--------------------------------------------------
CHARGING: USB Type-C
CABLE: 1 m USB cable supplied
Charge it from any USB source - a phone charger, a
laptop, a power bank.
No mains adapter, no transformer, no plug adapter,
no voltage question anywhere in the world.
Charge time from a 5V/1A port: approx. 1 hour 50
minutes.
--------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
--------------------------------------------------
It drives wood screws, which most pen drivers do not.
2.5 N·m under power, and 5.0 N·m by hand.
That second figure is the one that matters. The body is a straight cylinder,
so when the motor has run the screw down you keep turning by hand and apply
twice the torque - which is how a screw actually gets tightened.
110 screws per charge, on 4.2 x 32 mm wood screws, from a 3.7V 1,500 mAh
cell.
Three torque settings, so a small machine screw into plastic and a wood
screw into a pine batten are both possible without stripping one or
stalling on the other.
For flat-pack furniture, that is the specification that counts. Assembling a
wardrobe with a hand screwdriver is an afternoon; with this it is the time
it takes to read the instructions. Dismantling one - which is when people
find out what a screwdriver is worth - is faster still.
The cylindrical body can be held in one hand like a pen, or in two for more
control.
Magnetic 6.35 mm hex bit holder, so bits change with a pull.
LED light.
280 grams, 179 mm long.
Supplied with a No.2 Phillips bit (50 mm) and a 1 m USB cable.

Kyocera acquired. The tools carry the Kyocera name now; the engineering
lineage is RYOBI's.

IMPORTANT NOTES
--------------------------------------------------
IT IS A SCREWDRIVER, NOT A DRILL DRIVER
2.5 N·m drives screws. It does not drill holes, and it will not drive long
screws into hardwood.
IT DOES: flat-pack furniture, wood screws to
around 4 x 35 mm in softwood, machine screws,
wall fixings into plugs.
IT DOES NOT: drill, drive coach screws, or
replace a cordless drill driver.
For those, a drill driver is the tool.
DRILL A PILOT HOLE IN HARDWOOD
Any screwdriver of this size stalls in hardwood. A pilot hole drilled first
costs a minute and is the difference between the screw going in and the
screwdriver stopping.
USE THE HAND MODE FOR FINAL TIGHTENING
5.0 N·m by hand against 2.5 N·m powered. Run the screw down under power,
then finish by hand - which is also how you feel when the screw is home
rather than over-tightening it.
SET THE TORQUE FOR THE JOB
Three settings. Start low on anything going into chipboard or plastic -
flat-pack furniture in particular, where an over-driven screw pulls out of
the board and the panel is scrap.
USB-C - USE ANY CHARGER
A cable is supplied. Any USB-C charger or power bank works.
LITHIUM BATTERY - SHIPPING
Contains a built-in lithium-ion battery, declared and packed in accordance
with UN3481.
JAPANESE MODEL
Japanese retail packaging with a Japanese manual. Operation is a
forward/reverse switch and a torque selector.
