Great Screwdriver, good case, no stripped screws.

I work as a Field Service Engineer fixing ATMs and things like currency discriminators. Some of these machines have upwards of 20-30 screws to break down. Because of pain in my wrist, I opted to get a electric screwdriver. I was very worried about using an electric screw driver in some of the applications, because I've seen other technicians strip out screws, making repairs much more difficult. I purposely selected this one because it didn't have a "pistol style" grip.I received the screwdriver and found it already had a decent charge. It also has a adjustable torque, which I something I wanted. I set it to the lowest setting and went to fix a machine. Its comfortable to hold and the extender made it easy to fit in some of the smaller gaps. I have one machine that required me to use a different screw driver than my favorite one because of a tight squeeze. This one was able to get into the space no problem. However, my concern was when I put the screws back in. The low torque and the way you hold the driver in your hand, mean as soon as the screw was all in the way, the screw driver would rotate in my hand, taking the pressure off of the button and ensuring that now screws were stripped.I also have to keep a timing record of when I working on a machine. Some of these machines can take well over a hour and half to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. This screw drive knocked off roughly 10 minutes of time and saved my wrist. Highly recommend it for someone who wants a electric screw driver, but is terrified of stripping screws.
