I was using this, until i need to drill some furniture and my mains powered hammer drill could not fit in the space. So when to hoot this as well

This is powerful enuf to drill wood and to tighten/loosen tight screw, that sometimes the 3.6v FIXA is not able to handle. It cames with torque control so it helps in preventing overtightening of the screws. Its cheaper than the ones with removable batteries sold in hardware shop too.

I use some Wera screwdrivers. A bit of impulse buy :eek:
They have these series of laser etched tip screwdrivers.

I'm using this too.... to fix furniture and REAL hardware.

PC hardware, well, I've got plenty of tools bought and gathered over time and there's more at the office lab. Nothing expensive, just ordinary stuff that you can buy from small shops.

Quality not so good. Tip break easily, not for heavy duty.

Invest in good tools, spend some money and that screwdriver will last you a long time.
Especially for phillips screwdriver, ph1, ph2.
The good ones are more precise and do less damage to the screws.

Phillips screws are designed to cam out, that means, you're more likely to ruin the screw, and get a stuck one that is difficult to remove.
Then you'll need some special tools to remove damaged screws and waste more time and money.

Wiha, Wera, Vessel are the ones I have.
