NEIKO 10577A Cordless Power Screwdriver | 1/4” Hex Auto-Lock Safety Chuck | Includes Phillips and Flathead Bit | USB Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Technology | Auto and Manual Mode

It works and does the job. Very nice.
As an electrician codes and standards change. One new change coming stanard is torque requirements on electrical connections on devices, equipment, and circuit breakers. For me this is my first purchase of a torque screwdriver. I have a coworker who has one that’s quite nice but it’s was pretty expensive. After looking around I spotted this one, it was one of the cheapest options with decent reviews. Once I got it I took it out and began to get familiar with it and get a first impression. When I set it down I was happy that I didn’t buy the other expensive one. The pictures don’t do the quality justice. After holding this screwdriver it’s actually quite well built. This is not cheap flashlight plastic. This plastic handle is of the same kind of high quality and extremely durable plastic used in Ideal and Milwaukee screwdrivers and reamers. The torque selection gage was not hard to read, easier than the tiny writing on the more expensive one. The target is changed with a spring loaded selection knobs at the end of the handle. It has notches to lock the settings you select. To adjust just pull and twist to desired torque. When I select a setting the knob snaps back down lock in place. The lock works perfectly so far. The selection knob gets harder to turn as you go up on the torque selection. It was possible to adjust to the max range, with quite a noticeable increase in resistance at the torque increased. It comes with a ton of bits so finding the one you need should be no problem. I took it outside and tried it out at 20lb a common torque for light switches and receptacles. The screwdriver worked perfectly. Once it reaches the 20lb it engaged the clutch and will not turn the screw anymore. Went to 30lb and clutch did its job again. So the screwdriver will not overtorque screws. It did what it was supposed to. It got those screws to 20 and 30lbs and stopped. What I can’t talk about is accuracy and calibration. I did not have any method to compare the accuracy of this screwdriver. There is no calibration sticker on this screwdriver. It does come with a fancy sticker with a long serial number on it displayed right above the made in Taiwan sticker. I feel better knowing this was made in Taiwan. I’ve had great experiences with tools made there and I still own them. While not as good as American or German steel, Taiwan steel is quite high quality itself. The differences can only be seen in conditions well past what a human can do to them, and have to be broke under powered mechanical operations sush as hydrologic presses on pliers. I’ll tell you what for a torque screwdriver that’s half or a third of the price of others I’ve seen listed, this is a really nice screwdriver. I’m glad I have it. My boss is happy to see me with now. So far I don’t feel I’m missing out on quality or operation with this screwdriver while working in electrical panels and light switches I’ve done so far. The cherry on top and proof this screwdriver is made for a job site is that it comes with a tough plastic carrying case that is more than capable of protecting the screwdriver from damage if tou drop it.

Good torque screwdriver at a great price
I’m an electrician by trade. Torque screwdrivers are a requirement these days. I like to buy Klein, but their torque screwdriver only goes up to 40 in-lbs, which doesn’t work for Square-D 50A breakers. This Neiko in a nice case that holds the driver and the bits and they fit pretty well in it. It’s a little heavy, but the handle is big and easy to grip, especially when torquing to 40 and 50 in-lbs. I’m a little disappointed that it didn’t include a #2 square bit in the set. That’s one of the most common bits used in electrical panels, but I added my own. Some of the other torque screw drivers available have 1/4″ hex bits for the drivers, but I chose this one because it allowed me to use my 1/4″ socket set too. In hindsight, I’d get a unit that has the 1/4″ hex and just get a socket adapter. As you can see in the product picture, the chrome bit holder is a bigger diameter than the shank to accommodate the bits. This makes it hard to torque some breaker screws, particularly Eaton/Cutler Hammer breakers that have slotted and higher ampacities. The bit holder doesn’t allow you to get the slotted bit fully and squarely seated in the screw slot. You have to press extremely hard, otherwise you’ll strip the screw before you reach the torque setting. It does has a great feel when you reach the desired torque setting. There’s a loud audible click and just the handle rotates about an additional quarter turn, so it’s almost impossible to miss your mark. Overall, it’s a good torque screwdriver at a great price.

Good product
Very useful for tight areas

Great bit of kit

Nice and handy set any household should have

Bought to torque my scope screws up and various other rifle parts. Can’t fault it. It’s a decent price, and ery good quality. Been using it awhile now, and seems to do the job perfectly.
