Bloopers: when I was testing the ES126, I ran out of coins and had to use my hammer as weight :) The power of this little guy puts out truly amazed me. Mods Personally, I’d like the turn speed to be a little faster in the “unscrew” mode. As you could see from the video above, the main benefit is the comfort not the speed of work. You need to loosen or tighten a screw the last 1/5 of the turn, which is normal to electrical screwdrivers this size.

Although I am a little surprised by the result, it actually confirms my experience with these two screwdrivers. The ES126 has 46% higher RPM (rotation per minute, at close to zero load), and it’s 7 times more powerful ! Torque – Torque refers to the tightening force of the screwdriver. As such, the higher the torque, the easier it will be to tighten or loosen a screw. Most electric precision screwdrivers have an electric torque of 0.1 to 0.2 N.m. If you are repairing electronics, such as tablets and laptops, you will need a screwdriver with a manual switch to give you higher torque power. The ScopeAround Electric Precision Screwdriver is the lightest electric precision screwdriver with a built-in battery that we have on this list. Weighing only 60 grams, it made the other screwdrivers we tested feel too heavy. It is lightweight and portable, plus gives the best grip, making it a close call between the ScopeAround and the Jakemy.

No shit… They don’t need any relation to SainSmart to infringe on their IP, or to white label their products from the manufacturing partner, or to pay a tiny NRE to make some changes to the existing design and sell it as their own creation. Once you get a hold of this screwdriver, you’ll know that this is the future of electronics repair. The power that it delivers is beyond what any screwdriver can do, and the futuristic design feels very nice. It’s not cheap, but the Jakemy Electric Precision Screwdriver is one of those tools that lets you work more for less. In the case of electric precision screwdrivers, however, you also need to consider how often you will be using it. Lithium-ion batteries last longer, but if you are only going to use the screwdriver occasionally, Alkaline batteries can still give you excellent value.

When there is not enough torque, the screwdriver bit stops spinning, but you can still hear the motor running. I guess the gears simply disengage in this situation. But still it’s best not to stress the motor and gear. Ease of UseThere are two buttons, they are essentially the same, but the top button turns on the LED at the tip for working in dark areas, which is handy. The only thing that annoys me is how far the buttons are from the grip, it can be awkward to use sometimes. But I fixed that with a mod which I will show you shortly. First mod is the finger control lever adapter by Painless360: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805221 The Jakemy Electric Precision Screwdriver is almost the same size as a permanent marker. It has a bit of heft, but we prefer its grip because it is easy to hold while in use. The aluminum alloy build and the anodized surface gives a nice texture to it and makes this screwdriver feel handy, lightweight, and comfortable to use. I’d love to see their faces when they have to do a bunch of 30mm screws like this all the time. Not so funny now huh? :D The light turns on when it’s spinning – it helps if you don’t get enough light to see where the screw is. Very handy feature.
