Summary: Buy it for the Bit Holder
Comment: Not much is said in the reviews I've read about the bit holder on this device. It's great. You can truely do one-handed bit changes. Pull the release out and it stays released. Then you can take your hand off the release and pull the bit out. When you put a new bit in all you have to do is push it in. No more pull-out-the-release-and-put-in-the-bit-at-the-same-time business. I'm sure the light on other devices is nice, but this easy to use bit holder trumps a light any day in my book.

Summary: Great Power Screwdriver
Comment: I have been using this power screwdriver instead of my power drill. It is lighter and more compact.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Quality screwdriver from a quality company
Comment: I finally broke down and purchased a cordless screwdriver after years of alternating between a cordless drill with a screwdriver bit and a manual screwdriver.
This is a definite improvement over using the drill. I am now able to reach areas that were inaccessible before.
The drill ships with two batteries and a charger that will return a battery to full charge quickly - long before you will be able to run down the second. The battery charge indicator is a nice touch. Whenever you operate the screwdriver the charge level indicator lights up on the battery.
The power is not impressive, but certainly adequate for almost all jobs. For tougher jobs you will need to use the slower of the two speeds as torque is limited at the higher speed. This is the only issue I have had, and probably comes from using a drill for this task for so long.
Building a deck using screws? This isn't the tool for the job (no, I didn't try that ;). I believe it is up to any other task, as long as you select the appropriate speed.
The ergonomics are ok, but not perfect. The units with more sculpted handles will be more comfortable for a lot of people. I was willing to overlook that in order to get a brand that I trusted to work for years. I would make the same purchase again and recommend the screwdriver to others.

Summary: How did I ever get along without it?
Comment: First let me say I use this Milwaukee Screwdriver everyday, I am happy I chose the Milwaukee over the other brands I was looking at, it was a little more money but their reputation for quality and the higher rpm (600)sold me.
I really enjoy how compact this screwdriver is, it conveniently fits in my tool pouch so I no longer have to carry around my heavy cordless drill for simple tasks like installing lights, switches, or outlets. The easy change bit collar is also a nice touch, you do not have to keep holding back the collar it will click and stay open until you replace the bit. Sounds like a simple thing but it's the little details like this that makes an already great tool a better one.
Battery life last a long time but it's still nice that Milwaukee included two batteries and good charger with this screwdriver. Some other brands I looked at had a permanent internal battery making the screwdriver useless while it was being charged.
My only regret is I should have bought this cordless screwdriver a long time ago, it has been a real time saver. I still carry my old fashion hand screwdrivers but the first tool I usually reach for is my Milwaukee screwdriver!

Summary: Best tool for small jobs at home
Comment: This is the best screwdriver/drill for the money based on what I paid. Home Depot sells it for $59 and the store it on sale for $39, which is an amazing price considering that it is selling it for more then $100 elsewhere.
It is quite small comparing to other compact drivers like Bosch, Hitachi, etc. The best part of this driver is the 21 position clutch with auto shut-off that stops rotation of the bit once the desired torque setting is met. You can change it depending how much tighten the screw you want to do.
Does not come with any case but for what I paid for this, no complains!

Editorial Reviews:

The Milwaukee 0490-22 is a 4V Lithium-Ion Screwdriver with 2 Batteries. The screwdriver accommodates tight spaces and awkward angles. The unit has a two-position handle in pistol and in-line settings along with a heavy-duty two-speed gearbox that delivers up to 600 RPM. The unit weighs just over a pound and has a built-in battery life display.
