Electric screwdriver for unscrewing
Options

I've got a cheap bed with slats and each slat is screwed to the wood support. I need an electric screwdriver to unscrew them (can't face doing the job manually) but don't know what power level I would need. I'm not a DIY person so I don't see myself using it very often.
I looked at hiring one but they wanted £16 for one day!
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Something like this would be fine. You can get similar and cheaper in argos, tesco etc...

Good advice from djheath but why not buy a cordless drill ( e.g. Skil 12v from Toolstation - £29.98 ) which will remove your fixings AND you can drill .Forgotten but not gone.0

Hi,
get a ratchet screwdriver, lot easier and quicker than an ordinary screwdriver, and cheaper than electric.0
