A screwdriver is a truly indispensable tool for those who are engaged in construction or simply decide to make repairs themselves. How to choose the best option among the many models on the market? Let's take a look at the main criteria for choosing a screwdriver, what types of this tool exist, and what are the functionalities. What models of cordless screwdrivers are worth paying attention to and what kind of screwdriver to buy.

What is a screwdriver and what is it for?
A screwdriver is considered a hand-held power tool that is designed to screw and unscrew screws, self-tapping screws and other fasteners. Due to its versatility, this equipment is used both in the household and in professional activities.
The main areas of application for screwdrivers:
- Professional work in the construction industry, during the installation of structures, repair of equipment, and the creation of complex projects.
- Home use is also possible. The screwdriver is useful for assembling furniture, making minor repairs, installing shelves and other household tasks.
Depending on your specific needs, the compact screwdriver can be used at home. Powerful and multifunctional models are suitable for professional tasks.
Which screwdriver to buy: types and models
Among the many models of screwdrivers, it is very important to find the one that best suits your needs. Cordless screwdrivers are considered the most convenient due to their mobility. They work without being tied to sockets, which allows them to be used anywhere. They are easy to transport, and there is a wide range of models with different capacities. Among the disadvantages are limited operating time due to battery capacity and dependence on battery charging, which is inconvenient during prolonged use.
When are cordless models suitable? When you need stable operation for a long time. Their power is greater than cordless models, and the price is affordable. For those who work in a workshop and have constant access to the mains, a cordless screwdriver is the perfect choice.
Brushless screwdrivers use modern motor technology without brushes. This significantly increases the efficiency and durability of the tool. The main advantages of brushless screwdrivers are:
- Long motor life;
- higher energy efficiency;
- less heat during operation;
- They are more compact and have a lighter body.
If you are looking for a modern yet reliable tool for regular use, brushless screwdrivers are the best choice.

Main features and functions of screwdrivers
Before buying a screwdriver, it is important to pay attention to its technical characteristics. The main parameters to consider include:
- The higher the torque, the more force the tool can apply to the fastener. For home use, models with a torque of up to 30 Nm are suitable, while for professional tasks, you should choose more powerful options - up to 50 Nm.
- Cordless screwdrivers are equipped with batteries with different capacities, which determines their battery life. For long-term operation, it is better to choose models with batteries with a capacity of 3-5 hours.
- Screwdrivers can have different types of chucks: quick-release (convenient for changing bits quickly) and classic turnkey. Consider compatibility with the bits you may need in the future.
Modern screwdrivers are equipped with features that make them easier to use. Pulse allows you to work with tight or rusted fasteners. Impact increases efficiency when working with hard materials. With multi-speed models, you can adjust the rotation speed to suit the type of work you are doing. The illumination of the working area is useful when working in low light conditions.
