wowstick Precision Electric Screwdriver, Rechargeable Screwdriver Set with LED Light and Magnetic Mat, Repair Tool Kits Including 56 Bits Extend Bar for Most Electronics Devices

Product Information

Precision screwdriver sets will either have a single screwdriver with swappable bits and shafts or individual screwdrivers with fixed heads. Precision screwdrivers with swappable bits and shafts can complete many different tasks with only a single tool, but they do have more moving parts and are bulkier than individual precision screwdrivers with fixed heads. Bits included There's a built-in LED light to illuminate your work area, and the screwdriver has two magnetic spots for holding extra bits, so if you are working with different sizes of bit, you can keep them close at hand. The direction reverse buttons are on each side, making it easy for left-handed or right-handed use. The tool comes with a set of nine bits in common Philips, slotted, Torx, and square sizes, but you could use other 1/4-inch-shank bits if desired. On the downside, there is no included carrying case. Heavier-duty electric screwdrivers like the DEWALT 8V MAX Cordless Screwdriver Kit generally use batteries that are removed for recharging in a separate charging station. This is especially useful if the screwdriver is from a brand you already use for other power tools, as the batteries are generally interchangeable between tools, as long as they are the same voltage.

There’s also an eight-piece precision screwdriver set that includes four Torx drivers, perfect for taking laptops apart, and even a pair of offset screwdrivers, with a different bit at each end, for those really awkward spots. Let’s focus on the build quality of the precision screwdriver first since it made such a solid first impression when opening the box. Many precision screwdrivers are plastic, but the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit includes a precision screwdriver with an anodized aluminum housing with knurled grip. The category of precision screwdrivers spans DIY and electronics jobs. So buying the best screwdriver for your specific needs is important. Below, we cover the essentials so you can make the right buying decision the first time. All-in-one or set Voltage - Most electric screwdrivers have a voltage of 3.6V, but RPM speeds can vary. More powerful drill drivers can have 12V or 18V and significantly more torque. RPM - While professional combi drills can have speeds of 3000rpm+, a screwdriver for everyday tasks only needs 200-400rpm to successfully tighten screws. If you are looking for a more powerful option, make sure you can control the speeds using the trigger, to avoid destroying screw heads and over-tightening.Most cordless screwdrivers offer anywhere between 25 and 85 inch-pounds of torque, which is more than sufficient for typical tasks around the home. For heavy-duty use, though, such as construction, there are cordless screwdrivers with up to 225 inch-pounds. While not all cordless screwdrivers have torque adjustments, those that do are adjusted by turning the clutch, which is the front of the tool, to the desired setting.

Quality of accessories: If the electric screwdriver is supplied with screwdriver bits, I want these to be high-quality parts that won't damage fasteners. If you need more power than the General Tools 502 without veering into the premium side of precision screwdrivers, then Bressanon Electric Precision Screwdriver is the best option for you. It delivers excellent performance, and it is the best in its price range when it comes to versatility and reliability. There are some compromises to keep the cost down, but it still made our list by having an excellent combination of battery life, decent torque power, and usability.Sets that comprise a universal handle with many interchangeable tips are popular because they’re light and easy to carry, but once you lose one of the tips it tends to stay lost – they’re not very big and are often dull in colour. Lose too many and you’ll have to buy a new set of tips, or potentially replace the whole set. Can’t I just buy any old cheap screwdrivers? Bits - A variety of bits is essential to complete tasks. All of the electric handheld precision screwdrivers on this list come with a wide variety of bits. You should review the selection to ensure the included bits meet your needs. DIY jobs around the home: Phillips, slotted, square, and torx screws are the most common you’ll encounter for DIY projects in your home. Torque - In the case of this guide, torque is the turning force delivered by a cordless precision screwdriver. This force is measured as Newton Meters, referred to as Nm for the rest of the text. For tasks like inserting and removing small screws, less torque is required. For heavier duty jobs, you will need more torque. Some products offer adjustable torque settings so you can use the appropriate tightening force. This reasonably priced cordless screwdriver is very basic, but if you merely need a tool for occasionally tightening loose screws around the house, hanging blinds, or similar tasks, this is a great option that's also easy to store, thanks to the pegboard hole at the end of the handle. You can turn off the tool and use it as a manual screwdriver, if desired. This screwdriver has an inline-grip handle and is comfortable to hold. At 6 volts and running off four AA batteries (included), you aren't getting a lot of power, but you don't need excessive force for the types of projects to which this tool is suited.

It’s worth noting that metric bits have almost completely replaced Imperial-sized ones, but screws put in 50 years ago haven’t heard about this. Still, it’s possible to use a driver that’s slightly too small to loosen a screw, so it’s not worth worrying about having every possible size in your collection. A choice of the most common sizes, in both flathead and Phillips (cross-shaped) will do for most day-to-day jobs. Inline-grip cordless screwdrivers have a straight shape that’s most like a regular screwdriver. These are a little more awkward to hold, but they are easier to maneuver into tight spaces than pistol-grip options.Batteries – Most electric precision screwdrivers are powered by lithium-ion batteries, while budget screwdrivers often use AAA Alkaline batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the ones that you can recharge via micro USB, and they give better long-term value.
