Overview
At 4 volts and a 270 RPM top speed, the Worx WX255L is a light, low power driver weighing 1.5 pounds. Those numbers sit well below a typical cordless drill, closer to what is used for small screws in electronics or eyewear.
A 270 RPM top speed and 4 volt battery are well below what a typical cordless drill offers, closer to the range used for eyeglass screws, electronics or light craft fasteners. The 7.8 inch length and 1.5 pound weight support one handed, precision use over heavy drilling.

Who it's for
Suits buyers who need a compact, low power driver for small screws in electronics, eyewear or light household fixes. Not a substitute for a standard cordless drill on wood, metal or masonry work, given the low voltage and RPM.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 1.5 pound weight suits one handed precision use
- Compact 7.8 inch length for tight spaces
- 270 RPM and 4 volts are too low for general drilling tasks
- Not suited to wood, metal or masonry work
Performance notes
The 4 volt, 270 RPM specification places this well below general purpose cordless drills, which typically run at much higher voltage and speed. That lower output trades drilling power for control, suiting fine work on small fasteners rather than boring holes or driving long screws.
