NEIKO 03044A 1/4-Inch Drive Mini Ratchet Screwdriver Set, 8 Pc, Cr-V Steel, Tight Reach, 90 Degree Screwdriver, Low Profile, Close Quarter, Right Angle Offset, Short Phillips, Slotted, Torx Star

As an electrician codes and standards change. One new change coming stanard is torque requirements on electrical connections on devices, equipment, and circuit breakers. For me this is my first purchase of a torque screwdriver. I have a coworker who has one that's quite nice but it's was pretty expensive. After looking around I spotted this one, it was one of the cheapest options with decent reviews. Once I got it I took it out and began to get familiar with it and get a first impression. When I set it down I was happy that I didn't buy the other expensive one. The pictures don't do the quality justice. After holding this screwdriver it's actually quite well built. This is not cheap flashlight plastic. This plastic handle is of the same kind of high quality and extremely durable plastic used in Ideal and Milwaukee screwdrivers and reamers. The torque selection gage was not hard to read, easier than the tiny writing on the more expensive one. The target is changed with a spring loaded selection knobs at the end of the handle. It has notches to lock the settings you select. To adjust just pull and twist to desired torque. When I select a setting the knob snaps back down lock in place. The lock works perfectly so far. The selection knob gets harder to turn as you go up on the torque selection. It was possible to adjust to the max range, with quite a noticeable increase in resistance at the torque increased. It comes with a ton of bits so finding the one you need should be no problem. I took it outside and tried it out at 20lb a common torque for light switches and receptacles. The screwdriver worked perfectly. Once it reaches the 20lb it engaged the clutch and will not turn the screw anymore. Went to 30lb and clutch did its job again. So the screwdriver will not overtorque screws. It did what it was supposed to. It got those screws to 20 and 30lbs and stopped. What I can't talk about is accuracy and calibration. I did not have any method to compare the accuracy of this screwdriver. There is no calibration sticker on this screwdriver. It does come with a fancy sticker with a long serial number on it displayed right above the made in Taiwan sticker. I feel better knowing this was made in Taiwan. I've had great experiences with tools made there and I still own them. While not as good as American or German steel, Taiwan steel is quite high quality itself. The differences can only be seen in conditions well past what a human can do to them, and have to be broke under powered mechanical operations sush as hydrologic presses on pliers. I'll tell you what for a torque screwdriver that's half or a third of the price of others I've seen listed, this is a really nice screwdriver. I'm glad I have it. My boss is happy to see me with now. So far I don't feel I'm missing out on quality or operation with this screwdriver while working in electrical panels and light switches I've done so far. The cherry on top and proof this screwdriver is made for a job site is that it comes with a tough plastic carrying case that is more than capable of protecting the screwdriver from damage if tou drop it.

This is a perfect addition to my tool bag for work. I can use it on any 1/4 hex bit for getting into hard to reach or tight areas. With the 1/4 hex bit drive, I can use it with long screw bits, nut drivers, etc. Good quality and value for the money. Even bought a few to give away as gifts for techs.

Works well.

Using these feel like good quality that fit right and the magnet is strong enough that you won't lose the screw that you're dealing with

It’s pretty much as described, it was packaged well and delivered fast. The torque is adequate for the purpose. The bit holder is a little sloppy, although the bit stays in it. I wish, both ends of the bit were Phillips (maybe PH1/PH2). I don’t find the flat bit useful on cordless drivers. Otherwise I like, that the handle is small, like a regular screwdriver. I’d recommend it.

I bought it and then realized how useful it is for working in tight area. It’s light and small.

It does what it's supposed to most of the time. But the manual is rubbish---lots of words, and almost none of them pertain to the device (e.g. it mentions a battery pack may exist). And their website doesn't even have the manual.The manual does claim 2Nm max electric torque, and 10Nm manual torque. This is rubbish, too. The torque depends on several factors. And there is no way it can hold 10Nm when manually reversing.But it's relatively inexpensive, so there is that going for it. Suitable for only the lightest of jobs. I got a 1/4 hex to 4mm hex adapter so I can do very light duty jobs that are too much for my Miniware ES15. Even still, this is my 2nd one as the first one eventually broke.

great mini tool. light weight and easy to use.
