Hoto’s electric screwdriver is a great deal at $42.99

Most people find themselves in need of a screwdriver at some point, whether it’s to take apart controllers, consoles, and computers, or just to make quick fixes around the house. This Hoto electric tool was recommended to me by my friends at The Verge. It’s currently on sale for 30%, so it is a great deal. Clicking the Amazon link will allow you to get this screwdriver for just $41.99 instead of its usual $59.99 price.

I can’t fault normal screwdrivers for being unintuitive, but there are some good reasons why you might want to upgrade. It seems great for people with limited mobility, or those who’ve just Had itScrewdrivers that you can crank. The one you’re using can perform all tasks. However, it has an electric mode and a manual mode in case that is what you want.

This screwdriver is operated by two buttons, one clockwise and another counterclockwise. The screwdriver can be recharged via the USB-C connector, which is also used by your Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck. The torque can be adjusted to suit your needs, whether you want it tighter for electronics or a more gentle screwing. Plus, it has a ring light to illuminate the task at hand, in case the room you’re in isn’t providing enough ambient light to work with.

Hoto Tools

The 12 bits included with this screwdriver are basic, and won’t cover every kind of repair under the sun. This screwdriver includes three sizes (PH1, PH2, and PH3) of Philips Head, four Hex, (H3, Hex, H4, H5, T6, H6), two Torx, (T20, T25), as well one flat blade, (SL4), one Pozidriv, (PZ2). I’m encouraged by one Amazon reviewer who said that the Hoto screwdriver accepts normal drill bits, so the bits geared toward electronics repair included in iFixit’s $19.99 Moray Driver Kit should work just fine.
