How to choose a cordless screwdriver for home

Girls! Who has shura at home? No, this is not a man. This is such a thing, like a fat gun. By the way, very useful in the household. No doubt, Shuriki, which are men, are also sometimes useful. But I mean the screwdriver. How is it why? Fasten the shelf, hang the sconce, the mixer is broken ... An intelligent woman will always find a good technique.

Therefore, today the question on the agenda is how to choose a cordless screwdriver for the house? Why not network? Because the network - this is from the outlet. You can't go far with him. And you never know where you need to go with a screwdriver in your purse? Yes, and the leg extension will entangle, scratch out, scratch the instrument ... It will be more agile with the battery. We understand.

What is important to us when choosing a screwdriver? See the list:

• Weight
• Convenience
• Battery charge
• Torque and their ilk
• Number of speeds
• Other nuances

The boys now everything is clear. And the girls will understand the course of the play. In order to clearly operate the store with smart phrases and shock the knowledge of the sellers. And do not stupidly clap eyes, while the consultant pushes you an expensive, but not a suitable tool.

To keep the toes off

For this we will look at the weight of the cordless screwdriver. So what if you do not build a house! Maybe you want a hundred screws screwed! You never know what your plan. All the same, you will not wear much heavy. Muscles just pump up.

The most optimal shurik weight is up to 2.5 kg. More than 3 kg - drop it if, then your fingers will not be easy. Neighbors stutter begin to stutter. Less than 1.5 kg - rather weak. It is necessary also to apply own rather big effort to twist a screw.

No doubt, a heavy tool practically does all the work. The owner's hand only directs him without pressure. But you do not have to drill titanium plates at home? Maximum assemble furniture, fasten a sheet of drywall or hang sconces. For this purpose, average-weight household models will fit perfectly.

To keep it comfortable in hand

We look at ergonomics. Girls may be interested in design, but a cordless screwdriver that matches the color of a housecoat is not sold in any store. Therefore, we look at the convenience.

It is desirable that the handle was 4 grooves under the fingers, and the handle itself is rubberized. For plastic will easily slip out of hand. Another point is the convenient location of the on-off button. On some models, it is located so that inadvertently touches a finger. This is completely inconvenient, and in some cases traumatic.

Be sure to evaluate the location of the ventilation holes. Agree, it is not very pleasant to work when dust or small debris flies into your face. And on the handle should not be sharp corners. Otherwise, corns in three minutes of work are provided.

By the way, some consultants in the store talk about beautiful lining an exotic look on the body. Allegedly, they protect the cordless screwdriver in the fall. Pfe two times! Only the body and they protect. And the insides during the fall perfectly damaged. So do not overpay for an unnecessary device.

To work long

Shuriki different battery charge. In masculine language, this is called capacity. Naturally, the bigger it is, the better. This will allow longer use of the tool without recharging. Basically, 1.3 Ah is enough for personal use at home. If you choose the number 2, or even 3, then get ready to lay out a decent amount. But are such expenses justified for occasional home use?

Another difference is power. But with cordless tools, it depends on the voltage of the battery. In principle, for Madame use, the number 12B will suffice. Well, a gentleman's tool must have at least the number 18B.

By the way, be sure to check with the seller whether the charger and spare battery are included. Some dishonest dealers are silent about the complete set.

And further. Modern chargers allow you to fully charge the battery in an hour. Choose this model, it saves electricity well. Plus, some batteries have an indication of the level of charge. In principle, its presence is not particularly important for high-quality home use.But if there is an opportunity to buy, then let it be.

In order not to burn the screwdriver

In the technical performance of any drills or screwdrivers there is such a value as torque. This is a specific force with which the tool twists the screws or drills the surface. We will not go into physical details, just give approximate figures.

For example, if the instruction is a figure from 20 to 30 Nm, then feel free to buy. This is absolutely normal for a household appliance. Numbers above 50 Nm mean that this cordless screwdriver is classified as professional. Why the hell are you at home?

By the way, such models have the ability to do more than 2000 revolutions per minute. Thousands are enough for us.

And further. There is always a limiter on a good screwdriver. It looks like a plastic ring attached behind a chuck. Very useful gizmo. For example, if you are afraid of tightening the screw too deep. Or, with excessive effort, the engine begins to warm up. Again, a bit less wear.

That is, you can safely press the start button, but more than necessary, the cartridge will not spin.And the engine will not be overloaded from excessive efforts. Therefore, it will last longer. In this case, the more steps the installation of torque on the limiter, the better. They should be at least 14-16. Then you can replace with a single cordless screwdriver a whole set of screwdrivers and a power drill at the same time. And how much space is saved, freed from suitcases and boxes with screwdrivers and drills of different diameters!

If possible, ask the seller to demonstrate the tool in work. Let it screw at least one screw. And listen to the engine yourself. If the load changes the sound, but smooth, without jumps, then everything is in order. You should be alerted by harsh sounds or intermittent engine operation. Just do not get fooled by the words of the seller about the discharged battery. Choose a different model, do not risk your money and nerves.

But the words that this is the work of a pulsed mode, should tip the scales in the direction of purchase. Because this feature is great facilitates the work. Especially when drilling hard surfaces or unscrewing a screw with a broken slot. But again, the sound should be smooth, smooth, without wheezing, squeaking, etc.

To perform several types of work

Today, most models of shurikov for home have two speeds. The first is for screwing in screws, the second is for drilling surfaces. No more need, tea is not a construction worker working.

We are more interested in another function. This is the reverse. That is, the reverse. It is necessary for accurate pulling out of the stuck drill. Or incorrectly screw a screw, not there. How to take out back? And here is the reverse.

Another plus sign is the strike function. Take note of it if you are considering in the future to drill a brick or concrete wall. Significantly simplifies the task of listening to neighborly conversations. Otherwise, why make a hole in the wall?

The type of cartridge also matters. The girl is more suitable fast-lock. There is no need to twist anything with a special key, check the balance and directness of the installation. In this case, such a cartridge can clamp the majority of bits and drills of decent diameter. And even a whisk from a broken mixer, when it rests at an inopportune hour, and you do not want to whip the cream or dough with your hands.

In principle, now models with key cartridges are produced a little. This is the last century.But you can try to get into it. Do you want to save 500 rubles on the cartridge and spend 5000 on damaged nerves? Buy key. You will get some more, shoving the drill bit smoothly. Although, if hands grow from where it is necessary, then why not?

Some useful tips

Coming to the store for a cordless screwdriver, first of all take it from the seller and try on your hand. Is it comfortable? So now let the consultant try you about his merits. And then they praise the instrument, and you even embarrass him. Why get a stream of unnecessary information?

Pay attention to the backlight function. By the way, remember, at the beginning we were puzzled, why should a girl in a screwdriver in her purse? So, without illumination - absolutely no need. Suddenly have to go on a dark alley? In order not to attract the attention of robbers, shining a phone on the road, light your way with a cordless screwdriver! Similarly, no villain will not work when you notice such things in your hands. But seriously, the backlight is needed to work in hard-lit places. Therefore, choose models with such a function.

Do not buy shurik unknown firms.Better take a well-established brand. Let a little more expensive, but the producers have eaten a dog on the release of such tools. Yes, and in any price range you can find the perfect model for yourself. So not the fact that overpay.

The best price-quality ratio in Makita. Interskol is also not bad, but often their tool is cumbersome and ugly. Hilty for home use once a year - a luxury. No doubt, the road is rich-quality. But why overpay, when for such a price you can buy a couple of Makit? By the way, about Bosch for a long time did not come across positive reviews, for some reason, completely negative. Although the choice will still be yours. Suddenly, all the flaws outweigh "oh, what a pretty!". Yes, the female gender - they just choose the tools.

Girls, ask the seller of knowledge, what gears inside the coveted shurik! Plastic filling budget, but the metal - more reliable and durable. Do not know, did not understand? Go to another consultant or even to another store. The seller must know your product from all sides.

Choose the maximum configuration.In addition to the case or bag, it is desirable that the set includes:

1. Charger. Separately, it is more expensive to purchase and can not be found on sale.
2. A set of bits and nozzles. Now there are so many varieties of screws that you are tortured to run, to look for the right one.
3. Extra battery. Allows you to continue to work when the first sat down and there is no time to charge.
4. Instructions. No matter how you force in the store, and at home you still have to figure out what's what. And well, if you do not need to use the warranty card or your medical policy.
