I started designing one in CAD and looking at parts to make a prototype
and I wanted to know, if it was a premium quality product, would anyone be interested.
I will post a picture of what I have designed so far a little later.

Please feel free to suggest additional features.

What kind of battery would it use? And would the motor and battery be replaceable?

No, nothing wrong with one from a company.that is.specialized, Dewalt, Makita etc. Amain would.just rebrand something, and Juraj would.have a three page long description of his Hudy Driver hahahah

Muchmore has one too. plenty enough for RC application

I am thinking a 3.7V 3000mAh (or greater) battery. Something like a SAMSUNG 18650 3000mah Max 15A INR18650-30Q li-ion Battery

I would expect all parts to be replaceable.

The Muchmore is also afordable

More choice is good, but market is covered well by many companies.

Easy exchangable battery would be ideal. No need to wait while charging. With the world of vapor smoking using these size batteries there are a lot of batteries, chargers and battery storage boxes to find.

Power tools are only good to strip threads, unless you build kits for a living I don't see how useful would it be.

I love my Craftsmen cordless. Comes with adj clutch and 2 speed gearbox. $60.00ish shipped


Pass you soon...

I make do with a Bosch Ixo V, it was like $40 and doesn't even have selectable speeds. $120 would be waaaaay too much.

It would need to be as small as the MuchMore driver and have all the bells and whistles you mention. Otherwise I wouldn't part with my Ryobi tek4 for it. But having mobility issues myself anything to aid in the wrenching process is a blessing so if it's doable I'd buy it

benben10

I have a ryobi tek4 as well but the newer models have removed a lot of the features. Everytime i go to Lowes or Home Depot i dont see anything that matches my old tek4. I was lucky to find a single extra Tek4 battery that was marked for clearance. I am aiming for something about the same diameter as the Muchmore just a little longer and with an adjustable elbow.

I hear ya man I actually still have a working tek4 that has the clutch system. And I got the newer tek4 that removed it. Both batteries work for either driver so now I have a spare for the old tek4 lol.

the 53L was the nice one. The newer one is a 54L. I left my old one in a customers apt. They are like,nope, never saw it.......liars.
My fault for leaving it there though.
But to answer the op's question, no way in heck would I spend that much for a hobby screwdriver. I have a Hitachi 12 volt combo driver and impact driver with 2 batteries and a case that was $99 on sale at Lowes.
