Review on Effortlessly Tackle Any Screw With The Wowstick 1F+ 69-In-1 Electric Screwdriver Set For All Electronics And Toys by Jeremy Watkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

the driver doesn't hold the bits very well; the bits are barely magnetic

I wanted to love this so much. The packaging was top notch. The way the components are packaged mimic what comes from Microsoft or Apple. But when I started to use it, my hopes were dashed. First was that the bits are barely magnetic. I normally use traditional iFixit tools and they're fantastic. But I really wanted a portable electric version. My iFixit bits are truly magnetic and strong whereas these don't really hold anything. And when you're working inside of computers, you need to be able to unscrew and hold the screw. But the more problematic flaw is that the bits don't stay in the screwdriver. So as I'm bringing the screwdriver to the computer case, the bit will fall out. So fine, I can hold the bit in place and put it into the grooves of the screw, but then I unscrew the screw and as I'm pulling out of the case, both the bit and the screw falls downward. I can't imagine any computer/IT guys wanting to use this with all its flaws. And you can tell they intended it to be used by IT because they provide a nice magnetic pad to put unscrewed screws on it.

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • May not be as durable as traditional screwdrivers
