A decent electric screwdriver, but missing some quality-of-life features
This item is a bit of a mixed bag.
Pros
Good bit coverage, including some less-common bits that some brands use in household electronics (I'm looking at you Breville)
The driver works well and is simple and comfortable to use
Cons
Not a big deal, but the case feels a bit clunky. It feels unwieldly and there is the high-pitched sound of metal scraping on plastic every time you open or close the case.
The legends show the bit shapes, but you have to read the correct sides of the bits themselves to determine the size. If you can look at the 0.8mm hex bit at a glance and know it is not the 0.7mm or the 1.0mm, then congrats. But for me, I find myself spending too much time looking for the correct size compared to other (albeit non-electric) precision screwdrivers that include the size as well on the legends.
Great quality, and the case is awesome. The magnetic bit holders and charger for the screwdriver are very cool. Getting into those tight spaces is a breeze.
Having bought this over a year ago (actually more like nearly 18 months ago), I actually used it for the first time while repairing a Drop Ctrl keyboard. There's a great range of bits stored conveniently in the magnetised case. Charging is USB simple. The display on the handle is a good idea, although I've just used the settings out of the box. And the box, or case, is very convenient - not too large, not too small, great for charging, very sturdy, even fits in your pocket.
The set is great, though I use it less than I expected since often it’s just more convenient to grab and twist a regular screwdriver. Tons of bits make for a set with great utility. Definitely a splurge, hope to be able to use it more.
used it when I was replacing my SSD for a RazerBlade 15, it made everything easy - took less than half a time; its both good and bad that it requires better torque.
Handy to have, but I found it lacks power for very tight screws
I bought these for the purpose of helping me when I build pc's. I think they are very premium. Comes with the necessary bits.
The biggest problem is that the overall power of the driver isn't enough to toss aside a manual driver. You'll still need a regular driver for stubborn screws. So for that, I took off two stars.
The screwdriver box is pretty compact, but I wish that the drill bit signs were a bit easier to see and it was a bit more powerful. Overall, it is still as massive time saver for me.
Particularly how I like to crowd up my desk.
this thing is actually incredible though. One of the few things purchased within the last year that just screams quality.
