PowerPrecision

There's been some interest in computer repair forums lately about precision electric screwdrivers, therefore i thought I might post a review of a good example: the overall Tools 500 Cordless Ultra Tech Power Precision ScrewdriverPower Precision



First, of all, at around $20.00 I wasn't expecting much quality. I had been pleasantly impressed by the construction. It's made out of a sturdy plastic with a rubberized gripping surface. Ergonomically it's well designed and fits nicely between forefinger and thumb. You support the driver such as a use and pen your forefinger to function the yellow lever.

It takes two triple-A batteries. If you intend to use this device frequently, plan on purchasing rechargeable batteries and charger. So far it looks good in this respect, even though i can't really comment here on battery life as I have only been using it for a brief time.



The driver has good torque, which had been certainly one of my main concerns. I am really nit-picking here, though personally I wish it had just slightly more torque for those stubborn screws. It may be argued that increasing the torque would also raise the chance of stripping screws. So far I have not had any issues with the driver stripping screws. You are able to feel it once the bit doesn't bite or in the event it skips, just as possible using a manual driver. In cases similar to this you just swap it for a manual driver.



Furthermore, i wish it had faster rotational speed because i can remove a screw faster having a manual precision driver-although I'm not sure here is the case after the thirtieth screw I've removed the old-fashioned way.



If you disassemble lots of laptops a product similar to this will make the task much simpler. You will find days once i do so much laptop disassembly that my fingers literally start cramping. This is where the typical Tools 500 really shines. Though it may be not intended for smart phone or tablet disassembly, it functions great with laptop computers or equivalent devices.



Now my few complaints:



The bits: it includes 6 bits, chromium type (my least favorite kind of bit and I've found to become minimal durable with time). Although for this kind of bit they're well made and must last longer.



Rotational speed, because i mentioned earlier. Not bad although not fast enough for my taste. Just a little on the sluggish side.



Bits are not magnetic. You are able to however magnetize these bits using a magnetizer/demagnetizer you may get at any home improvement store.



It really is a great deal at circa $20. I do wish GeneralTools would created an expert-grade model which is rechargeable. Also, it would be nice to be able to increase or decrease the rotational speed by exactly how much force you utilize in the lever. I'd pay good money with this, and I'd purchase two of them so I'd also have one which is charged. Higher quality bits could be welcome. And more of these. If GeneralTools has a larger bit set for this model, I'm not sure. That being said, the bits provided will take care of the vast majority of common repairs.
