Anyone who has worked on anything with small fasteners knows the importance of having a variety of small sized bits. I have worked on electronics for decades and was very skeptical about whether I would like this set. Small-format powered screwdrivers have disappointed me in the past for any number of reasons. When you get to the more economical end of things they often tend to be one-and-done throw away items. However, I am happy to report that this set exceeded my expectations. Having a decent little driver when you are dealing with small format fasteners is a real treat. You always seem to need an extra hand to get a fastener started straight which usually takes more than one turn! The first thing I noticed was the weight. It simply felt substantial in my hand. The outside of the case is anodized aluminum, and the internal bit holder is made of plastic with embedded magnets. When everything is assembled and inside the case, everything is held in place very securely. I didn't try to drop it but just banging around with my hand illustrated that nothing is going to just simply fall out, and the bits will stay in place even in a pretty good fall. There's a relatively good selection of bits made of S2 steel. This particular alloy has a high ductility - meaning that the bits will tend to bend rather than shatter. The case has a magnetizer demagnetizer, a nice little tweezers, and a spudge tool. The small magnetic mat is actually something that I will probably use for working on my guitars, which can have a lot of very small fasteners that like to roll off my bench. The electric screwdriver itself is a good size for my hands. There are buttons to turn on the light (which is excellent), change the speeds, and drive the motor forward and in reverse. The motor has more than enough torque for any of the jobs that I will be using it on. In the lowest setting, I can stop a bit by holding on tightly with my fingers. In the highest setting I can't stop or even slow it - which is plenty of torque for this tool. Be aware that this is not a torque wrench, nor is it marketed as such so those values are really just an estimate. Because it drives at a relatively so speed and stops almost instantly, it shouldn't be too hard to control as long as you're paying attention! When a button is not pressed, it can be used as a normal screwdriver. I cannot speak to the longevity of the battery, but I rarely work on jobs that have enough fasteners that that I expect that be an issue. It's more likely that the battery will discharge due to non-use and will not be ready when I need it. Now, friends, let's address the elephant in the room. Apparently the folks that branded this thing are not familiar with the innuendo that English speakers tend to display. I personally think the brand name is pretty hilarious. I was on the fence about this tool set until I saw that, then I knew I had to have it, if only to make my friends laugh. Being obviously male, having a (another?) tool named "Galacok" is pretty delightful. I guess you'll need to decide if that's funny, offensive, or both for yourself. Bottom line: This is a cool driver set that I am looking forward to using. I am happy to have it on my bench and looking forward to using it! Read more
Pros: - The driver is smaller than it looks to me in the product photos. It's a handy size in the hands. - The display is cool. Probably not necessary but cool. - The case is mostly aluminum and it does feel good in the hands. - It has a nice assortment of unusual bit types, including pentalobe and tri-lobe screws which are on a lot of modern cell phones, tablets, and notebook computers. Cons: - While cool, the case is pretty gimmicky. It doesn't make very efficient use of space. The heft feels good in the hand but if you're carrying it around it's quite a bit heavier than it needs to be. When you open it up, it's hard not to dislodge the magnetically-retained bits. The corners of the case aren't sharp, but they are pointy and I don't like having to be careful not to scratch my wood desk or other things with it. Conclusion: Overall though, it's nice to use. I don't expect super torque out of it, so I haven't tried it on any super-tight screws, but it hasn't failed to loosen anything I've tried it on. I took one star away for the gimmicky and somewhat impractical case, but I DO recommend this driver as it's working well for me and feels good to use. Note though that I don't generally take price into account with my reviews, since prices can change, so do your own comparisons. For instance, while I like it in general, it's far from the low end of the price scale for small power screwdrivers. Read more

I wish it would charge. After trying the the supplied cable, multiple charges and adapter, it would just not charge. The torc power was as expected for a small driver, and the slower setting give you more juice and the faster less. So worked well. And the battery lasted a long time (so i didn't discover the charging problem for a while since I never had to charge it). Over its a great little set. That unfortunately does not charge. The form factor is nice, aluminum body and case. The bits all stay with a magnetic hold and it all stays together real nice. Read more
The first one would not charge. I got a replacement, after maybe three uses and a few months later, the replacement stopped charging. It was difficult to get through Amazon's maze to contact the seller after so much time had passed The company replaced with a 3rd unit as they could not issue a refund since it was 3 months later. The replacement, which came straight from China, is supposed to be new and improved even though it looks exactly like the first two. So far so good. Read more
