Black & Decker® Introduces the GYRO™ Screwdriver

2012-08-17

Black & Decker® brings innovation to the screw driving category once again with the introduction of the GYRO™ 4V MAX* Lithium-ion Rechargeable Screwdriver, the world’s first motion-activated screwdriver that controls variable speed and direction. The variable speed feature and direction change that occurs with a twist of the wrist provide improved control while screwdriving compared to rechargeable screwdrivers on the market.
Black & Decker continues to set the pace of innovation with the patent pending GYRO™ screwdriver featuring gyroscopic technology — an industry-first for a screwdriver. With gyroscopic technology, users need only to rotate their wrist one-quarter turn to the right for forward or left for reverse. With traditional rechargeable screwdrivers users are typically required to engage a switch for a direction change and are not offered variable speed.
