Review: great powered driver, lots of bit options (read on) - First off this is actually a very nice precision powered driver. It comes with a few common bits that are very helpful to get you going. The handle and feel of the unit overall is good. those with large and small hands alike should find themselves comfortable with this device. This is a precision screwdriver, please make sure you are getting it for the right reason. this is for working on small finely details projects that. the rotational speed of the bit is not fast nor should it be, but it has some good torq, so if you are driving into a soft material make sure you stop just before the end and finish turning by hand. When not powered the bit is pretty much locked so you can tighten it down by hand without the risk of stripping anything. **Optional Bits** This was one of the biggest issues i have read when i went through the reviews, well i want to tell you all that there are lots of options and i will give you 2 VERY amazing ones right now. This driver is the "perfect' companion to the iFixit kits. Both the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit and just the iFixit 54 Bit Driver Kit come with a crap ton of bits. Actually each comes with 54. In addition the top row of bits in each kit are varies sized adapters so you can use any bits sized from 2mm up to 5mm in this precision screw driver. Buying this driver with one of those sets is really a match made in heaven. I have the pro kit and this driver and i have yet to find something i cant tackle. The battery life of the driver is pretty good too it lasts me quite a while. i haven't actually times it but others have reported ~100 hours or so and i cant disagree with that. Im currently using the supplied Alkaline batteries, and once i can find my AAA NiMH batteries i will be giving those a try. Overall this is a great driver, with no issues, regardless what others are saying. I would totally recommend this product **If this review was helpful please click the button below
Review: General Tools Cordless 500 - Just received this tool and am very impressed with everything about it. Even the packaging was excellent. As for the screwdriver, I think the quality is amazing! It's slim & light, with a 'rubberized' holding area & just the right balance. I've found that if you hold it like a pen, and use the 'thumb' as the delegated switch operator it's super easy to use. The sound is almost exactly like a 'dentist's' drill. I've read some reviews complaining about it being too slow. Well, to remove screws it's plenty fast enough. Far better than by hand. What really amazed me was the torque power for such a light tool! I bought it figuring I would use it only for delicate jobs (computer type jobs, things like that), but I figured I'd try it out also on some standard screw removals. I tested it on the screws that hold together my big tape measure and it had no problem even "starting" (breaking the hold as it's referred to) the screws. Then I tried it on my computer station "hold together screws" and it did just as easy a job as the other. This is an exceptionally fine tool. I checked it out from top to bottom and can honestly say it's quality is exceptional. It comes with two batteries which actually "work" (not the usual case with "supplied batteries" in most items). It comes with six bits which are very good quality (two slot, two philips, & two star, all in a neat little plastic holder). For $20 you can't beat it! I think it's actually worth more. I can't comment on it's longevity yet but will update accordingly. One thing I think worth commenting on is the cap that screws on after you install the batteries. I've found that usually a cheaper, less quality tool has a cap that just doesn't fit or seat perfectly, and after just one or two turns, it's on...but on this one the tap & dye work done for the threads is near precision work. It takes about thirteen turns to seat this cap snuggly. This may not seem an important point to some, but it tells me this was quality built. Lastly, these kinds of small cordless screwdrivers are rare to come by. I'm glad I got it now. If you're looking for one, this is the one to get. Update 4/6/2012: I can't stop saying enough good things about this tool. I am tempted to buy another one just in case they become unavailable or are discontinued from production. I have always loved 'quality tools', regardless of the type. This cordless screwdriver is such a tool. It's made for the specific task of placing or removing small screws. It's not an "auto mechanic's" screwdriver, nor is it one you would build a deck, swingset, etc. with either. It is a small, beautifully engineered, quality made instrument for the task mentioned. But, it actually does remove screws that you wouldn't expect it to. Just for the fun of 'using it' I have randomly tested it's power on various screws around my house and it's fantastic. SO, how much MORE FANTASTIC on the small simple screws it was designed for? I can only say in response to those reviews that say "it's too slow"...or "doesn't have the torque". It's one of the best tools I've owned to do exactly (plus) what its' supposed to do. I LOVE IT. Period.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it lock in the off position so you can use it to initially break a screw loose and then spin it out with power?  How does that work?**
A: No it doesn't. The gear train between the motor and the screwdriver shaft is a high reduction setup. I.e. the motor turns fast and the shaft turns slowly. Trying to twist the the screwdriver bit in either direct can be done but is fairly difficult as you are trying to spin a reduction gear in the opposite direction. In other words, trying to spin the motor and the gears at high speed meets with serious resistance. It's OK for little screws, tho', up to M3/6BA.

**Q: Does this now use 4mm bits?**
A: I received mine today, and measured the bits.  They are 4mm not 1/8".  I not that Tekton precision bits will fit, because I have those also and tried them.  I believe all of the precision bit sets I have bought, within the past year or so, are 4mm so they are all interchangeable.

**Q: does this have an adaptor that goes with it ? How do you keep it charged**
A: This tool uses two AA batteries. I do use Rechargeable batteries .

**Q: Is the thumb switch "trigger" variable speed?  Or is it either on or off?  Does it actually click on or you let go of it, will it return to off pos.**
A: No, it is only one speed with a pretty good torque however it will not strip the screws. The switch is either on or off and must be held for forward or reverse directions. Keep in mind that this tool will fit the "abcGoodefg® 45 in 1 42 Tip Precision Magnetic Bit Screwdriver Set With Extension Bar". Hope it works for you as it has for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, quick, precise and a time saver.
*by L***O on July 30, 2025*

This automatic mini screwdriver at first glance looks like one of those tools you would have little use for. Something you might toss in your toolbox or drawer and forget about. I know because that’s what I did! Then when I took on a new position as a solar equipment installer I needed a tiny screwdriver to torque these itty bitty terminal screws for 22 gauge wires. I didn’t have anything substantial, just one of those little pocket screwdrivers you find lying around. I took it to work with me and it was excellent! So easy to use, precise and pretty rugged. I have to hold these tiny 22 gauge wires in the terminal with one hand and tighten the screw with the other. This makes the frustratingly precise job so easy. Just push the switch forward or backwards to operate and it gets the screws tight. It comes with 5 precise interchangeable bits from small to tiny Phillips and flathead. Perfect for thermostat wires, electronics any tiny jobs. The batteries last a long time too and for $22, a tool that makes your job way easier is worth every penny. I had mine for years left in a drawer and have used it daily for the past 3 years without failing. I’m getting another one as a backup because my coworker always borrows it and you know how other people treat your tools! I gave it 4 stars only because I would like it better if it were made of higher impact plastic, like Polycarbonate or reinforced Nylon like what’s used for power tools. Other than that it’s a well made reliable tool.
