Dude what?! For real?!!! The amount of time, effort, and money put into this channel, this video, to review such a unique and niche product, mad respect! Probably the most underrated RUclips channel ever.
9:30 Wait... So what order are they in? You just put 3 models on the table and called them "1st, 2nd, 3rd". Are you going left to right? Your left or ours? Just want some clarification. Seems like the Roytoa won, but if so, that's even more confusing. Why is it in the middle? We were talking about this in our Production Crew live stream, and the general consensus was that you were going for an "olympic" layout, with 1st in the middle, 2nd on "our" left, and 3rd on "our" right.
lol, yeah I was going for Olympic pedestal ranking, I should probably add a pedestal. The middle is first Roytoa, second on the left Fanttik and third on the right XCOOl.
Awesome review, nice to see other Project Farm type channels with great video quality, honest down to earth and realistic reviews! And really nice find of the Roytoa. I usually ignore Amazon's recommendations, if not for you I'd have totally missed out on this one.
One thing I'd like to see is a quick test to see if they can charge from USB C chargers. I'm running into a lot of small brand electronics that have a USB C charge port but won't work with a USB C power source. They will only charge from USB A to USB C cables.
I'm a sucker for the Miniware motion controlled screwdrivers. I have the ES-15 and like the light as well as the ability to run the normal 4mm hex bits as well as the HIOS 4mm (804) bits which have some nice long options which are a bit hard to find even in HIOS, but well worth the search on aliexpress (looking for "800 4mm bit" should get you to general location on Aliexpress). I never did find long versions of the normal hex 4mm bits when looking but am well pleased with the 800 style bits I picked up. I think the newer ES-15S has a bigger battery primarilly but is quite similar overall.
I currently have the Fanttik E1 Max, and it has been great. I love being able to charge it without taking it out of the case, thanks to the USB-C port on the back of the unit. I have the iFixIt tool kit but wanted something electric that would fit right into my mini tool kit. Just like the Roytoa, I do wish the bottom of the inner bit holder was magnetic to stick to metal objects; that would have been the icing on the cake.
That is an impressively comprehensive suite of tests. I wish I had that data when I bought my Miniware ES15. This could be the canonical precision electric screwdriver video if the product selection was a bit broader. Let's hope Tools Tested get enough subs and likes to a go and buy a wider selection that does justice to building that test rig.
If Fanttik is a good brand for cordless drivers... there's the Fanttik S1 Pro 16-in-1 Multi-Bit Cordless Electric Screwdriver is on sale at Costco -$9.00 off till 12/25. This is a non-precision bit driver.
I’ve heard good things about the Vessel Ball Grip electric screwdrivers. Different form factor, but the standard “220 usb” model supposedly makes 2 Nm. Would love to see you test it.
Soleilwear is a good cordless screwdriver that I wish it was in your test, I've been impressed with its performance but my expectations mean nothing since it's my only mini screwdriver so far.
Hi, Great review! I have the Fanttik NEX E1 MAX, which I mainly use for all my electronics projects. Honestly, it’s good enough for my needs, but it’s definitely not designed for heavier applications. Perhaps a follow-up could include devices like: - CreationSpace CS0702A - Xiaomi Precision Electric Screwdriver - ARROWMAX M1 Pro - Miniware ES15S - check out StoneLab's review after 8 months of use; it might not be worth reviewing at such a high price. CreationSpace and ARROWMAX offer multiple models in their catalogs. By the way, the STREBITO ST017 is the same as the KAIWEETS ES21 and is also sold under the brand Galacok 68-in-1 Electric Precision Screwdriver Set, as well as likely under other less-known brands.
I’m not really interested in the torque on these as I am in how easy they are to control. In bigger electric screwdrivers I hate the models with no variable rpm. The on-off drive is not my favourite. Is it a factor in these as well?
Would be interested in seeing the Arrowmax M1 tested. I went with that one because it has a 7.4v battery unlike pretty much everything else on the market.
please add if the tool can charge with a usb c to usb c cable. Many times very low power small battery usb c devices will only work with a usb-a to usb-c cable. I always try to stay away from these usb-c devices that only work with a usb-a to usb-c cable.
All were charged using a C to C cable. Originally I thought that was the issue with the STREBITO but I tried using the A to C and it still wouldn't charge after I ran it down.

I appreciate the support, thanks! Yeah hopefully that changes in 2025!

Thanks! Yeah I almost didn't buy the Roytoa.
Keep doing what your doing and the subs will come. Every bit as comprehensive as Project Farm and his millions of subs. Thanks!
Thanks for the support! hopefully 2025 is the year!

I can confirm the Fanttik E1 Max does charge via a USB-C to C cable via my charge bank and wall plug.

I will have to check out the ES-15 in part 2, thanks for the info!

Yep it would have been nice if the base was magnetic.

I will add it to the list for a part 2! Yeah wish I could do more, hopefully the subs and views increase in 2025!

I plan on testing that one in about a month, hard to say without testing, but they seem to have build a decent brand name.

Yeah I need to test the Vessel at some point, it might make the next test for screw drivers.

Yeah it's about the same in these small ones, not much if any variation in the speed between modes and the drive button is off-on.
cs0702a , can anything beat it ?
Hard to say without testing.
I have a Klein precision screwdriver "hand-operated" set, and an Amazon Denali electric standard-sized bit set. Enough.
I hope to test the Denali at some point.
Would be interested in seeing the Arrowmax M1 tested. I went with that one because it has a 7.4v battery unlike pretty much everything else on the market.
I will add it to the list for part 2, interesting its 7.4v.
