwdriver for a little while, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of power Bosch engineers have packed into this tiny little tool. It handled nearly every task that I threw at it with relative ease. Of course, if you're planning on extended screwing of three-inch screws into hardwood without pre-drilling, this probably isn't the tool for you.
That being said, for having a cordless screwdriver always within easy reach (since you can keep it in your pocket, apron or pouch as easily as a large tape measure), it's hard to beat the Bosch SPS10 Cordless Screwdriver.
