Introductory
I have to start this story there that this is not the first time an article about Xiaomi’s screwdriver has been published by us. Years ago, I committed an assassination attempt on my brother-in-law and wrote the article with him.
How did this happen? So that my brother-in-law is repairing phones on a full-time basis and I was surprised with a set of screwdrivers, but I was required to write down his experience.
Well, then it turned out that the Wowstick set was not only and specifically suitable for DIY purposes, but certainly for work.
What has happened since then? The fact is that the machine unfortunately only lasted for 2 years, which means that it is used seven days a week and 6-8 hours a week. He handed in the key, but by then he had made himself so useful that his brother-in-law immediately bought another one because he could no longer live without it.
Now, after a few years, I have decided that I myself deserve such a package, so I surprised myself with it for Christmas. I do a lot of DIY, I’m already bored of having to constantly look for my different screwdrivers, so I bought one.
Now I have the stuff at my fingertips all the time, with lots of bits, a table holder, and I love it.
Packaging and accessories
In the first sentence of the article, I mention Jesus, and not by accident. I love unpacking gifts, I love boxes, the way better surprises come out in a row. Well, the Xiaomi WOWSTICK 1F + gives something similar.
From the showy box comes the smaller to larger boxes and pouches, and each has something interesting, showy, quality accessories. Let's see what they are!
On the top shelf is a flat pouch, something like the one in which we get the silicone back cover for the phones, only slightly larger. It hides a magnetic screw plate.
Below that is a stack of other boxes. One has the desktop holder, three the other has plenty of bits, one with a screwdriver. In another is a hard case reminiscent of a toothbrush holder, and in another is a trifle, such as a screw-holding bottle, a plastic reminiscent of a guitar pliers, a suction cup, a piece of plastic something, and a suction cup.
These all have a role to play, but we’ll talk about that in the next chapter!
What can we use it for?
Let's start with the magnetic bench. The benefits of this are far greater than the fact that the screws do not roll off it!
Anyone who has disassembled a notebook, for example, knows that there may be plenty of screws of different lengths and sizes in it. I always tried to put these on the table in a pattern so I would know later which one it came from. However, it happened that I accidentally pushed the table and it overwhelmed everything.
Well, the bench helps with that. It’s no coincidence that the square mesh layout is on it, I can put the screws on it in a pattern as they come out of the machine, and none of that will fall over. It can be an awful big help.
Nor is the guitar plucker for plucking a guitar, much more for cracking plastic covers with it. In phones, tablets, notebooks, plastic covers are often snapped together. Well, with this little triangle, we can snap them apart without damaging the plastic.
The role of the screw holder bottle may not need to be explained, if we can’t put together what we disassembled right away, we can put the screws in it.
The suction cup is most useful when replacing a display. By tapping on the glass, we can raise the display until the other hand releases the glue at the edges.
Again, the desk stand is not something to be explained. Beyond adjusting the screwdriver has no other role, so it doesn’t work as a charger, for example.
I wrote above that there is also a black piece of plastic in the package. Well, it has two roles, we can magnetize with it and we can eliminate the magnetism.
For example, we usually magnetize the screwdriver bit, in which case the unscrewed screw adheres nicely to the bit and can be lifted out with it. However, it may not be good if the head is magnetic, in which case we can also solve the demagnetization with this black column.
Again, the bits do not need to be explained, these are screwdriver bits that offer a solution for no less than 56 types of screw heads, and there are also some longer shanks with which we can unscrew deeper seated bolts.
There's one more thing left, the toothbrush holder, in which, of course, you can't take the screwdriver and a set of bits with you.
The box is made of hard plastic, the closure is magnetic. The magnet is strong enough that nothing can accidentally pop out of the package. And the shape, as you can see in the pictures, can even be said to be elegant
I left the screwdriver to the end.
It's something quite sensational! Inside the aluminum housing we find the carbon brushless motor, the battery, the gears, everything. It’s unbelievable that they could be stuffed into a thicker felt-tip pen size to deliver a very hard torque of up to 3 Nm at 200 rpm.
The battery can be fully charged in 40 minutes, with up to 8 hours of continuous operation on a single charge.
Of course, this is just paper, because the operating time also depends on what and what we use the screwdriver for. In addition, continuous operation would also presuppose that we screw it with it continuously, without stopping, which is not very typical.
If you use it at home, you probably won’t have to charge it too often, but even with normal work, there’s a good chance you’ll have to charge it once a day. Kingdom!
Anyway, charging is via USB, via a microUSB connector on the end of the Wowstick screwdriver.
Use and experience
In the case of articles, this chapter used to be the longest, but right now I don’t really know what to write.
The thing is, I love it the way it is. Incredibly comfortable to use, there was no screw that didn’t work out. Of course, the lawnmower obviously doesn't have to be disassembled with this, it wasn't entirely invented for that.
On the other hand, to install phones, tablets, computers, notebooks is first class. But not just these, but everything where there are a lot of screws and these screws are not too big. Modeling, droning, assembling home appliances, and I could go on until sunny.
I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I love the built-in lighting, which illuminates the area around the screw.
There is no problem with the bits yet. Of course, I've only been using it for a month now and not on a daily basis, but there's no sign of wear. I also hear this from my brother-in-law, who does not use it on a daily basis, but as I wrote above. So that's okay too!
So the point is! Here is a complete set, which we can get for less than 10 thousand forints, even with the usual crappy dollar / forint exchange rate. Not only for hobby purposes, but also as a work tool, it has everything you need for comfortable work. Maybe only one silicone pad is missing, but it can also be ordered from outside for pennies.
