Overview
The WORX WX255L.5 is a battery-powered power screwdriver listed at $34.99. WORX is a well-known consumer tool brand, and at 4.6 stars across 31 reviews, early owner feedback is solid for a sub-$35 cordless screwdriver.
The published specs confirm battery power as the source but do not include voltage, RPM, torque, or weight details. Buyers are selecting this primarily on brand recognition, price, and the 300 units sold per month that signal active buyer confidence.
For casual home and assembly use, the WX255L.5 represents a low-risk buy at the asking price. Those needing detailed specs to compare motor output will find the listing thin on technical data.

Can the WORX WX255L.5 handle wood screws and cabinet hardware?
