The screwdriver is a popular and indispensable tool in the arsenal of any craftsman or hobbyist. It can be categorized as a Must have. With its help, a wide range of works is carried out, from furniture assembly to repairs.
Like all tools, a screwdriver differs in many performance characteristics, on which the range of target work of the device depends.
First, decide which screwdriver suits you better - electric or cordless. Both are efficient and productive at work. Just decide which is best for you - a device with a long cable or battery that needs to be recharged from time to time. In recent years, progress has stepped so far that even battery technology is being improved day by day and is replacing mains-powered devices. The screwdriver is no exception and soon it will become lighter and more convenient.
In accordance with the purpose, several types of screwdrivers are distinguished:
• Cordless screwdriver is a small, compact, low-power device for small, delicate work, such as installing sockets or assembling a computer, bicycle, snowboard.
• Electric screwdriver. A multifunctional appliance for household work that performs the functions of both a powerful screwdriver and a drill. It can be used to tighten and unscrew screws, drill, assemble furniture, etc.
• Cordless drill-screwdriver designed for domestic and professional use. Its compactness and ergonomics will make it possible to work not only indoors but also on the roof, for example.
• Impact screwdriver. From the name it is clear that this tool, in addition to the functions assigned to the screwdriver, also has the function of crushing hard materials (concrete, metal, reinforced concrete).
When purchasing a screwdriver, however, like any other device, pay attention to its performance. The higher it is, the more versatile the instrument becomes. In the case of networked devices, the power is important, and in the case of rechargeable devices, the operating time. The requirements for both types of screwdrivers are united by such a parameter as the torque. It is measured in Newton meters (Nm). In fact, this is the effort with which the device works. The indicator for the household segment ranges from 20-40 Nm. For a professional, this parameter should be from 40 Nm and above.

An important indicator is the speed switching function. As a rule, there are two of them - the first is slow and the second is fast.
The advantages of the screwdriver include the reverse function, that is, counterclockwise rotation, which makes it possible to unscrew the screwed fasteners. By the way, a little secret - screwing in and reverse are set using a lever on the handle. When you set it to an intermediate state, the screwdriver is protected against the possibility of unintentional activation. In addition, if you have a cordless screwdriver, then thanks to this feature, the screwdriver will not discharge when you decide to pause.
When purchasing a screwdriver or other similar device for professional purposes, never take an household one. Do not create the illusion that a household screwdriver will cope with work all day long. This is out of the question. Household appliances are designed for short-term work with respite. They tend to heat up, while the professional segment has a self-cooling function.
Since devices for hobbyists are designed for small household jobs, manufacturers equip them with various bits. With professionals, it's different. Since they are used for work purposes, the requirements for consumables are much higher. The pro segment is not equipped with bits. They are acquired by the masters themselves, depending on their needs.
We also recommend paying attention to a screwdriver with an angled attachment, which will make it possible to work at an angle from 0 to 90 degrees.
When purchasing a screwdriver, do not ignore reputable manufacturers, as they provide warranty conditions and the ability to repair and replace parts with original ones, and not from outside.
