Views
The Ermak trademark offers two types of screwdrivers.
- Mains powered... Such devices work only if there is a 220 volt outlet in the immediate vicinity of the place of work. On the one hand, this is not entirely convenient, since it is quite difficult to work with such a device on the street, and the cord often interferes, but on the other hand, you do not depend on the battery power and you do not need to spend time charging the battery.
- Battery operated... Cordless screwdrivers do not require a permanent connection to a power outlet. Such a device can be operated even where there is no electricity, simply by charging the battery in advance. The devices are manufactured with nickel-cadmium batteries with a capacity of up to 1.3 A * h or lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of up to 1.5 A * h.

How to use?
It is not difficult to use Ermak screwdrivers. Even a beginner can handle their operation. When working with a rechargeable model, you must first charge the battery. To do this, disconnect it from the device, insert the charger plug into a special hole and connect it to a 220 V outlet.
The first 2-3 times charging should be done within 5 hours, subsequent charging times should be at least 3 hours. There are no indicators that will show whether the battery is fully charged on the devices of this brand, so you should be guided by the time.
After the battery is charged, install it on the screwdriver. The device, which operates from the mains, is simply plugged into the socket.
Further, the operating instructions for the cordless and cordless screwdrivers are similar. We install the necessary nozzle in the cartridge, set the required revolutions (if your device is equipped with this function), remove the lock from the power button and perform the necessary manipulations.
Do not forget about safety when working with a screwdriver. Since the instrument is energized, do not use it with wet hands. Remember to lock the power button when transporting the instrument and changing bits. Do not overheat the device.
If you find any malfunction in the screwdriver, do not use it until the problem is corrected.
Clean the device from dust at the end of each use.... Remove the battery from the screwdriver during long-term storage.
Reviews
The reviews that buyers have left about this device are quite diverse. Many people talk about the rather good quality of the devices, which fully correspond to the price: the screwdriver is quite ergonomic, fits comfortably in the hand, and is not heavy.
But many people also say that nickel-cadmium batteries quickly fail, and it is rather difficult to find a replacement.
In the next video you will find a review of the Ermak DSHA-12 / LSDK1 Li-Ion drill-driver.
The screwdriver is good, but the problem with batteries is the memory effect. The instructions must indicate that it must be discharged to zero before charging.
The battery died after 2 years. Where can I buy it?
I believe that the screwdriver will be able to work from a 12 V battery from a car and from an 18 V power supply from a 220 V network - this is in case the battery is dead.
A lot of marriage is a low price, but money is down the drain.
The battery charge is enough for 8 wood screws. I regret buying.
Alice, which battery: Li-ion or Ni-Cd?
