I really wanted to like this, but it's extremely underwhelming especially given the price.
The screwdriver itself works okay for small stuff. It doesn't really have any torque, but if you're only ever dealing with finger-tight, you should be OK.
The accessories (stand, case, mat, screws, vial, etc) are a joke. I feel like they're only included to justify the price. The stand is at least functional, but not very useful. The case magnets are stronger than their glue, so opening the case pulls the magnets out of their sockets. The case is also only big enough for the driver and one set of bits, making it too large for a pocket but too small as a case.
The bits are fine--nothing special but they are functional. The bit storage however is super frustrating. Not only does each "tube" hold a surprisingly small number of bits (12-16) but the tube inserts are rubber, so they fight removal and are hard to re-insert.
The charging cable is also maybe 4” long. I can't measure mine anymore because it went straight into the trash as useless. It's also USB-micro, which seems antiquated today.
Overall, it's an acceptable product completely hamstrung by crappy accessories. If the price was 30-50% less and just came with the driver, it would be a much more attractive package. I can't recommend this as-is. Find a good hand screwdriver with a large selection of 4mm bits in a good case, then add a powered driver (the wowstick isn't the only player anymore).
A web search seems to indicate this is made by Xiaomi. It has a rechargeable 3.7V battery, i.e. Li-ion. I've also seen the battery called "10400", though it is certainly too small to be a 10400 mAh battery, and the only battery I could find with model number 10400 is a NiMH battery. So its capacity is up in the air. It is recharged with a micro-USB connection; I assume this is in the end of the screwdriver, or under a cap, but I couldn't find a picture that shows this. Whether the battery is replaceable is unclear. The bits are all 4mm hex, similar to the ones sold by Wiha and others.
Does anyone know what kind of battery does this driver have and can it be changed easily?
Lithium-Ion battery that can be charged via the USB Mini B port on the bottom of the driver body.
