I work in Field services level support for my local school district. I really liked the amir electric screwdriver until one day it just stopped working on me. im trying to find a way to repair it but it only cost me $22.00 from amazon. it lasted about a year. i will be ordering it again.
that is a 'wowstick' Mini, the lesser of the available wowstick models and is not really made for professional use, In fact the mini isn't even made by Xiaomi who made the original (and best) Wowstick models, Xiaomi sold the 'wowstick' name and rights to a company called Standmac, who then ran a kickstarter campaign to fund this 'wowstick' mini, as you have found it is a 'wowstick' in name only, and it really is inferior to the proper wowstick models. So if you want a proper wowstick buy the Xiaomi 1F+ or 1F pro, these are the ones to have and to use as a tech, buy one of those and stay away from this 'wowstick' mini, it is not made to the same standard as the originals
The problem are the bits. How do you know you have got the one you will need? The metal alloy is sturdy or will peen against sturdy screws. The tips are fine and the geometry precise?
Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm in the process of searching for a holly grail of electric repairman screwdriver. As I'm working with a tiny laptop and regular size 1/4" hex bits, do you know of any screwdriver which will cover both sizes? A lot of home appliances require a 10-15cm long hex or Philips drivers, so a Wowstick nor the AMIR will get me covered. Seems like the 1/4" narrow, elongated torx set might get to do the job. But then most 1/4" hex screwdrivers are really meant to drive screws in wood, and their torque is way too big for the job. An adjustable torque would be a welcomed addition. Do you know of any such device?
@@TimsComputerRepair Nice, glad to hear that it's holding up! Lol it's too bad I didn't see this last night, went ahead & ordered another one. All good tho, will keep it in mind in case I ever need it.
Sounds like the wow stick is using some not so wow plastic gears and components in there. 60 x 20 or 30 screws per laptop isn't a lot. I'd be sending it back.
I am a hobbiest and not builder/seller of PCs so perhaps my perspective is different, since the most I am doing is fixing an accquaintances' computer or replacing personal PC parts, but unless working on some computer building assembly line, never understood the need to use any power tools to assemble a computer.

@@St4rTr3v1Ut10n guess you either don't have many handyman tasks, or don't care to make those you do have, easier and go faster to complete in an efficient and precise manner.
I have exactly this screwdriver in a little bit different configuration (46 bits and a round charging stand, that can hold up to 10 bits) running in my little chain of repair shops for more than 2 years - up to now all of the 16 precision screwdrivers are working like in their 1st day. It's a fantastic tool with a sturdy build and absolutely capable for extended professional use. Not all Chinese products are garbage!

Mine is still working well.

Thanks for the info.
Comment busting to the extreme.. all information taken on board. Thank you very much for the heads-up.
Have a good one.
Ciao.
Would love to see a repair video for the wow stick. What came loose inside?
That may be coming. Thanks for commenting.
I have the amir, I’m a repair technician too. For the money. It’s a great additional tool
I will continue to put the AMIR to the test.

I swear by the ifix it kits
I got the same screwdriver
Not a bad screwdriver indeed.
what size bits do they use? I'm trying to find an extra long bit for tighter spaces
Just use a bit extender.
Great video, enjoyed it all the way through.
Glad you enjoyed it
The Precise electric screwdriver still work? Mine worked only for 20 laptops dissasembly.
Still going strong.
great video, i bought the aeromax ses pro, an that is a very weak srewdriver, max out at 0.2Nm, this one is almos as double as powerful up yo 0.35Nm
Mine is still going strong. Daily use.
So what's the update on the AMIR screwdriver? How has it fared after all this time?
Still doing well. Use it daily.

I use the E-Durable set
Do you recommend it ?
Great vid Tim. Wish I had Mod permission to remove non-Disney links from Comments.

Can you do a screen repair on hp laptop 14-cf0012dx

My thoughts exactly. Too late to send back. Thanks for commenting.
Can we have an 11 month update on the amir….
Still working well. I'll try and get a follow up video done.
An sich, sehr gut. AAAAABER! Aber Schrauben ohne Betrieb zu lösen, keine gute Idee. So haut man die Zähne vom Motor weg.
Thank buddy.😂🎉
I have it it’s good for light stuuff
Thanks for commenting.
Bought the same thing but got a free case with mine
Great!
Wowstick teardown and fix
That may be coming.

I use it mainly on laptops. Thanks for watching and commenting.
after 200 tiny screws in a row (well, somewhere in the middle of that), i started looking for one

@@St4rTr3v1Ut10n well you can tell you're a carpenter then!!! Because trust me, you tear down 10 or 15 computers in a day,. you will want one
Chinese tools aren't renowned for durability. But failing after opening 60 cases is a bit lame.
Thanks fore commenting.
waste of money
