On the advice of a friend, I bought a RUSSIAN screwdriver

I am not only a builder, I am also a collector. Tools.

I especially like screwdrivers. I love to test them, check them, understand and compare. I bought an Interskol screwdriver from an inexpensive series a few months ago. Enjoyed. Now I'm ready to announce my verdict.

I wonder if anyone else bought one for themselves? Write how you like!

Having tested screwdriver INTERSKOL DA-13 / 18M2, I thought I could not help but share my review with you. In general, this is a very inexpensive tool that has shown itself only on the positive side. There are, of course, a couple of downsides. But there are very few of them, and I will talk about them at the end of the article.

I used this screwdriver most often in situations where the tool was required without a network. I screwed them hundreds of screws and self-tapping screws, and also drilled a huge number of holes of various diameters.

The instrument turned out to be very tenacious. Despite several drops from the table and stairs, even after a few months of use, it remained about the same as when it was purchased (except for some scratches). Although many other models become ineffective even after minor falls.

The first thing I noticed was convenience. The screwdriver is very easy and comfortable to hold in the hand thanks to the ergonomic body and comfortable handle with special rubber pads. Even with long drilling, the hand did not get numb and did not get tired.

Another plus is the easy process of changing the drill and bit, which is achieved thanks to the keyless chuck. Just one movement - and all the elements are replaced.

I recommend the screwdriver to those who often work with the tool at night. In instrument built-in additional bright illumination, which is easily activated using a button on the case. True, the backlight diodes are not very conveniently located. Part of the backlight beams at some positions of the screwdriver blinds the eyes. This is one of the downsides.

Another plus is a neat and long enough trigger stroke. This allows you to fine-tune the speed of revolutions.

With drills less than 4 mm, I recommend working a little more carefully, since the power of the tool is too high for these sizes. But the screwdriver drilled 12 mm holes in a brick or cement block easily. In this case, the engine of the tool practically did not heat up.

The only drawback that I noticed during operation is a weak battery. Over time, the charge of the tool begins to sink quickly. As a result, frequent battery replacement or additional recharging may be required.

On the other hand, the cost of the tool pays for the cost of the battery several times over. Therefore, this disadvantage is practically insignificant. To use the screwdriver for a long time and strongly, the battery discharges anyway more slowly than the additional battery is charged. Therefore, I personally have never had any downtime for recharging.

All in all, it is a very handy and versatile screwdriver that is suitable for home, garage, garden house and work. Therefore, I am definitely satisfied with my purchase! The price-quality ratio is perfect!
