The electric screwdriver is intended for professional electricians and aims to help them work faster and prevent damage to materials. A sliding switch is used to set maximum torque at 0.4 or 1.0 newton metres – the colour-coding of the two switch positions correlates with that of the bits. The driving action itself is turned on and off via a ring switch at the front end of the handle. An LED ring can be used to illuminate the work area, for instance in dark electrical enclosures.
Jury
The screwdriver is very easy to handle and ergonomically designed to sit comfortably in the hand. The ring switch is a good solution for activating right or left rotation. Because it’s so compact, the screwdriver is also suitable for use in cramped conditions. The robust accompanying charger also deserves special mention.
