The Lifegoo Mini Electric Screwdriver really stands out due to its compact and lightweight design, making it a champion for tight and tricky spaces. 

It offers a reasonable torque range of 0.25-0.35Nm, which is gentle enough to secure fasteners snugly without risking damage by over-tightening. For those moments when a bit more muscle is needed, this nifty tool allows you to manually increase the torque up to 3Nm, giving you that perfect “hand tight” force without crossing into the danger zone of causing damage.

As a bonus, the Lifegoo Mini comes equipped with a versatile 48-piece precision bit set. This set includes both standard and extra-long bits, the latter being ideal for reaching those challenging, deeply recessed screws. This feature-packed screwdriver offers both versatility and precision, making it a stellar addition to any toolkit.

And just as I’d expect, the online reviews for this screwdriver and exceedingly positive.

The SES Max features an ergonomic pencil-style grip that allows it to be gripped firmly for extended periods without fatigue. There’s a single button that controls everything, and an OLED display to keep you informed.

It has a sensible torque range, offering enough power to break small fasteners free, but not so much as to damage things. The 500mAh battery can handle up to 900 precision screws on a single full charge, and the screwdriver can be recharged using the USB-C connector built into the storage case.  

There are also four built-in shadowless LED lights for illuminating the workspace, which is super helpful.

The single killer feature of the SES Max is the motion control feature that detects whether you want to tighten or loosen a fastener. Fit the bit into the fastener, press the on button, begin to apply torque, and the screwdriver takes over. There’s no need to fiddle and find the appropriate loosening or tightening button.

The Jakemy 180-Piece Smart Cordless Screwdriver Kit is a fantastic kit that includes a compact screwdriver, 160 precision screw bits, and a variety of accessories that any budding fixer will find invaluable.

The kit does come with almost everything else a tinkerer would need, with an impressive 160 bits in various types including Torx, hex, Phillips, slotted, pentalobe, socket, triangle, tri-wing, U-type, and square. The comprehensive selection covers nearly every security fastener you’ll encounter. 

To make your repair jobs even easier, the kit also includes plastic prybars, picks, a suction cup (for removing displays off smartphones), tweezers, and bit adapters. Everything is neatly packaged in a folding polymer case that securely holds the screwdriver, bits, and tools. 

Review:

The screwdriver itself is designed for convenience, featuring a built-in 500mAh lithium battery that provides 120 minutes of runtime at full power — enough to tighten or loosen over 1,000 screws! It also offers three torque settings: 0.16Nm, 0.20Nm, and 0.30Nm. If these aren’t enough to break a fastener free, you can always use the screwdriver like an old-school manual tool.

The only thing the screwdriver doesn’t have is a light on the front.

Enhancing its functionality, this screwdriver includes a circular LED shadowless lamp. This brilliant feature illuminates your work area, freeing you from the hassle of juggling a screwdriver and a flashlight simultaneously — a small but significant touch that makes a big difference in usability.

On the opposite end lies a USB-C port, modernizing the charging process by eliminating the need for proprietary chargers. This universal charging port adds an extra layer of convenience, making it easy to power up the screwdriver with the same cable used for many of your other devices. The HOTO electric screwdriver is a thoughtfully designed tool that marries strength with smart features, making it a standout choice for any toolbox. 

Another product with very positive online reviews, which one going as fast as to say “if Apple was to make an electric screwdriver, this is what it would be.”

Two years ago, I got myself a Bosch Go electric screwdriver. The thing was amazing; it’s been on my best electric screwdrivers list ever since, and it’s been working incredibly hard on countless projects, indoors and outdoors, and it’s still going strong. Well, the old Bosch Go has gone to a new home, and I’ve picked up a replacement — the new Bosch Go 3, and this has a few big upgrades.

Review: Bosch GO 3

First up, the micro-USB has been replaced with USB-C. I don’t know about you, but micro-USB has been out of my life for a long time, and keeping track of a cable for one thing still stuck in the past was a pain.  There’s also a bigger battery, up to 2.0Ah from 1.5Ah, which is quite a bump. I appreciate this when I’ve got a long job or forgotten to put it on charge after the last job. 

There’s also a ring light on the front of the screwdriver for seeing what you’re doing, and more torque settings, providing finer control over working with fasteners and less chance of breaking something or rounding off the head of a screw.

It also features better ergonomics, and a much neater, more practical carry case.

The DeWalt 20V MAX XR impact driver is a powerhouse in the realm of heavy-duty electric screwdrivers, designed to handle the most demanding tasks with ease. 

This tool stands out with its impact drive feature, which does more than just turn fasteners. Instead, it delivers a powerful, rattling force that can break stubborn fasteners loose, making it significantly more powerful than a standard screwdriver. This capability makes it ideal for a variety of applications, from driving screws to tackling nuts and bolts. It’s so robust, I’ve even successfully used it to undo car wheel nuts.

Equipped with a three-speed impact driver, this tool features a high-efficiency brushless motor that can deliver up to 1,825 in-lbs of maximum torque, which is more than enough to drive long, large-diameter screws with ease. For added convenience, the DeWalt 20V MAX XR also includes built-in LEDs to brighten up dim workspaces, ensuring precision even in poorly lit conditions. 

This tool is a true workhorse, ideal for anyone needing a reliable, powerful screwdriver for tough jobs, and the online reviews concur with this assessment.
