Not bad for the price. Regarding the torque setting, it is not a decoration (as many reviews said), on the diagram of the unit on the last page of the manual you can see that here is used a gearbox with clutch setting. The fact that it does not work is a problem of Chinese manufacturing, I advise the manufacturer to pay attention to this.
Now I will tell you briefly about how to fix it, if you are not afraid to disassemble such things) The problem lies in the screw ring (n21 on the diagram), it is not adjusted properly (overtightened). I did not found a way to easily and quickly disassemble the front of the chuck (to remove external adjusting ring), so I disassembled the whole gearbox to remove the output axle, it was an obstacle to remove the adjustment ring. Need to mention that the back gearbox cover with the motor is removed by turning! Do not try to bend the plastic clips. Next, for convenience, I assembled the unit without the outer adjustment ring (on the photo), installed the bit and started tightening the ring checking for slipping, when the motor just started to lock up, that’s about the maximum setting, then you can put it back together. If you don’t need the maximum torque, you can adjust it to your needs.
PS
Don’t forget to charge the battery to maximum, otherwise it may happen that when you charge it fully afterwards the gearbox will start slipping at the maximum setting. And don’t lose self lock pins (N11 on the scheme)
Theoretically, the adjustment range is larger, there are two teeth in the outer ring, so the rotation angle is limited to 180 degrees, I think by removing one of them it is possible to get a more flexible adjustment (360 degrees), will check it later.

Havenât really used it yet but it seems good. Nicely organized. Versatile. Small but not too small.

My impact driver bit the dust just before winter hit, i custom made an 8ft cover for my truck, but still needed to put holes in some aluminum areas on the truck bed.
This little guy was able to drill through my ’07 f150 bed, so i could get my truck secured for the season. I havent replaced my impact yet, but this little kit saved me in a jam.

works GREAT!!!! Awesome
I used this today for the first time. I am impressed. I had to put some screws in my fence pickets. It has kept the charge, easy to use, and awesome. I put pilot holes in and then put my screws in. I am an old lady. If I can do it so can you. I have never used anything like this before. This electric screwdriver is fantastic. I highly recommend this item.

Torque control at affordable price and get the job don.
Hard to find such an affordable screw drive with torque control (1~5 with 0.5 increment plus a drill mode). This tool is light and easy to use. A full charge lasts lots of screws and keeps going. The bits are pretty sturdy for my projects. The keyless chunk and the magnetic bit adapter makes bit changing very easy. Two handle modes are a nice feature. Overall very satisfied with the purchase.

Nice little screw driver
Will do many household tasks. Stays charged thru small jobs, which is the only thing Iâve used it for. Nice case built in slots for bits.

Just one nit to pick with the bit
I honestly donât know why I didnât get one of these sooner. The reason I got this model over Black and Decker or others was that it was USB-C charged (not an annoying non-interchangeable DC plug), had torque control, had a nice case that held everything neatly, and had the light. Basically had everything I wanted at a very good price point.
After using it a bunch during a recent move, I have to say I love it. Itâs got enough power for most small home projects like screwing in wall anchors or putting together furniture. The battery is good enough to last for a big project. It has plenty of bits that are well organized in the case. The light is helpful. The torque control is handy. Basically everything works well and it feels solid for the price.
The only thing I donât like about it is that the bits arenât magnetic so they tend to fall out of the extender piece that gets locked into the chuck. You can put the bits directly into the chuck but you donât have much space to work with if you do. Itâs not a huge deal, but it is kinda annoying when it happens. Seems like something that could have been easily fixed with magnetic tips.
If youâre worried about whether itâs powerful enough to do most jobs around the house, I can reassure you that it is. It obviously wonât replace a real drill or impact driver for large projects, but everyday stuff is so much easier with this thing than manual effort. Itâs a no brainer to pick it up if you donât have an electric screwdriver. You wonât regret it.
Update: I used this to put together a 7 piece outdoor furniture set and now having done a larger project with it I can say that it is quite annoying that the bits donât lock into the extender that locks into the chuck. I used the hex bits quite a lot and more times than not, they would get stuck in the bolt and the bit would come out of the screwdriver. If the extender only had a locking mechanism for the bit, this would be a 5 star screwdriver, but as it is, itâs very annoying to have to reattach the bit every other use.
Update 2: I bought an extender with a locking tip thatâs also magnetic and it made me realize how much I love this thing (besides the stock extender) that I had to give it 5 stars again. I just use it way too much and love the organized case and basically everything else about it that it doesnât feel fair to knock it a star for the stock extender. Do yourself a favor and just get the extender right away and keep it in the case. You wonât be disappointed.

Easy to use
I recently purchased the AVID POWER Electric Screwdriver Set, and I couldnât be happier with my decision. As someone who isnât very experienced with tools, I was initially unsure if this product would be easy enough for me to use. However, it exceeded all my expectations and has quickly become one of my favorite tools for small household projects.
The cordless design makes it incredibly convenient, and the rechargeable feature saves the hassle of constantly buying batteries. With 44 included accessories, Iâve been able to tackle a variety of tasks, from assembling furniture to fixing cabinets. The 5+1 torque settings and the 5.65Nm power provide just the right amount of control and strength for both light and medium tasks. Even for a beginner like me, itâs easy to adjust the settings to suit the job.
What I love most about this screwdriver is its two-position handle, which makes it comfortable to hold and use in tight spaces. The LED light is a fantastic feature, especially when working in dimly lit areasâitâs a thoughtful addition that I didnât know I needed. Despite being powerful, the tool is lightweight and easy to handle, making it perfect for anyone, including women like me who may not have a lot of experience with power tools.
Overall, this screwdriver is user-friendly, versatile, and well-made. Whether youâre an experienced DIYer or just need a reliable tool for occasional use, I highly recommend this kit. Itâs an excellent value for the price!

inexpensive, you get what you pay for
The thing works OK, batt. life is good. The instuctions are not great, but it’s easy to figure out. The chuck doesn’t hold the bit holder in very well, it must be used as the supplied bits are to short for the chuck. It does come with 6 drill bits that do work in the chuck, however the inst. says the screwdrive should not be used as a drill. It only turns 200 rpm any way. Over all it’s OK for the price, I’ve been using it almost every day. I also own an Avid Power cordless 1/2 in. drive impact gun that works great for wheel nuts.
