If you have small devices that are on the fritz \u2014 or in need of a slight modification \u2014 Hoto\u2019s Electric Precision Screwdriver ADV is great for DIY projects. Its size and power make it well-suited for tinkering with phones, laptops, and handheld gaming consoles, with its pen-style grip, simple one-button operation, and a tidy magnetic case with 25 S2 steel bits. It\u2019s not exactly ideal for putting together furniture, but it is handy for precision work, and it\u2019s currently matching its all-time low of $29.99 ($20 off) at Amazon<\/a> for Prime Big Deal Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, I\u2019ve made it my mission to bring my old devices \u2014 including a 35mm film camera<\/a> \u2014 back to life rather than letting them rot in a drawer, and Hoto\u2019s mini electric screwdriver makes doing that so much easier. The driver features a one-button operation and offers just enough torque for small screws, while its magnetized case ensures bits hold onto those flighty fasteners. The 25-piece set spans everything from Phillips to Torx to Pentalobe bits, providing what you need to work on small electronics. Plus, they all fit neatly into a rugged case, which features helpful labels for every component.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not much of a DIYer, the electric screwdriver is also great for taking apart kids\u2019 toys, which are always in need of new batteries (ask me how I know). Speaking of which, the 350mAh battery lasts roughly two hours and can be easily recharged via the USB-C port located on the rear.<\/p>\n

Hoto also has a handful of other gear on sale right now, including a laser measuring tool<\/a>, a cordless rotary tool<\/a>, and a cordless spin scrubber<\/a>. I\u2019ve got my eye on the Hoto Air Pump Pocket, though, which has returned to its all-time low of $41.99 ($21 off) at Amazon<\/a> and would be great to have for inflating tires and sports balls. Hoto\u2019s version features a rotating nozzle, making it easier to find the right angle, and adjustable air pressure ranging from 3 to 150 PSI. It\u2019s also about the size of a deck of cards, so you can easily throw it into a gear bag.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, you can grab the more robust Hoto 3.6V Electric Screwdriver Kit for $36.99 ($23 off) at Amazon<\/a>. If you\u2019re tackling small- or medium-sized repairs or putting together furniture, this kit fits the bill. The driver features three torque settings, a rotational speed of 220RPM, and an LED light for illuminating workspaces. Like the other Hoto screwdriver kit above, this one comes with 25 S2 steel bits, a carrying case, and an extension bar for accessing hard-to-reach places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you have small devices that are on the fritz \u2014 or in need of a slight modification…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[414,868,356,111,139,69,26506,370,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-64410","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-amazon","9":"tag-deals","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-prime-day","15":"tag-tech","16":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
