New WORX XTD Extended Reach Driver Makes A Great Holiday Gift For Do-It-Yourselfers

The new WORX 4V XTD Extended Reach Driver is a battery-powered screwdriver with an adjustable drive shaft to reach fasteners other tools can’t. It functions as a conventional screwdriver, but slide the top-mounted switch forward and the drive shaft extends an extra 2 inches for greater reach.

Charlotte, N.C. (PRWEB) - The adjustable drive shaft has nine set positions from 0 to 2 inches to handle a variety of jobs. The added length improves control and visibility by aligning the bit and screw. This reduces stripped screw heads and worn out bits. Also, the driver’s chuck is offset to provide better access in tight corners. XTD’s auto spindle lock allows the user to use the tool as a manual screwdriver as well. The compact driver weighs only 1.1 lbs. and fits easily into kitchen drawers, glove boxes or toolbox.

“It’s the only screwdriver you’ll ever need because it reaches those hard-to-reach recessed fasteners that are difficult to get to,” said Jeanne White WORX Senior Product Manager.”

The XTD driver is ideal for installing mini-blind brackets; curtain hardware; electrical boxes; cabinet hardware; outlet plates; air vent covers; coat hooks; drawer assemblies; kitchen and bath accessories, and more.

The WORX XTD Extended Reach Driver is powered by a 4V Lithium-ion, built-in 1.5 Ah battery. Lithium-ion batteries can hold a charge for up to 18 months. The plug-in charger recharges the driver in 5 hours. The XTD housing is constructed of nylon composite with a comfortable, smooth rubber handle grip.
