"It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I try to learn from it. Take the other day, for example. I received a new screwdriver for testing, and I was initially quite dismissive of it. After all, the price was under $20, it was from a brand that didn't ring any bells, and it looked a lot like something my grandpa would have used back in the 1980s. But I was wrong. It turned out not only to be powerful, but surprisingly ergonomic."
"Inside the tool is a 900 mAh battery that's rechargeable using USB-C, and the motor is capable an impressive 3.0 Nm of electric torque (which is a little bit more than what is considered hand tight), and the unit can withstand up to 10 Nm of manual force, which is about the maximum that you can achieve with a screwdriver."
The XLX 4.2V cordless screwdriver ships in a generic plastic box with a few bits and a charge cable. The tool features a retro, microphone-like cylindrical shape made of hard polymer that resists scuffs without soft overmolding. A built-in wire loop improves grip and contributes to surprising ergonomics. The unit is pocketable but lacks an off-position lock switch, which raises concerns about carrying it in a pocket. Inside sits a 900 mAh USB-C rechargeable battery and a motor delivering 3.0 Nm of electric torque. The screwdriver can withstand up to 10 Nm of manual force. Controls are simple and intuitive.
