Top mistakes when choosing a screwdriver

With the advent of screwdrivers, many everyday tasks have been simplified. Now you can easily correct the rickety closet door, hang a mirror or a picture, attach the shelves to the wall, even screw new floors to the lags with a screwdriver. An ordinary screwdriver does not withstand competition, because screwing a screw in by hand is not only a difficult and long task, but also the strength of the connection often leaves much to be desired. Therefore, in every house it is worth having a screwdriver. To choose it correctly, you need to avoid common mistakes.

 If you need to carry out professional work, you do not need to save and purchase a household screwdriver. Yes, it is convenient to handle it due to the presence of a battery, but its power is not comparable with professional equipment.

Some in vain do not pay attention to which batteries are attached to the screwdriver. Meanwhile, this is the most expensive part of the tool, so you should carefully study the passport of the battery, paying attention to the voltage that determines power, capacity, responsible for the duration of the work, and see if there is a memory effect and the charge itself, as practice shows, it is better to do without him.

We should also say about the duration of the work, which is largely determined by the type of battery. Many of the desire to save money are acquired by tools with a cadmium battery, but meanwhile they have the smallest capacity. To work for a long time, it is worth stopping on copies with lithium-ion batteries. You should also pay attention to how long the battery takes to fully charge. A professional tool can be charged in an hour, while an amateur one will need 5-7 hours, so for serious work you need to buy a more expensive professional tool.

Some mistakenly believe that any screwdriver, in addition to twisting and unscrewing self-tapping screws, can also drill. However, not all models have this feature. Usually, the speed controller speaks of its presence, because for drilling and twisting of self-tapping screws it must be different due to the difference in materials.

Many are wasting money buying screwdrivers with batteries and using them a few times a year. Much more practical in this case is to take an electric tool that will work from an outlet. If you do not charge removable batteries, they begin to lose their working capacity and eventually become unusable.

/

 One common mistake is to buy the most powerful tool. The fact is that you should not spend extra money if long-term work with a heavy load is not planned. A powerful tool is heavy, it is not very convenient to work with it, and besides, due to its size, it will not be possible to perform twisting in hard-to-reach places.

/

Therefore, before purchasing a screwdriver, you first need to determine how often you will need to use it and what work to do.
