One of my first jobs in the 90s was building PCs, and the young whipper-snapper techs :) would bring in their "electric drivers" that I am sure stripped screws ever so often.. I'm definitely old school and never liked using any type of powered driver set when turning in screws, because I need to feel the torque. I need to become "one with the screw" sort of speak.. especially with smaller screws (m1 to m3) on laptops, or other small devices etc. Feeling the resistance on screws helps you determine if you inserted the wrong length of screw into a particular location as well.. which is easy to do.
Did the same thing in the mid-90s. I fell in love with my Panasonic EY622 cordless screwdriver after one use. They have higher-torque models now but for building PCs these were the tool. I'm currently using a Hitachi model which has a handy LED light for general work. I highly recommend buying extra long bits. I have a set from Amazon that uses 6 inch bits -- really handy for tight spaces. For transceivers I would only use these on the case screws but if you're careful they can be used inside too. After using cordless drivers for so long I kind of moved back to manual drivers these days.
Thanks Peter for the fine video. I never been a fan of battery screw drivers, I like the feel when tightening screws. But if your doing production work a regular screwdriver would not be too good on the wrist. 73
Electric screw drivers save a lot of time and specially they save also your Hand ... that one is not that powerful but it only needs the first screw unlock and that is fine. The important is to save your hand and time over Thousands of screw/unscrew operations. Electric tools are Awsome!
Hi Peter, Really interesting video I never knew that there was so much to these screwdriver bits. For me when servicing radio equipment the bit fitting the screw correctly is important and being able to set the torque is also a good feature so that i don't over tighten or bur the screw heads. Like you say I think this is primarily aimed at the laptop mobile phone servicing market but a useful tool set non the less, especially at this price point. I have a reasonably priced manual driver and bit set I picked up from Wurth when I was working in Holland a few years ago and I never want to be without it as it's great however; I am considering buying an electric driver. Another super video.👍👍👍
Hi John, in the past I really found so much scrap on the market, even when the screwdrivers have not been t that cheap. I really believe we need to look twice. Thanks for stepping by!
In the selection of screwdriver bits are there any JIS bits? These are most common in modern electronics . Phillips will torque out of the screw. If not this is a very serious omission.
Did he really talk about a screwdriver for 30 minutes? LOL Walmart has a small screwdriver like this for only about $15 but you don't get all those bits with it.
After all it is not an impact wrench and there is no need for it to unscrew everything. Thanks for the video Peter!
They sent me the same set too, I might be publishing my review this week (I’m in the middle of replacing my computer)
Curios to see your review Scott
Great review, thank you.
very useful as there are so many types of screws with different heads in your type of work
Thank you for sharing Peter! Excellent demonstration.

Looks good

No Japanese industry standard mentioned on the package.
JIS Bits??? When you did the torque tests you didn't mention if you had it on HIGH torque or LOW?
No JIS as fare I can see. Torque was always on high

no not screwdriver more over bits lol
