The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

The screwdriver is just a super-bomb. Bought around 2022 or 2022. Since then, I use it in the tail and mane in the workshop for the repair of equipment. Used for assembly / disassembly of household appliances and laptops. Also for drilling small holes up to 3mm with Bosch chuck.
When I bought it, then foolishly began to spin everything with it. Even self-tapping screws 100 mm long managed to drive into a bar. In the end, of course, she broke down. Gearbox 1 is out of order. I disassembled the gearbox and found the reason: the gears of the 1st gear gearbox could not stand it and the teeth in the gearing mechanism were worn out.
It was not a problem to buy a gearbox. I bought it for 1200r, in half an hour I disassembled the screwdriver for beer and put the gearbox. The screwdriver came to life in all modes.
I don’t do such stupidity anymore and I don’t drive large self-tapping screws.
After replacing the gearbox for 5 years, the flight is EXCELLENT.
Recommendation: Switch gears carefully! Do not work in the intermediate position of the speed selector!
Expensive of course, but this is a wonderful screwdriver!
Analogue on the market None.

Pros

Precise torque adjustment. Doesn't vomit. A clear stop of rotation when the tightening torque is reached. 2 batteries already last a very long time. 2 fixed passes. Folding handle. Subject to operating conditions Reliable, almost like a Kalashnikov.

Cons

Screwdriver weight. Small battery capacity. Non-standard battery voltage. Plastic gear change in the gearbox. The second time the ratchet of the torque adjustment turntable broke.
