Is the Skil iXO2 Cordless Palm Size Lithium Screwdriver powerful enough for 1/10 scale electric vehicles such as Losi's and Associated's? Or do you recommend another Lithium based electric screwdriver?
Thanks

Its been great and given how bad my tendonitis is, it is used for everything I do. Its only been charged 4 or 5 times so the batt lasts a good long while. The big dig against this type is there's no clutch. Instead, I just pay attention and let off at the right time and twist the driver itself to give me the final torque I want.
Other popular one with my nitro buds is the $70-80 Hitachi that does have a clutch. Thats a little much IMHO and I've never really had any probs with the B&D driver stripping screws.
I use This power screwdriver. I got it on sale at Costco. I can't say I haven't stripped any, as when I first got it it stripped the plastic on a diff case. But it lasts a couple weeks. It seems as the cheap hex head rounds before the battery wears out.
I got this one, super strong I use it on my 1\8 all the time and my big driver was dead at the house and I got this one out to do some big wood screws into Oak and had to problems

I been using mine for 2 years and it is great for R/C. Has plenty of power and a charge lasts a long time.

Ive been thinking about using one of these for allen screws as well. Does anyone know if and where you can get the allen wrench ends for these drills??
OFNA makes a set, but after heavy use, mine rounded and started stripping allen heads. I have a bad case of tendonitis and do everything with a driver hence mine get a workout. The 1.5mm is the one thats always trouble.
I bought a set from Ed's Racing (his eBay store) - they're hardened and ground and look 1st rate. Just got them - 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3mm, with flat blade and phillips tips were $39. This was a set of 4 pcs with the 2 extra bits added as separate tips.

I use these and picked them up locally. I found a website that sells them though. I most use 2mm and 2.5mm. Definitely last well, but I never use them to tighten down a screw. I prefer to use my Losi hand tools for that.
