This is developed as a light responsibility screwdriver. The official torque rating on this is. 9 Nm which is about 8. 5 in-lbs. Although I really like this product, I am a bit shocked Skil didn't put a bit more power in it. With that stated, it's perfect for the meant usage I purchased it for, which is for taking apart RC vehicles with the kids to make it less laborious unscrewing/screwing long finely threaded M3 screws.
It is likewise exceptionally handy as recently I've been replacing many outlets in my home. Here is my brief list of what I believed would be a "ideal" screwdriver, and I was never thinking about the "handgun design" screwdrivers: 1.)Locking chuck or collet 2.)Lighted 3.)Variable or several speeds 4.)Light weight 5.)Clutch 6.)Lithium powered 7.)Changeable Lithium batteries (in case it goes dead while working) 8.)shaft locks in place so it can be used as a manual screwdriver.
For $60 it marks off all the list, but in the end I decided I truly didn't require another charger taking up space in my garage when I already greatly bought Milwaukee M12 and M18 Fuel products and battery chargers. My interest was likewise sparked by the Craftsman or Dewalt gyro systems, but apparently Dewalt is having quality concerns these days and I didn't like the idea of unintentionally twisting my wrist on a really finely threaded screw into plastic.
It would not budge the screw, where the Worx unit had no issues even on the most affordable setting. One turn of the Skil by hand to relax the screw and it does the rest.

My M12 Fuel Effect Motorist is for the majority of everything else. Here are my pros and cons which may likewise clarify problems from unfavorable reviews. Pros:1.) Locking shaft -it instantly locks when not powered allowing the screwdriver to be used manually. This is the very best function of this system. For contrast, the Worx one in the photo in some cases takes a complete half turn prior to the shaft locks which is irritating.
