As a tech enthusiast, I spend a lot of time screwing and unscrewing
hardware to walls and doors, plus building and rebuilding my PC on a regular basis.
I'm also the family handyman and often called upon to undertake odd jobs
around the house, which sometimes involves mounting various bits of furniture.
After years of putting it off, I was finally thinking about buying
an electric screwdriver to save time and also my aching wrist.
The gods of tech were clearly paying attention
because I received an email
from the online retailer Heck Income to check out the Show Me
Media cordless rechargeable screwdriver, which they sell on their website.
If you're a tech enthusiast, you should have equally cool
looking tools to compliment your hobby.
And the screwdriver fits the bill perfectly.
Heck, a dot com specializes
in electronics products, home appliances, fitness equipment, and fashion.
And by the end of the video, if you like the look of the Show Me Media screwdriver.

The first impressions
when unboxing the screwdriver is just how nicely packaged the unit is.
It comes in a very sleek box
that reminds me of every high end phone I've ever purchased.
The copy on the box is Chinese, but with the magic of Google lens scan
turns out that the screwdriver features a 3.6 volt motor.
It turns out five Newton meters of torque, which is more than enough
for a lot of tech and small DIY projects.
And I did surprised with the fact that the screwdriver comes with its own case
and has a padded recess for the screwdriver itself.
Plus, there's a very neat box of various different types of steel bits
along with a 60 millimeter extension rod for those hard to reach screws.
The screwdriver weighs a
solid 350 grams and feels good in the hand.
The body features a tactile hot
plastic and feels durable as well as looking kind of futuristic.
The motor is powered by a 20 year battery, which the specifications tell me
will handle 180 screws before needing to recharge via the USB cable.
At the front of the screwdriver
is a built in LCD light to help illuminate where you're working on the back of
the screwdriver is a switch which changes the drive rotation from forwards
to backwards depending on whether you're screwing or unscrewing hardware.
For the purposes of the review,
I decided to buy and install a Google Nesta thermostat for my mother in law.
Sweet.
The Show Me Media screwdriver made short
work of the fittings for the old thermostat.
Plus, I found I had an excuse to use the extension rod to reach a tricky screw
hiding underneath the temperature dial.
However unrelated to the screwdrivers performance, I discovered
that the Nest thermostat was incompatible with the baseboard heating in our house.
Undaunted, I decided to return the thermostat
and picked up a Google Nest hub, max, which I intend to use for future video
countertop spaces at a premium in our house.
So as part of the review
of the screwdriver, I mounted a floating shelf in our kitchen
once the guide holes drilled and the drywall toggle bolts were in place,
it was a very pleasant change to have the electric screwdriver
to finish the bracket mounting rather than doing it by hand.
What's more?
There was more than enough talk to fasten
the screws tightly without taxing the motor with power to spare
The screwdriver
also gave me an excuse to tackle another project I've been putting off.
As part of another feature video.
I was able to mount another as yet unannounced device to my garage.
Again, the screwdriver came to the rescue to alleviate arm fatigue.
I usually experience,
especially when mounting devices and lights to overhead surfaces.
It saved me a good few minutes of extra work too, which was awesome.
I've yet to perform a detailed test of the battery life specifications.
Say that a recharge in 2 hours using a five volt USB C input,
which is perfectly acceptable between projects for me personally.
Overall, I'm impressed with the show me media cordless rechargeable screwdriver.
It's a great price for the level of performance
compared to other brands on the market.
It's definitely powerful and durable enough for various projects
you might have.
However, what I like most about the screwdriver is the esthetic.
Sure,
you can find more workmanlike alternatives on the market in the same price bracket
but if you really want your tools to look
as cool as the tech, you're going to be using them on the show.
Me Media Cordless Rechargeable screwdriver is perfect.
