A cordless screwdriver makes a great gift for Dad for any occasion. Compared to other cordless power tools battery powered screwdrivers tend to be more affordable and there is always a need for a screwdriver. The opportunity to put it to use will arise almost daily.

There are many models in whatever price range you seek . Starting at less than $10. 00 and going up to a few hundred dollars you can always find one that fits your budget. Corney as it may seem it is a gift that keeps on giving.

Small pocket in-line screwdrivers are probably the least expensive style and can often fit in his shirt pocket. It will always be there if a situation arises when it is needed.

From there battery screwdrivers can go up to the size of a full sized drill and range in price to a few hundred dollars. There are, however, a wide selection of cordless screwdrivers for under $50 ,therefore finding one to meet your budget shouldn't be a problem.

You may have another tool in mind such as a router tool or perhaps a saw, but few tools are used as often or are more economical than a power screwdriver, so don't sell it short as a gift idea. Of course if you are good enough you can strategically just get dad to tell you what he wants, but you can't go wrong with a battery screwdriver.

You can find cordless screwdrivers in many places, from the local hardware store, Home Depot, or on-line in places like Amazon. Prices will vary from store to store especially if you shop on-line so it is never a bad idea to 'shop around'. This is a bit tougher, with the price of gas, if you are shopping at a hardware store, but many people are much more comfortable shopping at a brick and mortar store.

While shopping on line has become much more routine for many shoppers there are still those who won't use a credit card on line for security purposes. PayPal is a popular method of buying things on-line. One of it's first uses was to provide a secure payment method for eBay on-line auctions, and eBay later purchased Pay Pal and made it into one of the leading ways to make secure on-line purchases .

Still some people like my mother probably will never buy anything on-line no matter what security measures are taken. This presents no problem because electric screwdrivers are easy to find in any hardware store.
