Review on Revolutionize Your Precision Repairs With Wowstick SD 23-In-1 MINI Electric Screwdriver: Automatic & Manual Power, LED Lights, And Rechargeable Battery. by Jessie Burgos

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent screwdriver, with junk bits and even worse storage options and smell

It's convenient, and saves your wrist some effort, as you'd expect. This is what I was hoping for, as I repair electronics ever day and probably remove and insert 100+ screws per day on average. So, in a sense mission accomplished. I also really appreciate that is type C charging!However, even when working on delicate electronics, like laptop repairs, I regularly run into screws I still need to use manual power to at least start removing, even when they don't require all that much force, so IMO even this upgraded version could use more torque. However, it would prob make my next complaint even more of a thing.The bits are weak, and strip easily with regular use, even just by the torque of this screwdriver itself seems. It's especially noticeable with the smaller bits. I've sort of developed a sense for when the screws are getting tight, and I usually gentle tighten them down the last quarter turn or so manually. defeating the purpose of this thing a bit more.Speaking of bits, the tubes for storing them are awful, probably the worst part of the whole package. Theyre just flimsy clear plastic tubes with plastic caps on both ends, but the problem is that they'd caps fall off so easily. Carrying the 3 tubes and the screwdriver itself in my laptop bag always turns into a mess because of how easily they come apart. The included "case" is a poorly design couple pieces of plastic that stick together with some of the weakest magnets possible, so it comes apart accidentally even more than the tubes, and it only holds the driver and 1 tube of bits, so worthless IMO. It's also huge for what it is and how it doesn't even hold all the bits, so much wasted space. A simple, single tray that latches shut would be so much better for holding the bits and easier for finding them, instead of awkwardly searching all around and up and down the length of 3 tubes that are talking apart.Another thing that bothers me is that there's no OFF or safety switch, and the buttons on the driver are not recessed (or labeled for convenience), so I'm always worried about it getting wedged against something in my laptop bag and running constantly when not intended.My last complaint is subjective and more minor, but worth mentioning since it gives me nausea so frequently. The smell! I'm used to China manufactured goods having some time smells but this smell is awful, of course I saw no warning labels, but it makes me worry about the materials it's made of being carcinogenic.
