Thankyou for your demonstration . Damaging your screwdriver helped me repair my own unit without damaging it . I am grateful to you for that . Thanks again

[@petesmith8000]

My wife just got this for work so was curious. Initial testing shows it works very well - & after watching your review will now buy one for myself. Thanks

[@Outside-In.]

Thank you sir, and God Bless you as well... I had to sub - I just purchased one of these and am looking forward to using it when it gets here.

[@jdmccorful]

I like what I see. I have bought a couple other micro srew drivers from banggood and ebay. I will keep this one in mind. Good work and good choice. Thanks.

Getting that endcap out was painful, but I appreciate you showing us how it was put together. I looked around the house, and it turned out that an Acorn D Penny Whistle (like a small flute) is exactly the right size tube to go down into the body of the screwdriver, go around that charging board, and press on the outside edge of that plastic endcap. I put some scotch tape on the outside of the whistle to keep it from getting scratched up. After hammering it down inside the body of the screwdriver about 20 times (while holding onto the outside of the screwdriver tube with my other hand), the endcap came out pretty clean. If you happen to have another metal tube around that’s thin-walled and slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the screwdriver body tube, it would work.

The main trick to this of course is the way the inside is held in with the tiny curved keys. After I found that, it was very easy to pull the internals out. Thanks for sharing!

[@mahuubao]

Excellent ... Well done ...

[@BlueRidgeMarine]

Thumbing up. 👍

My wowstick died quite a while back and if I recall, it was the IC on the battery’s protection board hidden under all of the shrink wrap film. I bought a new similar sized lipo battery but it’s unprotected and doesn’t have both terminals on one end so it’s not ideal. I also had similar problems dismantling mine at the USB port end and messed up the charging board a bit. I think its all salvageable still but not sure about using an unprotected battery. Maybe the charging IC might provide some protection though. I still need to look at the charging IC’s data sheet after I write this. For the price I might just buy another and keep this one for spare parts but it’s a shame the weak link was the battery’s own protection IC. I think maybe it was too much current draw through it that cooked it.

Nice video bro

[@nereplalp]

Hey dude, just wanted to say thanks for disassembling your tool for us! Really helped me out I would've never figured out those metal tabs/keys were there

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Awesome, thanks for your comment!

[@mostafizurrahman8945]

u r very intelligent!!!!

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Thanks so much for your kind comment!

[@tofmcwilliams887]

I got one of these a couple years ago. (Might not be the same model, but all the same items were provided.) I found it to be too underpowered to be of much use. Perhaps they rectified that in the model you received. FWIW: Items I used it on were: disassembling a printer and breaking down li-ion battery packs.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

As mentioned I have the larger and bulky powered drivers to disassemble the battery packs, tools etc. It's not a replacement for those of course. I wanted this one for the tiny work with many screws in smaller ipads, smart phones and the like. I did start off showing it surprised me taking apart the larger screws from the component tester pretty well, but of course I knew that was pushing it a little for it's size. I guess I should have mentioned that it was mainly for the tiny jobs, but I was actually impressed for the motor size it has and still super small. Thanks for your comment!

[@ThePhilbox]

Should the gears be lubricated if I have it open??? Silicone spray?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

As long as it's not in dusty environment I don't think it would hurt to use a bit of silicone on them. If I remember correctly the gears are brass and steel so they are made to run together without large friction and should not normally need lubricant. If you see an issue I would not hesitate to add a little.

[@ThePhilbox]

@@ThriftyToolShed excellent! Thank you!

[@jaym5938]

The tiny metal tab has fallen too far in to remove and I cannot get the motor mechanism out! I presume it can come out the USB side if we're willing to destroy it? Shame. I would like to fix my screwdriver, not destroy it :( Thanks for the teardown, it helps.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

I had to turn mine over and tap on the bench to make them slide around. Just wondering if you turned it over and held a vibrating tool like an oscillating tool or even a jig saw with no blade to the back of it if the little tabs would slide around with the vibration?

[@jaym5938]

@@ThriftyToolShed Ha! I tried everything. Even pushed a curved paperclip down there with some superglue. I'm just going to buy a new one and then take out the pins (if able) and put something under them so they never slide down :)

[@speed6725]

I got mine the other day. I got a kick out of the packaging. “I’m a screw pad.” “I’m a tool box.”
