Review on ENERTWIST 8V Cordless Electric Screwdriver Set: Fast Rechargeable 82pcs Kit, 10Nm Max Torque, 1Hr Charger | Carrying Case Included by Aaron Allen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great twist for the buck

Disclaimer--I have owned this product for only 2 weeks.The tool itself seems substantial, although it projects a "made in China/Harbor Freight" vibe with a rough finish, a weird orange color, and grammar errors in the instruction manual. I have large hands, so it fits just fine for me. My wife plans to use it for a project, so we'll see how it fits for her. I've used it in day-to-day work and--so far, all is well.The selection of drivers and bits is impressive (all metric). I wish there was a flat blade bit in the standard full length tip selection. There are many options in the small bit selection, so that's not likely to be a problem.Some have complained about the bit chuck. The chuck on this tool is a standard 1/4" inch hex chuck found on most other driver-type tools. The need to pull the chuck out to insert the bit is totally standard and desirable to keep the bit locked in the tool. The small bits are not meant to be used directly in the chuck. You need to use the included magnetic holder for the small bits. Another great advantage of this chuck is that it enables the use of thousands of other available 1/4" hex attachments. The attachments included with this tool will fit other tools with the same chuck.For folks new to this type of tool, the instruction pamphlet does not adequately explain the chuck, the use of the torque settings, charging, and the "lock" switch.Others have commented on the tiny, fragile switch for the LED light located on the bottom of the tool. It seems destined to break. When that happens, I assume that I can turn the light off with a small screwdriver and continue using the tool without the LED. As long as the tool keeps working, the LED is not that important to me.This tool is sold at a decent price with a a very large array of attachments. Despite a few cosmetic and design flaws, it should serve well for the homeowner-handyman.

Pros
  • With its comprehensive accessory kit, this screwdriver is suitable for a wide range of applications, from home repairs to professional installations
Cons
  • The screwdriver may have a limited range of motion, making it challenging to use at some angles
