ELECOM will release the TL-EPD24, a USB rechargeable electric precision screwdriver set that lets you tighten and loosen screws at the press of a button, in early July[1]. It ships with 24 types of bits, including Phillips, Torx, and Y-type, and handles fine work such as disassembling and repairing laptops, game consoles, and smartphones[1]. The price is open, with a typical street price of 4,998 yen[1].
A Pen-Shaped Body Operated by Buttons
The body has a pen shape, and power on/off as well as tightening and loosening are controlled with buttons[1]. The rotation switch lets you choose between forward (tighten) and reverse (loosen), and it only runs while the button is held down[1]. That makes it easy to stop at the spot you want, a useful trait for delicate work.
It also has a built-in LED light that illuminates dim, shadowed areas around screws so you can keep an eye on your hands while working[1]. If left untouched for about 8 minutes, it powers off automatically, helping to prevent battery drain from forgetting to switch it off[1].
24 Bits Cover a Wide Range of Screws
The included bits come in 24 types: Phillips, flathead, Torx, Torx (with hole), hex, Y-type, star, triangle, square, U-type, MID, and SIM[1]. Each bit is attached simply by inserting it into the recess at the driver tip, and removed just by pulling it out[1].
The intended uses include disassembling laptops, game controllers, game consoles, smartphones, audio equipment, eyeglasses, cameras, and toys[1]. Because bits for special screws are included, it is handy for maintaining various precision devices[1]. On the other hand, ELECOM notes that it is not suited for tasks that require strong force, such as drilling into wood or driving thick wood screws and long screws[1].
Torque Control to Prevent Overtightening
Tightening strength (torque) can be switched between two levels: in forward rotation, Low is 0.15 N·m and High is 0.3 N·m[1]. The rotation speed is 150 rpm for Low and 210 rpm for High[1]. When the motor is subjected to a load above a certain threshold, it stops automatically, so it also stops the moment a screw is fully tightened, preventing overtightening[1].
It is powered by a built-in lithium-ion battery and charges via a USB Type-C port[1]. Charging takes about 75 minutes, and the no-load operating time is roughly 90 minutes on Low and 60 minutes on High[2]. Note that no charging cable is included, so you need to supply one separately[1]. The body measures about 17 mm in diameter and 180 mm in length and weighs about 65 g (excluding bits), fitting into an easy-to-hold pen size[2].
Easy Storage and Pricing
The bits are kept together in a holder so they do not scatter, and they store neatly in the case along with the main unit[1]. The bit types are printed on the side of the case and on the bit holder, so you can quickly find the bit you need[1]. The case measures about 210 mm wide, 100 mm deep, and 30 mm high[1].
The model number is TL-EPD24, and the price is open, with a typical street price of 4,998 yen (4,544 yen excluding tax)[1].
