Screwdrivers are a staple of any toolbox, but manual ones can be tiring to use and aren’t always the best tool for the job. Electric screwdrivers are a more efficient option that can take the stress out of DIY tasks, and I love using them. They’ve even replaced my precision screwdrivers in delicate work, such as working on laptops and smartphones.

Assembling PCs by hand can be grueling work, so having an electric screwdriver on deck has been a game-changer for me. As computers get more lightweight, I find myself working with smaller screws: sometimes far smaller than a grain of rice. These screws require a delicate touch, making a good mini electric screwdriver kit an essential tool.

The SES Ultra kit is a modern take on the precision screwdriver. The pencil-style screwdriver has an ergonomic design that allows it to be gripped firmly for extended periods with easy-to-use controls. It also has a sensible range of torque settings: enough to break small fasteners free but not so much as to cause mayhem.
