Small electric srewdriver

[robfosters]

I need a small electric screwdriver for a job, but my normal Bosch one is far too big.

Can you get a small pen like electric screwdriver with an assortment of bits that has decent power to drive small screws in? I’m sure someone recommended one on here a while back, but I can’t remember which one is was. It looked perfect though.

Thanks.

Wowstick?

Yeah that was it. Can anyone recommend a particular model or kit please?

This is the one I've got. It's not especially high torque so I often just turn the stick by hand to start it off and then push the button. Same goes when tightening up, do it up with the button and then give it a little twist at the end to tighten it.

It was £33.99 when I bought it.

Thanks, I’ve just ordered the kit with all the bits and things. 8% off so it only cost £2 more than the screwdriver on its own.

but I mean why does electric and motors need to be involved? surely it's simple mechanics

yea okay it's not small but it could be.

seems like an electric fad rather than actually being the best option surely


I guess the electric versions are disposable by nature though and not designed to last even a single life time

That’s just a Yankee screwdriver. When you’re dealing with delicate electronics, you don’t want to forcing a screwdriver down hard, that’s asking for trouble
