electric screwdriver

Motorized turning tool

An electric screwdriver is a power tool that drives screws using a motor rather than manual force.

It's smaller and less powerful than a drill, designed specifically for driving and removing screws quickly: I assembled the furniture with an electric screwdriver.

Cordless versions run on rechargeable batteries.
