hello everyone it's spawnpoiint and welcome back to another video
so if you're like me buying tools isn't that exciting
they're just practical items that you need to keep around the house to do the
odd job and the ones that you do own typically
speaking they all look the same they're bulky
they're heavy and they don't necessarily look all that nice and let's be honest
it's hard to get excited about a screwdriver
but this is probably one of the most aesthetic and forward-thinking
screwdrivers that i've ever seen well recently i received the new
crowd-funded electric screwdriver from fanttik
it's called the nex l1 pro and this thing is really really nice
it's the sort of tool that you'd keep in your desk drawer to use around the house
to complete those odd diy jobs inside the packaging it comes with a
hard case to store everything in and inside that case is the screwdriver
drill bits two inch extensions and a usb cable that's it it's pretty minimal and
the box is quite small too and as i mentioned this is the perfect
size for keeping in a drawer in your desk or in your kitchen
so there's no need to store in your garage or your shed but before i talk
about what the screwdriver is capable of let me jump in and show you how nice it
looks and this is what kind of sets it apart
from anything else i've owned or used before
so it's got a nice matte black design to it although it's officially called moon
grey which is plastic but it has a rubbery
grip on the handle too so it's really nice to hold
and you can see that the branding on it is really subtle too on the side
and there's also an orange coloring on the trigger so it was a nice pop of
color against the black body color so the design resembles a boomerang
which they say is ergonomic and it's designed to provide a fatigue
free experience and i'll be honest i've only used it for a short time
literally a couple of hours but it's really easy to use and i've had no
issues with it so far looking at the screwdriver itself is
pretty small and incredibly light so i've put the dimensions on the
screen now along with the weight and it easily fits in the palm of one
hand so it's very comfortable and easy to use
and this is how it looks compared to my electric drill which isn't actually that
big but it looks massive compared to this new electric
screwdriver and just for the sake of it i'm also comparing it to my iphone 11
pro max it's actually not far off the same size
so if apple made screwdrivers so what i really like about this
screwdriver is a digital display on the top so it has three purposes other than
making it so much easier to know what you're actually doing
so first up the battery indicator so at glance you can see whether the battery
is at 25 50 75 or 100 battery now this is a nice visual
indicator it removes the guessing or waiting until it dies halfway through a
task next the large number that you can see
here this is the torque speed that you're using
and this goes from one to six and the press of a button you can flick between
them so this is so much better than using the
dial on the front or the back to change the torque speed and it means you can
control how much power you want to use anywhere between 0.5 newton meters to 6
newton meters now between you and i that doesn't mean
a great deal it just means how much speed and how much power you need to use
on that screw these different speeds will depend on
what scenario you're using it in so for example setting one you might want to
use it for taking screws out of your laptop
three for putting a shelf together and number six would be used for drilling
screws into wood or general hardwood diy assembly
and finally this is pretty cool so it displays the direction of the
screwdriver typically you would twist or you would press a
physical button or lever to change the direction forwards and backwards but
here you just tap the button on the top and it will swap between forwards and
backwards digitally such a simple yet forward-thinking
design a great use of a visual indicator so this could be one of the most
impressive parts of this screwdriver for me
and that's the shark chuck now i'm used to using either a magnetic drill bit
which don't always stay in place when you need it to
or having to use a key to lock and unlock the bit which often means keeping
it nearby but check this out so to install a new
bit you just push it in and it clicks into place that's pretty
simple and once in it won't go anywhere you can pull it as much as you wish but
it's not coming out at all to release it though all you need to do
is pull the sleeve out and as it does this it unlocks and
it pushes the bit out again this is such a nice design and
really easy to use this is actually patented which i'm not
surprised about using the screwdriver is really easy
it feels effortless and the trigger has a stepless speed change
so what that means is you can control how fast or slow and how much power you
wish to use just by gently pulling the trigger it
also has an electronic brake and what that means is as soon as you
let off the trigger it will immediately stop
so you're not waiting for the head to spin down to come to a complete stop
the motor itself is an ultra small rare earth motor
now that means that it's the most powerful motor in its size
is 25 smaller 30 lighter but 30 percent more powerful
too now at the front there is a torch as well so it's got like a little led ring
torch not something i've ever owned on a drill before but funny enough something
i've always wanted it doesn't need switching on either so
as soon as you pull the trigger it automatically lights up
perfect for those dark spots like under my desk for example where i would
usually have my phone torch on trying to light up the area i'm drilling
or screwing so in the box it comes with 12
alloy steel bits much like you get with any starter kit to be honest but
what's different with this one is the drill bits actually slot into the case
itself now i can't decide if i like this design
or not so i'm used to putting the bits into a tray or a compartment that you
can remove from the case and take with you
but i guess it's one less thing to lose the battery is more than enough for
day-to-day tasks it's predicted to last for around 260
screws now i couldn't find how long that
equated to but i would guess maybe 30 to 40 minutes continuous use they say
standby will last for 12 months so as long as you've got some charge
it's unlikely to go flat when not in use it's also got fast charging capability
so it will charge the screwdriver in one and a half hours which again
is more than enough for most daily requirements now on to charging the
screwdriver which is pretty awesome too unlike other electric screwdrivers or
drills i've got this doesn't come with a massive
heavy plug that i've got to keep somewhere and a drawer in fear of losing
it it's just got a simple type-c usb type-c
cable which can be obviously plugged into any usb plug
so here i'm not even using the usb cable that it came with as i've always got a
type-c cable plugged in somewhere around the
house and that's it plugged it in and it's now charging cost wise well it's
currently only available as part of a crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo
and it varies in price depending on which version or pack that you go for
so this pack that i've got here is 80 but it does start at 40
and i think this is a great price for what you get now at the time of
recording this the campaign had a target of ten thousand dollars
but has already achieved 175 000 already that's massive and clearly it's a
popular product that's not even launched yet
there are two versions available of this screwdriver you've got the
nex l1 and then you've got the nex l1 pro the one that i'm showing you today
they both look very very similar they come in various different colors but the
main difference between the two is the five versus the six torque
settings so the pro goes up to six newton meters with a
non-pro that goes up to five newton meters and that's pretty much it
that's the only real difference so i went for the pro but i'll tell you
what i really like the non-pro version with the full black
without the orange accent so what do i think of the screwdriver well i really
like it i think it's different to what i've got
already it's one that i will just keep in my desk drawer for the odd job that i
need but i have to go out to the garage and i think it ticks every box when it
comes to an electric screwdriver it looks great it's efficient powerful
lightweight and it's practical but what else do you need from one i
mean it's competitively priced too for what you get
but what do you think would you buy something like this would you replace
your current tools for aesthetically pleasing ones i know i
would and it's kind of made me want to swap all of my tools for a similar style
now i've put a link in the description to the webpage where it's currently for
sale so keep an eye on it if you're
interested now just bear in mind i don't get any commission
