VESSEL BALL GRIP Rechargeable Screwdriver Cordless No.220USB-1U 220USB1U Made in Japan by VESSEL

Product Information

I get asked a lot how it compares to the well known Bosch Go electric screwdriver as I have also used this in the past. Not all lithium-ion batteries are alike: some will hold a charge better than others, while some will also charge faster, within two or three hours. Accessories

However, the WX240 really comes into its own if you’re working in cramped spaces, or doing fiddly jobs where a larger cordless driver with more of a pistol grip might get in the way. I used both the WX240 and the Bosch IXO to assemble a PC inside a new case, and while the Bosch was fine for removing external case screws, the Worx was a lot more usable inside the case and for getting screws into the motherboard. It charges in under 90 minutes over a USB-C cable, and will happily last for around 35 to 45 minutes of work. For bigger screws on DIY jobs, you might want something with a little more power and torque; but if you need something that feels and works more like a manual screwdriver, this is the one to buy. A cordless screwdriver’s speed rating indicates how many times the tool rotates per minute (rpm). You’ll get the most control if you buy a model with variable speed, control because you can adjust the speed based on the screw material. Choose a model that offers at last two speeds: If you’re looking to get some serious work done, the Makita DF001DW has you covered. It can switch between pistol-grip and standard barrel screwdriver modes for different situations, and it feels extremely robust in the hand. Even the micro-USB port in the handle has a cover. A two-way switch at the top of the handle drives screws in or out at a single speed. Available in these models: Original Model, Silver Edition, Gold Edition, Limited Edition Dull Green The 1\4 inch shank collet takes any 1/4” shank bit including the longer Japanese style which is comes with.I would put them in slightly different categories. The Bosch weighs 310g, is 190mm in length, 40mm width and 40mm high compared to the vessel which is 170g, is 146mm long, 45mm in diameter at the grip. With the larger drill/driver models, you will usually need to remove the battery and slot it into a separate charger. That said, even some of these are now charging through micro-USB. Controls are usually kept simple. The more powerful cordless screwdrivers and drill-drivers will have some form of speed control, but most will have a single speed, forward and reverse gears, and a trigger to squeeze when it’s time to start screwing. Most models now also have some kind of built-in torch function, so you can see what you’re doing in dark corners. How about charging? A pistol-style cordless screwdriver resembles a cordless drill, though they are usually lighter, more compact, and don’t offer the same power. They have a handle that you grip, while the screwdriver section with the bit sits perpendicular. Pistol-style cordless screwdrivers are usually easier and more comfortable to hold than straight models, but they don’t fit as well in tight spaces. The main application of the Vessel P1 driver for myself is terminal screws, light and switch board screws (the driver is not 1000v rated) and other smaller job uses.

This is compared to the vessel which has three speeds which changes the torque. Low: 280 rpm / 1.2 Nm (Medium) 340 rpm / min / 1.6 Nm (High) 400 rpm / 2.0 Nm (Maximum Endurance Torque when Hand Cranking: 12 Nm)Key specs – Power: 4V; Speeds: 1; Max speeds: 230rpm; Max torque: 3Nm; Battery: 1,500mAh lithium-ion; Charger: Proprietary 4.2V; Accessories: 6 bits, removable screw holder; Weight: 500g Look for a cordless screwdriver that offers 20 or more clutch settings for the most control. It’s also a good idea to choose a model with an auto-stop clutch, which turns the screwdriver off once the clutch is no longer engaged, to prevent stripping the screw. Speeds A cordless screwdriver’s most important feature is its voltage, which determines how powerful the tool is. This one’s great for bigger projects: it’s versatile, it’s got plenty of welly and it comes with an 81-piece set of bits that should cover just about everything you would need. With a respected brand like Makita, you know you’re not getting poor-quality accessories. It’s a little large for some smaller jobs, though, and a little too fierce for jobs that need finesse, such as PC builds or appliance repairs. When you’re up to something major, though, this is a top tool for the job. For basic, light- to medium-effort projects, a screwdriver that offers approximately 4V is usually sufficient.
