A screwdriver is a must-have tool in every home. To facilitate the screwing and untwisting process, tool manufacturers invented an electric battery model. Some unknowingly compare it with a screwdriver, but the latter can perform more difficult tasks. What are the disadvantages of a cordless electric screwdriver?
Differences between a screwdriver and a screwdriver
The main visual difference between tools is size. The electric screwdriver is compact, it can fit in your pocket, while a screwdriver is a solid tool.
Other differences:
- The screwdriver does not have a chuck, so it can not be used as a drill, which is rather a minus;
- The electric screwdriver has a small battery capacity, even if the latter are the latest models. Long-term use of such a tool is impossible, therefore, it can only be used to solve everyday problems;
- The screwdriver motor is weak. With the help of such a tool it is impossible to twist even long self-tapping screws, which sharply limits its use. But if it turns out to screw in one self-tapping screw, then the screwdriver’s charge will run out on this, this deprives the tool of any sense of use for such work;
- Electric screwdrivers do not have replaceable batteries, which greatly complicates the work with large volumes. It constantly requires recharging, so its use at a construction site is impossible.
All these shortcomings of a cordless screwdriver are detected in comparison with a screwdriver, but the purpose of the tools is different. For example, a screw driver, due to its large size, is not able to screw self-tapping screws in hard-to-reach places, which speaks in favor of a screwdriver.
Other disadvantages
The main disadvantage of the battery-powered electric screwdriver is the quick discharge of the power supply. Two problems arise here: the tool cannot be used, and after discharging it is necessary to wait until the power supply is completely restored. Thus, this type of electric screwdriver is suitable exclusively for small household tasks.
At first glance, buying it seems like a great idea for use in places where mains electricity is intermittent. But what if the screwdriver is discharged and there is no power source in the vicinity? It turns out that the essence of the screwdriver disappears due to poor performance.
Also, due to the weak power of the motor, the screwdriver can poorly fix the screwdriver in the thickness of the material, which will subsequently affect its operation. Given the small price of this device, these shortcomings seem even more significant. And if you purchase a budget option, then this may affect the quality of work.
