    These are delicate machines, and the screw quality has decreased over the years, some screws just strip if you look at them funny.

    Electric screwdrivers are fantastic in the correct applications, copier tech work is not one of them
    Can you hand stop at 0 torque ?

      It's actually called humour IT geek.
      A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
      Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

        I can stop my screwdriver by hand on lowest torque (see pic previous post). Never stripped or damaged a screw. Have a magnetic bit holder on it.

          i'd never use one, been using a screwdriver for nearly 50 years now, find it easier to use my long handled magnetised philips screwdriver, though we did have a young lad who brought one into work, and tried to persuade me to get one.....we ended up having a contest, to see who was faster him with his electric screwdriver, or me with my trusty screwdriver - I beat him handsdown. We had to remove the high voltage board on a C368 biggrin.png

              The only time i found power drivers effective is when stripping units down . then i used a ryobi impact drill with a long jis tip, this was in a shop where i didn't care where the screws ended up.
