Most painters don’t have need for any other cordless tools, so adding a power driver of any kind is extra cost and bulk.

On top of that, it’s really easy to shatter the plates with a powered driver of any kind. The newer “unbreakable” nylon covers are better, but enough force and you can either break them or, even worse, strip the thread in the outlet.

Wouldn’t an impact driver or cordless drill be better than these rapi-drives for wall outlets and switch plates? Just assuming ’cause I’m not a painter….

God bless all painters who would take outlet and switch covers off. Not all of ‘em do.

These things are awesome for painters. Many years ago, I worked as a helper on a paint crew that painted rental houses. for an average 3br/2ba, I could have all the outlet and switch plate covers off in less than 20 minutes.
