Enough for most screws?

"Precision" driving of screws in (easily damaged) electronic devices (such as smartphones, etc.) is done manually, not with powered screwdrivers! For general purposes, it may be decent, but don't expect the best results (as it has limited torque).

I like having an electric screwdriver for furniture assembly, but yeah, I wouldn't use it on electronics

Worked in a phone repair shop for a while, never found a good one of these.

They either have too much torque to not round out bits, or not enough torque to turn out fully fastened bits without help. Most of them also aren't significantly faster than your average tech can spin a driver, much less someone who's quick with it.

You'd be much better served with something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-Pr...B00HTN5FUQ [iFixit sold a branded version of this, found it in the back of the store when I was new and cherished it until I left. It left with me, and sees use to this day Stick Out Tongue]

I purchased this a few weeks ago when it was $20. Its actually pretty great. It's strong enough to help unscrew most screws, and if you hold the screw or unscrew button, it lets you use the twist of your hand to unscrew/screw like a normal screwdriver or wrench, so it's a win-win in my book, and I will be ordering another one. woot
