‘Tis the season for assemblies. With the holidays coming up, many will soon have their hands full with a bunch of new decorations and gifts to build. To take some pressure off, you can give Hoto’s electric screwdriver a try. It’s a perennial favorite in our various gift guides, and now you can get a whole kit with its magnetic carrying case and a 25-piece set of commonly used steel bits for $39.99 (50 percent off) at Amazon and Best Buy. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on the package so far.
The screwdriver is lightweight (8.8 ounces) and small enough to maneuver tight workspaces, such as the innards of a desktop PC chassis. You can use it in either manual mode or an electric mode with three distinct torque settings, allowing you to dial in the appropriate finesse and power for a wide range of jobs. There’s also an integrated LED light to help you line your screws up. Hoto says the battery lasts up to 800-plus screws, and you don’t need a proprietary charger to keep it going thanks to a USB-C charging port.
