Goodbye, calluses on the palms: TOP 5 good electric screwdrivers

Such electric screwdrivers as Intertool DT-0302 are designed for simple work, such as self-assembly of furniture or repair of household appliances and electronics. Due to the small torque (2.5 Nm according to the passport), this model will not cope with more complex tasks that require significant effort, so the Intertool screwdriver will not be able to become a full-fledged replacement for the screwdriver.

The successful and convenient adjustable design of the tool allows you to rearrange the handle in two different positions: straight and "pistol". You will be able to change the configuration depending on the work being done. For twisting and unscrewing fasteners in dark places, the illumination of the working area is provided.

Due to the small battery capacity (only 0.6 Ah), it is difficult to recommend this screwdriver to professionals, because it is unlikely to last for a long time. Moreover, a nickel-cadmium battery has a "memory effect" (read more in the article "The life-giving power of voltage and current: the main types of batteries", it always needs to be discharged "to zero" before being put on a charge, so as not to spoil the battery). But for everyday users, this disadvantage should not be considered too significant.

There are no other decent electric screwdrivers at such a low price. Moreover, the Intertool DT-0302 screwdriver comes with a small plastic case filled with numerous bits and attachments for different fasteners. Therefore, such a tool is the best fit for a house and a cottage.

The five newton metres that the Black&Decker CS3651LC cordless screwdriver has are enough for most tasks. With such a torque, you can independently assemble furniture from Ikea, tighten fasteners on door hinges, change sockets, tighten screws into plastic dowels and perform many other small jobs for which even the cheapest cordless screwdrivers would be too powerful a tool.

The main differences between this screwdriver and many other models are the excellent build quality characteristic of the Black& Decker tool and excellent ergonomics. The device fits very comfortably in your hand, regardless of the size of your palms. The surfaces in the grip areas are covered with rubber pads with a large relief, so the screwdriver will definitely not slip out of your hands. If you put the reverse switch in the neutral position, the spindle is blocked. Such a function is rare, but it is very necessary if you need to manually gently pull out the screw or tear off the stuck screw.

Of the disadvantages, it can be noted that the charging is extremely slow. It will take about 15 hours to fully charge the battery. This is not very convenient, but the low charge current significantly extends the life of the battery.

The Black&Decker CS3651LC screwdriver is the optimal tool for small work at home, in the garage or in the country. It will cope with most tasks and will last a long time in normal household use.
