Jip only 39. In Roman times 39 was the absolute maximum lashes. Depending if the sentence was death.
They reckoned probably by trail and error that 40 lashes is enough to kill someone and if the 40th did not kill then they did not do it right...
40 – 1 = 39 Lashes | lovepeacetruth
Whatever
Mark, no I don't. I replaced the long tip with a shorter 50mm tip which is easier to line up and no problem. Honestly, I have tried the bigger Bosch and B&D type ones that others have said stripped threads, but they are way higher torques, and bigger and bulkier, this one feels ideal for photocopier work, the bulb shaped top cups nicely into the palm of your hand. If you crossthread a screw, which can happen even on a manual screwdriver, you can feel it straight away and just back out. Its only 2 nm torque. Honestly, I have found it indespencible since I got it. Have you never had times when you are starring at the back cover of a machine and thinking "oh God, I've got to get all this stuff off ! " ? Thats when this little beauty comes in handy.Do you experience the eliptical movement of a screw with your proposed e-screwdriver?
Re. Thread damage.
All previously bedded screws(and nuts) whether fixing wood,plastic,metal or diamond are wound backwards until they drop into the hole.
If if you want to cut another entirely different thread path into the same screw hole, then use any forced assisted torque driver to damage the previous thread.
Best method to find the start of any thread is to wind the screw,nut or bolt backwards until you feel it drop into the hole. Only start to wind forward when the thread has dropped into the hole.
Moral of the story...
Always start a thread one or two turns "FIRST" before using any torque driver to fix firm. This includes nuts driven onto studs and bolts using rattle guns or impact drivers.

Then ask yourself are you using the right screwdriver?
Whatever
Mark, yes, the original longer tip supplied with it is, the replacement shorter 50mm one I put on wasn't and I just magnetised it. On the link I posted, there is also a video clip but here is the direct link to the video. Personally, I wouldn't use it for driving woodscrews like the video, I don't think its got enough horse power, but found it ideal for the photocopier screws.@ Andy: is the bit magnetic?

When I got it a couple of months ago, I wanted a small and practical one to fit in a photocopier tech's toolbag, and to work well on the type of screws we drive. Personally, I ain't been dissapointed. This is a picture of it with the smaller tip, in the palm of my hand. Forgot to mention, the dark grey area of the handle is a soft rubberised grip material, feels nice in the hand.
