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.

I bought this the cordless power screwdriver a few years ago and love it. So, this year we purchased as a Christmas gift, being that it is a quality product that has a long-lasting charge. Very easy to use.

It has come in so handy for assembling furniture. The only reason why I didn't get it 5 Stars is because the little switch that allows the tool to rotate clockwise/counter clockwise is easily pressed unintentionally while using it to tighten/loosen a screw. Otherwise, it is extremely easy and fun to use and is so much better than using a screw driver/hex tool. For the tight/hard to fit places, my Ryobi drill can't get it done but this tool does. I have small hands as I'm only 5' 1". It might not fit well for larger/taller people. However, when comparing it to a universal hex tool, it's still much better. I used this with my multibit set I bought from Harbor Freight. So, I'm a very happy camper. The tool is sleek, light weight, and overall feels natural. I have over 20 years experience of DIY and assembling furniture. I'm not an expert or professional, but also not the novice handyman. I'd highly recommend this for anyone because it's very practical, straight forward, and saves a good amount of time.

Works great in tight spots, or where you can’t get a regular screwdriver, have used several times, very happy with the tool.

I needed to tighten several screws on door hardware that had very tight access. I couldn't find the offset screwdrivers that I normally used. I received these the very next day and took care of the door hardware I installed. The ratchet made the job go quickly and smoothly. Great purchase.

As described. Fast Delivery. Great Value.

The bits are very low quality I've tried torqueing a friends optic on his rifle and the bit started to give and started to warp in the direction I was torqueing so I couldn't get the audible ding for the torque indicator. The wrench works fine though find some stronger bits somewhere else I suppose.

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.
