Vessel Electric Ball Grip Screwdriver | 3 Speed | 220USB-P1

[@Tony_Ey_O_Badabing]

Copier repair guy here. That was a great review and demonstration. I use this driver often and I like pretty well. You touched on some pretty key points as far as expectation and category of use. It does a good job, especially in tight spaces where your working blind or with only one hand like you mentioned in the video. Also the torque is appropriate for the size and design. It's definitely for predrilled or threaded machine screws and not something for any type of construction use. It's a quality tool and I recommend it to anyone doing similar repair work.

[@projectpinehills]

Copier repair guy, thanks for posting, this is good feedback. Definitely a good fit for tight spaces. It could be mistaken for a standard ball grip screwdriver.

Appreciate the perspective, im also a copier repair guy, ill have to get myself one!

[@WarPigstheHun]

Wow. It's a ball screwdriver that isn't a crappy Chinese rip off! Finally! I was looking for the original.

[@ayrtonm]

@ I got mine last week & its a game changer. Found the bits hold screws extremely well. I also bought a couple 'annex' brand magnetic bits that slot over the shaft of the screwdriver and it makes the already great magnetic shaft even better.

I have had a couple of these for a while now and they quickly became my favorite tool in my bags. I pair it with the 5/16 half of the Klein impact 11-1 with a PH and flat bit from a Milwaukee refill type kit, and the schrader/t-stat driver from the Klein 8-1 hvac.

[@projectpinehills]

That’s a good combination, adding a multitool capability. Thanks for posting.

[@naezro]

When I was an Lighting Maintenance tech, the Vessel was king. It fit in my tool pouch perfectly, lightweight and power enough for any machine screws. you could put a malco bit and run nuts out.

[@projectpinehills]

That’s a good combo. Thanks for posting! 👍

[@k1_w3]

I’m glad you picked this one up. I think I recommended it on a previous Vessel screwdriver video of yours. I use mine without the Makita spacer, but thanks for including a link for it. I will have to pick one up. 👍

[@projectpinehills]

You did. I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I didn’t like the single speed options where you had to pick slow or fast and I thought the US collet version would be a good option.

[@k1_w3]

@@projectpinehills Yeah, I think I picked mine up based on Morgan's Maintenance's recommendation. I've had it for awhile and have no complaints. It seems pretty robust and operates smoothly.

[@philipcaldwell3187]

JIS bits rule. My Phillips bits are now my loaners.

[@projectpinehills]

They are great. Thanks for posting!

For most electrical i do this is the easy choice. Each bag has one to total 3 of them. People complaining about price if you put a reasonable size order into Amazon japan these can be had for under 30 dollars and in fun special edition colors as well. I do own all of what you show and thr craftsman as a manual screwdriver is junk. This vessel can take alot of torque in manual turning I leave it in its highest setting it lasts for days to weeks on a charge (100s of recipticles). Your crazy not to use the Japanese double ended bits they are good cheap and is better than a insert but holder. Let's face it most of us doing electrical basically needs ph2 and sl 5.5 and I use a shorter 65mm version of that annex bit. If you must have bits you can get in store milwaukee makes a 2in double ended bit 3 pack with various combinations (ph2/sl6 sq2 t25). As for the up and down slop when you pushing on a screw doesn't matter even with 9mm bits in 13mm chuck? It's less of a problem than you think. Great tool for the right situation even assembly of furniture fixtures. It's nice to keep the mp2x light and trim with this.

[@projectpinehills]

I didn’t know you had 3, that’s good feedback. Double ended bits do make it more useful and I like the 65mm idea. Good point on the play of bits. It’s best to try and see if it even matters. Thanks for posting! 👍

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

I'm a big fan of not sharing tools and swaping around between bags hence 3 of them but to be fair one is rhe special edition blue the regular and Grey special edition. All 3 of thoes cost about as much as the us version on Amazon japan. The 65mm annex bits are 2 dollars with average shipping in a big order of 3 to 5 more for 2 bits . That same 2 bits on Amazon usa is 20 dollars. You see a theme here for thoes scoffing at the price maybe go at it a diffrent way and save a ton of money or make it as much as the cheaper alternative in store for a better product.

[@Pepe-dq2ib]

The Annex plus/minus combination bit is really nice too. I mainly use it to install the receptacle screws.

[@projectpinehills]

@Pepe-dq2ib It is nice 👍

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

I use the 65mm version of that double ended bits he shows to keep the tool as short as possible. Thoes bits are nearly parallel tip on the slotted that's why they fit the cover screws so well. If your looking for the listing for thoes bits there attached on az usa to the annex racheting screwdriver just look at the options. Yes they do charge more for the short ones vs long love the price gouge.

[@LeeA953]

is that the manual lock will isolate the motor? I afriad the motor will be hurt if used in manual mode

[@M3a9m]

This is another great, well-put-together video that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I'm not a fan of screwdrivers with gyroscopic functions. I totally agree with your verdicts by enlarge except for having that Dewalt cordless screwdriver when you already had a Milwaukee 12v impact driver and vessel. Nevertheless, you can never have enough tools in your arsenal, especially if you are a tools lover like myself. I love hand tools so much that I've become more like a tool collector. Always look forward to eagerly trying out new tools and foster the experience, good or bad. Lastly, on echoing your thoughts I do enjoy my vessel with many other cordless drivers in my collection such as Milwaukee impact driver both 12v & 18v fuel, l Wiha speed VDE & more.

[@timchaas]

The Dewalt gyroscope screwdriver is still THE ONE to own and carry. Good reviews though. Keep up the good work

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for watching and posting. The DeWalt is a good one. 👍

[@davidkay4174]

I BOUGHT A HART 4V. PISTOL GRIP SCREEW DRIVER , 25 BUCKS BEST POWER DRIVER I EVER BOUGHT

[@projectpinehills]

Nice! Thanks for posting. 👍

[@Tony_Ey_O_Badabing]

I have one as well but I find its noticeably slower and takes up more valuable real estate in my tool case than the Vessel. I do still keep the Hart in my work truck though because it is a good quality little driver.

[@davidkay4174]

@@Tony_Ey_O_Badabing i love the rocker switch i wish all drills were set up that way

[@sloanNYC]

I really like how much smaller the Vessel are and they feel great. I end up using the high speed version more though because I just get screws started by hand and then love the speed. The Denali from Amazon is cheap and really strong too, though more the Craftsman size, I believe the Denali is just a rebadged Skil. EDIT: Looks like the just call it Amazon Basics by Skil now instead of Denali.

[@projectpinehills]

Thanks for posting!

[@BackToTheGame.98]

Torque Test Channel seems to like the Amazon driver, but also the Dremel one is apparently really nice too.

[@sloanNYC]

@@BackToTheGame.98 I didn't know about this new Vessel one, but $90???? That's insane!

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Torque isn't everything size weight and function in manul rotation matter too. The cheapest tool isn't always the best and the most expensive tool isn't always the best. Give this a shot you may just like it.

[@sloanNYC]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn I have the 3 speed and high-speed Japanese versions as stated above and really like the high speed more. But the Amazon/Skil one is a great price, not too big, and has really good torque and speed overall. I keep that one in the garage, the Vessel are in my main tool bag.

[@sauceNkicks]

I love mine. Use it on my rc cars. Mainly low or medium speed

[@EyeOfTheTiger601]

I got the 4th comment!! I’m gonna be number 1 one of these days. I look forward to your videos sir!!! I was just talking among our guys and telling them I was about to order a Power Ball Grip Screwdriver. Which is your favorite ? Also FYI to anyone who reads this…. When you have these bits that don’t fit in any driver very well…. And I’m speaking on my Klein kit but I’ve tried this trick with multiple brands of bits going into a 1/4 handle… If I don’t like the way for instance a Klein flip socket that doesn’t lock in a position when the sockets get close to the handle because it only locks in the position that has the little ring cut out in the shaft right ahead of the connection that is there to lock how and where it’s designed… I take a really small Dremel tool cutting wheel and I cut my own slot around the shaft and get any brand 1/4 bits to lock in positions that I like the factory doesn’t give us the option to have. Anyways… It works well and hope it helps if you try it

[@projectpinehills]

Cordless or manual?

[@EyeOfTheTiger601]

Man you are on it Dogg-onit !! I’m wanting the most powerful best feeling power screwdriver. I’m a commercial electrician. I only want it for installing/making up trim jewelry and such. No hard work or even making up screw type connectors to conduit. I want it to be powerful but in a light duty way

[@projectpinehills]

The DeWalt Gyro. There are some others out there too.

[@bensami59]

Great vidéo, I have this screwdriver and for standard bit you can put two magnet 6x2 mm. 😊

[@projectpinehills]

You mean add two small magnets to the bit holder? Thats a good idea.

[@bensami59]

yes you can add your own standard bit holder with you fixe with glue 2 magnets at the end and you reserve this for standard bit, or you can fixe 2 magnet without glue direct of the end of standard bit

[@iri1088]

Awesome!

[@randysmith9636]

I have the Milwaukee m12 2-speed screwdriver. 375 inch lbs. It is the same size as the impact driver but being a screwdriver it is smooth, doesn't impact and has a variable speed trigger. It is the more powerful version of the one you have. I know it can drive 3" deck screws. Have you tested the Vessel to see how long it will last installing smaller screws?

[@projectpinehills]

The Vessel has an excellent battery life. Thanks for posting!

I think the grip would be better if they added veins to the shaft

[@TheJourneyOfMeMyselfAndI]

I always thought high speed is lower torque and low speed is higher torque

[@projectpinehills]

So did I and it typically does, but not on this screwdriver. It shows the newton meters right below the RPM’s on the box. Thanks for posting! 👍

[@dperreno]

@@projectpinehills Yes, that's pretty interesting. Probably because it doesn't have separate gearing for the different speeds. It seems that the screwdriver actually just varies the power supplied to the motor, resulting in both higher speeds and higher torque with more power.

[@thenexthobby]

Wondering how often anyone uses all 3 speeds. Vessel has other versions with just the high or "standard" speed.

[@projectpinehills]

I do change the speeds as needed but I bet a lot of people don’t. Thanks for posting! 👍

1:33 the most torque is at the slowest speed. You have it backwards. Otherwise it’s a good video.

Wrong lol. I thought the same. Read the specs in Newton Meters. It’s on the box right below the speeds. Thanks for posting!

Really want to watch your videos, but the way you say collet is absolutely abhorrent. Its cOllet, not cUllet.
