Product Information

In the case of electric precision screwdrivers, however, you also need to consider how often you will be using it. Lithium-ion batteries last longer, but if you are only going to use the screwdriver occasionally, Alkaline batteries can still give you excellent value. Watches and eyeglasses typically use miniature screws that need the tiniest bits and screwdriver heads. Phillips and slotted screws are commonly used in such repairs. The Phillips 000 and the slotted 1 bits are standard sizes used in eyeglasses and jewelry. Electric vs. manual drive This is a specialised set of electrical screwdrivers, all fully insulated. You get two handles, and 17 inserts, all 154mm long, to go in them, plus a matching pair of pliers and insulation strippers. All the blades are extra-slim for working with sunken screws or those that are kept down by springs, and you get a selection of straight, Phillips, Pozidriv and Torx ends, none of them particularly big. Speed - When operating a drill, electric screwdriver, and other tools, the slower you go, the more torque you can safely deliver, which is best for more precise tasks. When your tool's speed is higher, you could be applying less torque, which is usually better for lighter-duty tasks. Speed for electric precision screwdrivers is measured in rotations per minute (RPM) or radians per minute. You can read more on rotations per minute below. The speed of a cordless screwdriver is measured in revolutions-per-minute of the bit. While there are heavy-duty electric screwdrivers with speeds of up to 600 rpm, the average DIYer doesn’t require a speed anywhere close to that. Generally, for typical home uses, a tool with speeds of 130 to 200 rpm is more than sufficient. Some higher–end electric screwdrivers have variable speed settings, allowing you to adjust the speed more precisely, but most cordless screwdrivers have only a single speed setting, and a few have high/low speed options.

Battery life: I need a tool for more than one screw. Unbelievably, I tested numerous electric screwdrivers that couldn't cope with more than a few screws before needing a recharge. That's just no good.

Are electric screwdrivers more powerful than regular handheld screwdrivers?

We couldn’t find any standard or specialty bits this set doesn’t include. You’ll also get flexible and extendable shaft options, plus a wide array of electronics repair tools. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a bit or electronics tool the Shared Precision Screwdriver Set doesn’t include. Credit: Nathan Hamilton The Sharden Precision Screwdriver Set is the kitchen sink of precision screwdriver sets with 120 total bits. This is the precision screwdriver set to buy if you don’t want to ever worry about having the right tool for your precision tasks. There's a built-in LED light to illuminate your work area, and the screwdriver has two magnetic spots for holding extra bits, so if you are working with different sizes of bit, you can keep them close at hand. The direction reverse buttons are on each side, making it easy for left-handed or right-handed use. The tool comes with a set of nine bits in common Philips, slotted, Torx, and square sizes, but you could use other 1/4-inch-shank bits if desired. On the downside, there is no included carrying case. DIY jobs around the home: Phillips, slotted, square, and torx screws are the most common you’ll encounter for DIY projects in your home. PC and laptop repairs: Phillips, slotted, torx, and hex screws are commonly found in desktop PCs and laptops. The most basic maintenance can be completed with only a Phillips screwdriver. But more in-depth, warranty-voiding repairs use other screw types, including tamper-proof screws.

Choosing the right electric precision screwdriver is simple. You only need to consider the torque power, RPM, battery, and how you are planning to use it. But the screwing capabilities are only half the story here, because Bosch has cleverly designed a host of attachments that can utilise the motor. These include a supremely practical pair of off-set screwdriver heads that makes accessing awkward areas much easier, as well as some arguably more frivolous options such as a corkscrew, BBQ blower (for fanning the flames) and pepper grinder. It’s a neat solution that reduces the number of motors Bosch needs to manufacture, which can only be a good thing for the planet, and we imagine they’re working on a host of other accessories that will only improve the IXO’s versatility in the future.

Rotation per Minute (RPM)– The posted RPM is the no-load output of an electric precision screwdriver. It refers to how long it takes to tighten or loosen a screw. A no-load output of 100 RPM is similar to the speed of a manual screwdriver when used on electronics repair. Most screwdrivers have an RPM of 100 to 300, and the RPM often determines the price.

She has extensive experience not only in writing about all things related to the home, but also in carrying out various DIY projects, including landscaping, painting, flooring, wallpapering, furniture makeovers, and simple repairs around the house and yard. RPM - While professional combi drills can have speeds of 3000rpm+, a screwdriver for everyday tasks only needs 200-400rpm to successfully tighten screws. If you are looking for a more powerful option, make sure you can control the speeds using the trigger, to avoid destroying screw heads and over-tightening. Spare battery - Found on more expensive models, a spare battery is a good idea if you have large jobs to do, and don’t want to wait for two hours while the battery recharges.
