When choosing any tool, it is important to pay attention to its parameters. The main ones for screwdrivers will be:

• torque;
• revolutions per minute;
• battery capacity.

The torque of most products of the German manufacturer is 4.5 N / m. Many other firms offer products with 3 H / m. This characteristic relates to the pulling force of the tool and is directly related to its power. That is, the larger this value, the better resistance the tool can overcome, and therefore develop a greater speed.

The number of revolutions per minute measures the number of rotations made by the tool around its own axis. All rotating mechanisms, differing in scale (from the plate to the planet Earth) are measured by this value.

The capacity of the battery determines how long it will hold a charge. 1.5 Ah is considered a good indicator. Some manufacturers offer products with a capacity of 0.6 Ah. This technical characteristic is assigned to all batteries.

The Bosch screwdriver in the Basic configuration comes without attachments and other accessories, but it is enough for doing homework. The price for the model will be acceptable - from 1,500 rubles. Medium picking devices - a set with bats, a case and other add-ons is more expensive. The tool is bought by professional craftsmen. For homework, some of the accessories from the kit are simply nothing.

The Full picking tool is classified as a gift set, since everything that is in it can be gradually purchased separately. And the parts included in the delivery often get dusty on home shelves unnecessarily.

Battery-powered screwdrivers are not considered very convenient for minor repairs. For example, electronics parts cannot be unscrewed due to a too massive handle. In addition, a special adapter is required for small screws, which is simply not available with the German manufacturer's screwdriver sets.

Despite some limitations, a tool with a battery can handle many jobs.

The technical device will help in:

• assembly of cabinet furniture;
• construction work;
• repair of some parts disconnected from electricity;
• installation of window openings.

The disadvantages of most battery models boil down to:

• the inability to tighten large self-tapping screws;
• lack of functionality associated with drilling.

The following tool samples can be used in all the listed works:

• with a straight classic handle, similar to that of ordinary manual screwdrivers;
• with a revolving handle - the shape is considered convenient for most jobs due to its small size;
• in the form of the letter T - a screwdriver, which is already considered professional, shock, among the advantages is the ability to work even with a discharged battery;
• transformer screwdrivers - they differ in the ability to change their appearance.

Bosch has long been the sales leader for household and professional tools. Products are used by both professional builders and installers and ordinary craftsmen. The latter have some embarrassing moments. For example, when the tool stops turning on, but this does not always mean its breakage.

You need to inspect:

• nutrition;
• the presence of a charge;
• power button.

Professionals diagnose the device with a multimeter, which allows you to determine:

• operability of contacts;
• engine;
• button elements.
