It's time to put aside that rusty old screwdriver and invest in an upgrade for your next project. Hoto's original mini electric precision screwdriver is an absolute steal at the moment, dropping down to a record-low price on Amazon. This is a firm favourite of ours at Tom's Hardware, with several editors and writers (including myself) owning this very set.
We saw this screwdriver drop in price over Black Friday, but this Hoto screwdriver is now down to just £28.49 on Amazon, with delivery still possible before Christmas. The RRP for this set has dropped from its original £80 starting position with the release of its upgraded model, but a 43% saving on this model's current £49.99 list price is still one that you'll find is hard to beat.
This portable kit is a great starter kit for an enthusiast, ready to deal with any seriously small screws that you might be faced with. The 3.6V driver itself uses a 1,500mAh battery that reportedly allows you to drive over 1,000 screws from a full charge. It uses USB-C for charging via the supplied cable, so there's no need to worry about finding a set of AA batteries, with a total charge taking just 150 minutes from start to finish.
This is an ultralight kit, weighing just 250g, with a casing made out of plastic and TPE rubber that makes it both robust and comfortable to hold. The Hoto NEX O1 Pro itself is fully adjustable, too, with three different torque settings, along with a built-in sensor that will stop driving as soon as you release control. The HOTO also includes a circular LED to help you see, even in a tight spot or dark environment. It's also fully magnetic, so you won't lose any tiny screws while you work, either.
You get 12 different screw bits with this kit, with the selection including a variety of Phillips, Torx, flat, hexagon, and Pozidriv head options, which are all rated for 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. These come stored in a sturdy aluminium storage box, which also protects the Hoto screwdriver itself when it isn't in use.
This Hoto NEX O1 Pro is a must-have piece of kit for a hobbyist, 3D print enthusiast, or even a DIYer, and it's one I'm personally glad to have in my arsenal. You'll struggle to find a better price on an electric driver than this original set at its £28.49 sale price, so if you're looking for an upgrade like this, make sure to grab it before the discount runs out.
