I bought the latter to leave at our farm and not lug all my tools back and forth, and its price was right for that purpose. I wondered how they compared performance wise and performed. a little test. First I drove a 6x2" coarse drywall screw into the side of a 2x4. Both drivers drove it completely, but the B&D seemed to do it a bit more effortlessly. I then did the same with a 10x1 1/2" square drive wood screw. The Kobalt started stalling out with around 1/4" to go, while the B&D finished it off with no trouble. I previously had (and returned) a sililar generic version of this tool from Meijer ($29)-by contrast, it was junk and not worth having. I consider both the Kobalt B&D good tools, with the B&D getting a modest but definite edge on performance. I own both the B&D and Lobalt versions of this tool.
