Igo Home Products Announces World’s Smallest Powered Screwdriver

December 2003 – Igo Home Products recently announced that its Mini Powered Screwdriver will be widely available for the 2003 holiday gift-giving season. Measuring five inches long and weighing only five ounces, the Mini makes a great stocking stuffer for parents as it is a helpful tool for replacing batteries in toys as well as for servicing computers and electronics and removing switchplates.

Priced at $7.99 and under, the Mini fits in the palm of a hand and is the smallest powered screwdriver on the market. It is designed to drive and remove the tiny screws that are found on consumer products such as toys, appliances, computers and electronics. It is also ideal for reaching screws in tight places. Like Igo’s other Kitchen Drawer Power Tools, the Igo Mini runs on replaceable alkaline batteries, so it is ready to go whenever needed with no charging required.

The Igo Mini will be available this fall at grocery, drug, specialty and housewares stores including the Discovery Channel Store, Restoration Hardware, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walgreens, Longs Drugs and TrueValue Hardware and online at www.igohomeproducts.com.

“The holidays is a perfect time to be rolling out our Mini Powered Screwdriver as so many gifts require the addition of batteries,” said David Levine, general manager of Igo Home Products. “We think consumers, especially parents of young children, are going to love the Igo Mini because it makes changing batteries a snap. It is also so small and lightweight it can be carried around in a purse or pocket, and is always ready to go whenever it is needed.”
