I stumbled onto your channel, and love how you give a real life comparison. You don’t dumb it down, and you don’t try to talk above people. You are very relatable. God Bless you and God Bless the U.S.A.
I relate this to some light re loading tasks like trimming brass, spinning brass in a torch to anneal, brushing necks and such. But my new Skil 12v drill driver does all that and can sit upright on its battery which is incredibly handy. Plus batteries are compatible with other tools I plan to pick up. And it only cost a few dollars more (at the time). To be honest and to give away my ancientness, my first reaction to this thing was that it looked like something Flash Gordon would use against the Emperor Ming.
I really like the ability that it has to drive the screws in either direction. I also like how the battery did not seem to be stressed by your test with the drill bits and it was still able to be used as a screw driver.
If the handle would convert / straighten out like some other little ones, I might throw it in my stand up tray in my carry-in bag. I use these little drill drivers for mainly electrical and pre-drilling & countersinking holes in wood work tasks. Right now, I use my little Dremel screwdriver stick for these tasks. Trying emulate a regular drill driver is a mistake.
This looks like a mockup of Bosch IXO which I used while in Germany. 1) hours long charge although battery running quite long time 2) try on IKEA, you got kick back but at slow pace and no harm done but Turing around.
Now that I splurged on some M12 stuff for the shop, my Sears Nextec 12V drill/driver will be coming in the house. The Nextec has been awesome for the decade that I have owned it. Still the original battery. I wanted a 12V impact though so I had to invest in something new.
Really enjoy your tool reviews. Have used them to guide a lot of my tool purchases, especially at Harbor Freight. Keep em coming Bear and remember, “I reserve the right to arm Bears.”
Good for the car glove compartment, kids projects, art projects, quick kitchen fixes. Not bad when you don't want to oull the Milwaukee out to screw few wall screws.
Love the video. I will not buy this particular tool, but Red, I love this type of video. Tool reviews by someone where... you know, it's not, like, the ONLY version of that tool they've handled, and they actually have a basis for honest comparison. I love it. On your recommendation, I have bought tools, and frankly, I am very pleased.
I believe the bits are a special cut bits. I can't think of what there called but I call them gunsmith bits. There cut in a way that won't bugger up your fasteners on your pretty gun or whatever. That's why I believe one might buy there bit sets. I probably will if I like the drill. I like the little driver they make.
@@denoftools interesting thing is you can set up your camera's frame rate to be inline with when the LED is on, its how people who do film production can sometimes get away with using LED lights
Seems handy. I had to baby proof my house recently and it would've been nice to have this in a drawer somewhere instead of having to pull out my Milwaukee impact driver for such a small task.
Hey Bear I love your reviews, I have an off topic question. I really want to purchase one of the new delta table saws that you race about, but I’m scared about the motor issues. Have they been repaired??? Thanks
I wonder how many of them were honest in their videos and disclosed how they got it. Sorry, it's just a bit frustrating how many channels lie about this sort of thing.
@@denoftools last channel I watch said they sent him an email he said why not send it over his channel is tim's work shop he didn't lie about anything cant say that for the rest
My old Black & Decker screwdriver is finally dying. This may be a good replacement. I like that it's USB C but it would be even cooler if it had a wireless charger.
That little thing has a lot of torque for its size. Looks like a great indoor tool, instead of going in to the garage searching for a drill and a battery and coming back. They should sell that in Amazon.
WORX WX255L SD Semi-Automatic Power Screw Driver with Screw Holder $39.90 at Amazon. NEVER lose a bit again. Absolutely great. Best power screwdriver I've ever owned.
Could be useful for the things you mentioned, especially for someone that isn't into a major battery platform. But for those that do have some major power tools around, most of those companies have a standard less expensive screwdriver that would be at least as good if not better.
A question is how charged were the batteries when you got the tool? And then, how long will they last, depending on what you’re doing with it? And last, how long does it take to charge, particularly since it’s by USB? Price is somewhat meaningless when you have something at this level. If the price remains at $49, it’s a decent deal. When working on smaller things, a small device like this is far better than a much heavier full sized one. Yes, I know people relate size and weight with value, but it’s not true. I have some equipment from Ideal and others that cost several hundred dollars, and is no bigger than this.
The price of this thing is pretty steep, $69.99. Even with a $20 or 50% coupon on some models, it’s quite pricy for a electric screwdriver. Considering a Milwaukee 12v screwdriver is $74 on Amazon, do you think it’s better I get the Milwaukee? I’m looking to make my way into their 12v line bc of their impact driver/wrench.
Quite honestly, the biggest 'draw' for me to this cordless screwdriver would be that it charges with a standard USB-C cable, just like my phone. That way I don't have to keep up with a dedicated charging brick that will either break or get lost or I can't remember where the heck I put it. The adjustable torque settings are pretty much a useless gimmick. These things can't possibly product enough torque at the high-end to ever require a reduced torque setting. If a user can't tell to slow down or stop because the screw is in or the head is stripping then they don't need to be using a cordless screwdriver. When I first saw the ads for the Fanttik start popping up, my first thought was, "They're going to price it way too high!" I figured it would be $100+ and then just die on the vine. It's still probably a bit too high, but not ridiculously so. It's a narrow and crowded niche. Make it too inexpensive and cheap and it will quickly get a rep for being useless crap. Make it too robust and expensive and it crosses over into the 12-20v drill-driver / impact segment and won't sell. It seems like they correctly went to the top end of the cordless screwdriver market, but still under most usable cordless drills / impacts. I've got the Skil cordless screwdriver and am very happy with it when I need to just tighten up a screw or change out a battery in a toy. I got it mainly because it uses a micro-USB charging port and I have several battery packs and action cameras that use the same type of cable. I don't need to go searching for the dedicated charger for it. Harbor Freight missed the boat with their Bauer screwdriver. They went with the dedicated round charging port. That was a dealbreaker for me. I don't want to keep up with another dedicated brick that I know is going to fail on me or get lost. Milwaukee has one with removable battery packs, but it's way too damn expensive to just throw in the junk drawer. There are plenty of others out there for under $40.
@@denoftools makita is bigger, worx is bosch go alike. and if I recall well, there's others in this segment. So in the end, I guess price will win - as most of these kind of tools are very similar. I guess what it defines these tools is the usage of lithium batteries and USB charge, that makes them simple to use in small uses. For that in mind, I would prefer the smallest one (even now I just have an old Makita NiCD 6723 for this grade of tool, lol)
I'm glad you went on to explain who #Aukey was.. b/c I was wondering what the significance of mentioning them was. . . Also indiegogo has a lot of legit stuff I have supported.
Thank you for your review. I already had this tool on my radar but I wasn't sure about it. I'm searching for a screw driver that is reliable and has a good torque control to work on electronics and open or close housings. I'm still sceptical. I saw a vid where the lowest torque setting totally destroyed hard disk screws. I asked the company and they told me that this was a production problem that will be fixed. What's with your device? Is this fixed? Is it really 0.5Nm? I need a sensible electric screwdriver and not a replacement for my brutal 18V makita. xD PS: maybe you could do a review video about fine electric screwdrivers? Let me know please. Thx
Newton-meters and nanometers are very different things! FWIW, there's 1.36 N-m in a ft-lb. (A Newton is the force require to accelerate 1 kg at a rate of 1 meter/sec², there's about 4.45 of them in a pound.) Speaking of pounds, I've got a care package for Mrs. DaBear & cubs I need to get mailed while the post office is open.
Not fast but impressive for what it is its pretty impressive. I mean its the tool for the suburban millennial dad who has never had to really do anything for himself, if you just have to occasionally put furniture together, put in some wall plates, and labotomize your children it should do pretty ok. I personally wouldn't use it on a computer, a drone maybe but i personally wouldn't use it due to the 90 degree handle, i often find i have hardly enough space for a screwdriver let alone this thing, and the screws arent very long, if you wanna work on a computer get an ifixit kit, for a drone its probably fine
As for the working on drones bit specifically i see a lot of use in this, they dont need much torque but those little scews get tedious and tiring and i wouldn't want to use a drill, too heavy, my neighbor builds and sells drones so i kind of see the appeal
You really need a hands free camera. It is somewhat annoying watching someone (you are not the only one, there are a LOT of casters out there doing this) try to manipulate or open something with only one hand because the other one is holding a camera. Even a tripod mounted camera would be better. Other then that, I really enjoy your RU-vid vids and I am a subscriber.
Not worth the $50 the Nex L1 Pro (6 N.m version) or $40 for the Nex L1 (5 N.m with no variable speed control). Also, the Indiegogo says the Nex L1 does not have the Shark clutch.
Its like saying if you own Porsche 911, buy a Fiesta to drive to Walmart. I'm driving the 911. Or in my case my 12 volt Milwaukee. I want to use my nice tools. My cheap tools are for when bad things might happen. No I don't own a 911, but a Corvair, which has a flat rear engined six, just like a 911!!!! Also these aren't cheap. You can get a real drill for this price.
Definitely not a bad tool but Jesus you could have gone into the shop got your tools and made a sandwich, ate it, and then put your project together faster than this thing could do it. It’s so slow lol.
Worst tool ever! Get a M12 on sale that can run circles around this tool. I'd like to see how many screws you can push into a 2x4 before you are out of juice!?!
be careful aukey is good ! but cheap crap is not something you want to plug into your expense $30,000 car computer system.or tap your 750 dollar phone. accessories as in convenience store at the cash register
