its been good so far no challenges apart from not knowing how to set the clutch to avoid screws or actually the plastic to strip what levels do you set yours to for the different materials to avoid any stipping?
Which electric screwdriver

@slick2500 ? idk where I’d be without all my power tools. Though if you knew how much money I’ve got in tools, that’d give you another reason to be happy

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

I've been thinking about going with this same setup as well. The only thing I hate is it's not a Dewalt which I have a ton of tools already. So it would be two different battery and charger types.

I’m going to tell you that I never buy DeWALT tools for work. My whole van is decked out in Milwaukee and Hilti only.
That said, I bought the DeWALT gyro driver for my RC toolbox. I own almost every M12 Fuel tool and they are great for stuff bigger than RC. But they are too large for RC tooling IMO. The DeWALT is perfectly sized and I find an in-line driver is much better suited for RC (and PC) style work over the right angle handled drivers.

Getting back into RC and recently bought the MIP 3 set of drivers. I also want to get a lightweight electric screwdriver. Any other good options for speed tips or should I just buy MIP? Also, what sizes should I get other than standard 1.5, 2,2.5?

Which car(s) do you have? For a Granite and a Kraton 6S, I only need 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5.

Has anyone owned both the Milwaukee M12 and the DeWALT gyro screwdriver? I prefer the traditional trigger style driver but what to keep things compact and light.

I'm leaning towards the Milwaukee M12 but want to make sure it is not too heavy and if there are other similar trigger style options out there.

I own almost every M12 Fuel tool as well as the DeWALT gyro screwdriver and hands down the DeWALT is way better for RC work.

I’ve got m12 and Dewalt 12v and personally like the Dewalt better. The Milwaukee handle is unnecessarily large in diameter and therefore less compact and comfortable to me. The only advantage to the m12 is more variety for battery size options. I think the “pen style” drivers for rc Would be a better experience, but I haven’t found one thats extracted the cash from me yet. Dewalt isn’t the first gyro driver and it’s not the only either. Black and decker was the 1st I believe and craftsmen has one at Lowe’s clearanced for $25.
did you get the attachments? there's an 90° angle one, clutch, and a couple of others... by itself it doesn't have a clutch
edit: if you got this one, it's not the same as mine, I have a fixed handle ?

This is what i bought
in manual it say than you can use other adapters ? its just not included with this one...if it can be bought separately, I immediately buy this adapter with a clutch.
