This is the perfect companion to anyone who’s building a pc or who works on circuit boards with tiny screws. I’ve seen some negative reviews saying that the torque is inadequate, but in my opinion the low torque is a pro. If you’re working on delicate components with tiny little screws, you really don’t want to chance the possibility of over torquing them and lord forbid stripping them. Getting a stripped screw out of a motherboard is immensely difficult. Battery life is good, the bits included are solid and of decent enough quality. Overall the build quality seems durable enough for light usage, and the size is perfect for getting into tight nooks and crannies. The included magnetized is a nice touch. I’ve dropped small board screws before and never found them, and if they wind up somewhere they shouldn’t (like making a connection between a capacitor and another metal piece of a pc case for example), you can be in some serious trouble. If you need to break a tough screw loose, just do it by hand first and then back it out. Overall solid product for those looking for a quicker way of dealing with small circuitry screws. Read more
I’ve been using this electric screwdriver a ton over the past few months and it’s been a great tool to use for repairing small electronic devices. I’ve used it to repair several PS4 and Xbox controllers, mod some Switch joycon, repair/build micro FPV drones and other small projects. So far, no issues. It charges quickly via USB-C and lasts far longer on one charge than I would ever need. The light turns on by pushing a button next to the forward and reverse buttons. I put some GT-5000 grip tape on some spots to allow for better grip as the screwdriver can be a bit slippery to hold. The package comes with a USB-C charging cable, a pry tool, a small selection of bits and even a bit magnetizer thingy. Overall, great value for the price. Read more
I bought this to work on chromebooks as part of my job. I'll say this knowing that I've used the screwdriver for a total of 8 hrs. That being said, my review would be the same if I'd used it for ten minutes or ten years. The unit works great. The light is helpful. The buttons work as they should. The battery charges quickly. The bits are firm and precise. I can't say anything bad about any of that. The tool is strong enough to do a computer tear apart or build (laptop, anyway). I used the fully charged battery for about 8 hours without having to charge it back up. I never lost a bit and I never chewed a bit up by stripping it. Good: Battery life, build quality, functionality, strength Bad: There's no handle / ergonomics on this round screwdriver. It doesn't have wrist-breaking torque, but it has enough to spin in your hand if you aren't holding it firmly. I wish it had some sort of grip or indent in order to keep it under control. I may actually add grip tape or something in order to solve that. That's it. If you think this isn't strong enough, then you're obviously not in the market for a PRECISION electric screwdriver. This does a great job for what it does. Read more
This thing made customizing my electronics so much more interesting, i can't believe this technology seems new to me, i know it isn't but the ergonomic handle wasn't great for a screwdriver considering most screws eventually have to be manually screwed in. The Torque of the RPMs don't have much 'oomph' in them... if you know what i mean... but it got the job done. I'm going to need a better pair to repair computers and other electronic consoles in the future but this specific screwdriver wasn't for me... The price though, what your getting for the price is magnificent, it has every tool plus a magnetize tool to make sure the screws stay magnetized (even though they still fall...) - overall it's an amazing tool Kit and I'd recommend anyone whose attempting to customize a PC, PS5, Xbox, Lab top, Television or even Cell Phone to consider grabbing this set, especially if your tight on cash.

I've been using this for awhile, and can honestly say that I am loving it more and more. I do a lot of tinkering and fixing of various items, and found myself always needing a small bit of some type or size I never had. I finally broke down and bought this mini screwdriver, and I have managed to repair multiple items with ease! It works great, good torque, and it locks so you can use it like a regular screwdriver if you need extra power for tough screws. The bits are perfect size for most delicate tasks. I love the built in light for hard to see screws too. Very happy with this so far. Read more
For the money, can't beat it. HOWEVER, this is meant for small laptop, pc repair. I use mine to undue the many screws found in freestyle drones, and it works great for that purpose too. My first one broke, but I believe it was due to user error. YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO POWER THIS ON IF THE SCREW IS STUCK. I tore mine down (to tear down you need to remove the Up/Down button covers and undue the little screw, also take off the sticker in the back) and found that one of the Integrated Circuit (IC) chips got remarkably hot when I tried to power it in either direction - this is after it was broken already. what I'm trying to say is this: it's a very small motor that is geared WAY down for more torque. Don't try to force it or have it "push through" when it can't move the screw. Simply release the power buttons and undue the screw in manual mode - then apply power once it's broken free. I don't doubt had I treated this thing as it was meant to be treated it would have lasted me a much longer time. Read more
