Cordless screwdrivers are a real find for those who do not want to spend a lot of money on a full-fledged screwdriver and use a classic tool. The market has many different models that for a small price offer a set of good features and capabilities. What to choose in the end? You can, of course, buy something cheaper and regret your choice, or give preference to a trusted brand, for example, Interskol. Cordless screwdrivers of this company are very popular among buyers and not for nothing, because for modest money the user receives not only a high-quality tool, but also supports a domestic manufacturer.
In today's review, we will consider two of the most interesting models of the company that can be safely recommended for purchase. Let's get started!
Interskol OA-3.6
So, the first model that will be discussed is the Interskol OA-3.6 cordless screwdriver. This screwdriver is noteworthy in that it is inexpensive and at its price gives the user great opportunities for use.
Contents of delivery
The tool is sold in a small, branded plastic case in black. On the top cover flaunts a large company logo. In general, the manufacturer can be praised for the idea with the case, because, in this way, the tool is stored in one place with all the nozzles, which significantly reduces the likelihood of losing something.
Inside the case there is an interesting delivery kit, which is what it consists of: an instruction manual, a warranty card, an Interskol cordless screwdriver, a charger, an extension bit holder and 14 bits of different sizes.
Characteristics and Description
It looks like a screwdriver looks like a small gun. The case is made of plastic, and not bad, pleasant to the touch. The handle has a rubberized surface on one side for a more comfortable grip. It is difficult to find fault with the build quality, since all parts are tightly fitted to each other. There are only two control elements here - the “trigger button” and the rotation switch.
Now for the features. Battery voltage, that is, the voltage of the Interskol OA-3.6 cordless screwdriver is 3.6V (V). Battery capacity 1.3 A / h. Operating time from a full charge is about 3 hours.
The maximum idle speed at which the tool is running is 200 rpm. The torque is 3 Nm. The screwdriver has only one speed, but there is a reverse mode. The tool weighs only 350 g, which allows you to work with it without any effort.
If we talk about the possibilities, then the screwdriver can easily cope with self-tapping screws, screws, screws, etc., but only of small sizes, up to about the “six” size. If you take a larger size, then the instrument will be frankly "hard". Still, this is a screwdriver, not a screwdriver.
Reviews
User reviews about this screwdriver show that the tool turned out to be very good, but not without drawbacks. The first drawback is the long battery charge, which lasts more than three hours. The second drawback is a non-removable battery, because of which it is impossible to quickly replace a dead battery with a fully charged one. The third minus is the lack of a flexible shaft in the kit. And the last - the bad material of the rubber lining on the handle. Over time, the coating will peel off and simply turn into rags.
Interskol OA-3.6F (Home Master)
The second model on the list today is the Interskol OA-3.6F cordless screwdriver. In fact, this is an improved version of the previous screwdriver, which acquired a little more powerful features. It is worth noting that the improvement did not affect the final price, so the difference in cost between the two models is extremely small, which cannot but rejoice.
Equipment
A screwdriver is also sold in a small, branded, plastic case. The delivery package is approximately similar to the previous version, but still different, and for the better. So, inside there is: an instruction manual, a warranty card, an Interskol cordless screwdriver, a charger, an extension bit extension bit, an adapter for socket heads, a set of 8 socket heads, 6 bits 50 mm and a set of 24 bits 25 mm. It is worth noting that the equipment here is very generous, especially if you recall the price of the tool.
Specifications and Description
In appearance , the screwdriver is quite similar to the previous model, but still some differences are visible to the naked eye. For example, the dimensions of the tool became slightly smaller, which made it even more compact. The screwdriver handle is now fully rubberized for even better grip.
In addition, the cartridge has completely changed. In the previous model, it was designed only for bits that were fixed with a magnetic holder. The new cartridge is designed exclusively for hexagonal tooling. Drills or any other nozzles are fixed in it with the help of a special sleeve, which ensures reliable fastening. The cartridge also has 15 torque adjustment modes and a separate "installation" for drilling.
The innovation should include the presence of a lamp located at the bottom of the handle. There is even a separate switch for its operation.
As for the controls, in fact, they have not changed - all the same power button and rotation mode switch. By the way, about the latter, it is worth noting that now it works in three positions: clockwise rotation, rotation lock and reverse.
Well, the last thing worth mentioning is the rotary handle. In this model, a hinge is used that connects the main part of the screwdriver and the handle. Using a separate button on the top of the case, you can rotate the handle 180 degrees, which is also sometimes useful.
Now a little about the characteristics of the Interskol cordless screwdriver. It has one operating speed, the maximum speed is limited to 210 rpm, and the torque is 5 Nm. The battery voltage is 3.6V (V), the capacity is 1.3 A / h. Operating time from a full charge is approximately 3 hours, which is comparable to the previous model. The weight of the device also changed compared to the regular version of OA-3.6, now instead of 350 g, the instrument weighs 500 g.
If we talk about the possibilities, then they are about the same as the previous model, only slightly better. Especially helps the torque regulator, with which you can choose the appropriate value for twisting or unscrewing. Like the previous model, this screwdriver will be an excellent housekeeper if there is no screwdriver in the house.
