What affects the amount of torque?

Torque is an important indicator with which you can set the load force on the gadget you are using by easily drilling metal plates or screwing in large screws. The higher the torque, the more efficiently and quickly the device will cope with drilling various materials.

The optimal solution for domestic use would be a device with a torque of 10-15 Nm, however, if the device is purchased for the purpose of drilling the hardest materials, it is better to choose a model with a torque of 60-120 Nm.

How to choose a cordless screwdriver?

The easiest way to choose a suitable screwdriver model is by following the list of criteria that a quality tool must meet.

• Manufacturer . It is better to immediately buy a device from well-known brands, such as Makita, Bosch or Metabo. They are distinguished by high quality and thoughtful functionality.
• Voltage . This criterion directly depends on the intended use of the device. For household use, a 10-14 V screwdriver is sufficient, and the voltage of professional devices starts from 18 V.
• Torque . This technical characteristic shows with what force the screwdriver tightens the screws. The higher it is, the more productive the tool will be.

It is also desirable that the device be equipped with a functional keyless chuck and be provided complete with a case, charger and spare batteries.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

1. Pay attention to the type . There are electric screwdrivers, electric impact wrenches, impact and non-impact drills. The first two types are designed to solve small household problems. For example, secure a shelf, tighten a fastening element. The latter are intended for professional purposes. They differ in functionality, durability, and build quality. But they also cost much more. Before choosing, it is important to decide on the tasks that the screwdriver will perform.
2. For torque . To work with soft materials, 5-10 Nm is enough, with hard materials - from 35 Nm.
3. By cartridge type . It can be key and quick-clamping. According to reviews from owners, it is better to choose a screwdriver with a quick-release chuck, since the key often fails at the most crucial moment.
4. On the type of battery (if a cordless screwdriver is purchased). Manufacturers create batteries based on nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion technologies. NiCd has a limited service life, minimum working time without recharging. It is better to choose Li-Ion. Such batteries have an extended service life, long operating time without recharging, and high power.
5. On the package and build quality . The wider the configuration, the more versatile the screwdriver. It is also recommended to take into account the manufacturer. The following brands have proven themselves well: Makita, Bosch, Interskol, Metabo. They have more positive reviews and offer only high-quality products with good equipment.

Which inexpensive cordless tool is best to choose for your home?

When choosing a household screwdriver, focus on the following indicators:

• power - the average level will be enough on the farm;
• impact design - it is not always necessary, but in some situations - a rusted screw, working with metal - you cannot do without it;
• spindle lock – ensures safe operation;
• quick-release chuck – guarantees fast work;
• several speeds – the ability to adjust the speed simplifies the solution of the task;
• ergonomics of the handle – manufacturers center models differently, so you should always hold the tool in your hand before purchasing.

Which screwdriver is better: Makita, Bosch or Metabo

All three brands are widely known and have been on the market for decades. Their products are in the same price segment, making it difficult for buyers to choose between them.

Experts recommend considering Bosch or Metabo. Both German companies produce reliable and durable tools with perfectly fitted elements and good equipment. Moreover, in the last 2-3 years, Metabo has been actively gaining momentum and in the near future may well become a leader.

A screwdriver is one of the most common tools in everyday life. With its help, you can carry out current household tasks or build a new home. Almost all modern models are well equipped and will serve their owners for many years. Therefore, when choosing, be guided by the best offers and your own needs.

Which screwdriver to choose: evaluation and selection criteria

Which screwdriver to choose
How to choose a cordless screwdriver? Not all potential buyers have the knowledge to help them make the right choice. And a banal visual comparison of screwdriver models does not give any result.

In fact, in order to choose “your” option, it is enough to rely on several evaluation criteria.

Purpose and purposes of purchase

A budget household appliance is suitable for solving ordinary household problems. Just for the 5-6 times a year when you might need it, you shouldn’t buy an expensive tool from a well-known brand.

But for large volumes of work you need a powerful and reliable unit that can withstand significant loads.

Manufacturer

Each brand has its fans. But still, make a choice in favor of well-known brands that provide a guarantee for their products.

Power consumption

Decent power of the device is equivalent to comfortable and high-quality work. But it is worth considering that this criterion changes depending on the model.

For network devices, 400-800 W are considered optimal. For battery options, the indicators are different - 12-18 V.

Battery type, capacity, mounting type

Almost 95% of modern models are equipped with lithium-ion batteries. Today it is the best choice for professionals and ordinary people.

Battery capacity is an important criterion that affects the performance of the tool and charging time. The optimal capacity is within 2-3 Ah. But keep in mind that such a screwdriver will take at least 5 hours to charge.

The most convenient type of fastening is “rails”. It is soft and reliable, the battery will not fly out even with the most active work. And you can change it in one motion.

Battery for screwdriver video

RPM, torque, speed, reverse

The optimal rotation speed is 500 rpm. This is what you should focus on without focusing on the purpose of the device. But the torque depends on the purpose of the purchase:

• household devices – from 8 to 20 Nm;
• professional - from 100 to 130 Nm.

Reverse is a very necessary option that will be needed for various operations.

Additional features to make the tool easier to use

The most popular additional options include:

• backlight;
• increased idle speed;
• protective case;
• a strap that secures the instrument to the wrist.

Important! Potential buyers often underestimate the lightweight body. Such models remove some of the load from the working hand and allow you to complete the task with comfort.

Chuck diameter and square size

The chuck diameter is selected depending on the range of tasks for which the tool is intended. To solve everyday problems, a diameter of up to 10 mm will be sufficient. Professionals should take a closer look at cartridges from 10 mm.

The size of the square is selected specifically for the cartridge.

Functionality and battery kits

There are devices with one and two batteries on sale. The second option is preferable, as it allows you to work almost without interruption - while one battery is charging, the second one is in the screwdriver.

Important! This is especially true for professionals working outdoors. For example, in cold weather the battery discharges much faster and requires replacement literally after 1.5 hours.

Weight

A good instrument should be neither light nor heavy. When it comes to cordless screwdrivers, they will always be heavier than corded ones. Their average weight is within 2 kg and can reach up to 3 kg. The network device can weigh about 1.5 kg.

Which is better - battery or mains

Each option has its pros and cons. But battery-powered devices are more expensive, so they are more suitable for professionals. For everyday purposes, inexpensive network tools are sufficient.

Comparison of screwdrivers video

Brush or brushless

The brushless motor has proven itself well in battery-powered units. It is lightweight, easy to use and has high performance.

The brush version is suitable for corded screwdrivers. Such engines are relatively inexpensive and can be quickly repaired if they break down.

TOP 3 best brushless screwdrivers

Screwdrivers with brushless motors are considered more reliable, as they have an increased working life and practically do not spark. Models with this type of engine are presented in the lines of many brands.

How is an impact screwdriver different from a non-impact screwdriver?

An impact screwdriver is a tool that can drill through walls and ceilings, followed by screwing in fasteners, but it does this with the greatest effect. Some people classify the impact model as a hammer drill, but this is not so.

The impact driver is capable of producing a series of targeted blows

It differs from non-impact models in that it can make a hole in the wall not only due to its rotation. In this case, a series of directed blows . But this function is not permanent. The mode can be activated by the operator or automatically if there is an obstacle in the path of the drill.

An impact driver can be called a multi-tool . It can interact with different attachments, as a result of which its scope of application is much wider. Such a device costs more than its non-impact counterparts, but the price is justified. When doing home repairs, a screwdriver may not be able to handle the strong load-bearing walls of high-rise buildings. It is better to purchase only a hex chuck for an impact screwdriver.

Impacts from the tool can generate up to 250 Nm of torque. With this value, the drill can even pass through stone.

When working with wood, you do not need to drill holes for long fasteners. An impact screwdriver can handle long screws without difficulty.

Unlike a standard screwdriver, an impact driver does not subject the fasteners to deformation.

If you install the appropriate attachment, you can get a powerful wrench and easily unscrew a rusty bolt.

There are also disadvantages, but not too upsetting for amateurs and professionals. Firstly, a decent rotation speed can only be achieved in non-impact mode. Secondly, there is no limiter responsible for adjusting the force. That is, you can accidentally drive a self-tapping screw into a tree along with the head.

During operation, the impact occurs perpendicular to the drill, which allows you to pass through difficult areas.

The lightest cordless drills and drivers

The weight of a screwdriver is an important parameter, especially for those who often have to use the tool. For example, furniture assemblers, repairmen. The lighter the screwdriver, the less tired the hand (especially the wrist joint) and the easier and more comfortable it is to work.

As a rule, the lightest models are those equipped with lithium-ion batteries (Li-Ion). With the same dimensions as nickel-based batteries, Li-Ion has a higher energy density. From here, you can use less battery weight without reducing the operating time of the tool. Let’s not forget about another important advantage of Li-Ion batteries - they have no memory effect, which means you don’t need to wait until the battery is completely discharged before recharging again (as you have to do with Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries).

Lightweight screwdrivers are a tool for professionals. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the three best cordless drills and screwdrivers in the light weight category.
