Today we’ll take a closer look at the new product in our catalog - an automatic manipulator (screwdriver, yes) Xiaomi Wowstick 1fs. An element of style, or an excellent working tool?
Despite the loud name in the catalogue, the box with the screwdriver is not marked with company logos. This is because it was made to order at a third-party enterprise, and apparently is an experiment in something unknown to Xiaomi market sectors.
This product is the brainchild of another Chinese startup starting its activities with the help of Xiaomi. What is so amazingly startup-fashionable about this WOWStick?
First of all, organization and style. The screwdriver is packed in a non-marking case made of matte plastic. I assure you, I am not the only one who has never seen such cases for tools.
No hinges, no fragile fasteners - the two halves of the plastic case are attached to each other using magnets. You can open it with one hand, but the strength of the magnets will not allow the box to fall apart even in a crowded backpack. Inside she hides the minimum necessary set: six bits, a screwdriver body (a housing with a motor) and a small extension cord.
The bits are: large and small cross (PH000 and PH1), a pair of flat ones (T3 and T6) and a pair of asterisks (SL1.5 and SL 3.0). The largest number of required bits is covered.
The planned gift set of a couple of dozen different-sized attachments has not yet entered the Russian market. And why? Ordinary bits from almost any miniature set are perfect for it. Well, you can make the case yourself.
The fastening of the bits is magnetic, quite strong - it twists without breaking. But the effort is only enough to disassemble small devices. Goes well with a MacBook, right? In addition, the screwdriver performs well even without a motor engaged, exclusively in mechanical lever operation.
Switching on is carried out using a swing - screw it up, screw it down - unscrew it.
During operation, a weak ring light turns on. It doesn’t hurt your eyes, it shines exclusively on the place of work.
To change the battery, you need to unscrew the top cover.
For error-free installation, the polarity is indicated directly on the housing.
The batteries use 2 batteries or AAA batteries. The developers claim that this is enough for 8 hours.
The grip of the tool is comfortable. A little thicker than a good pen, but can be held like a pen if desired. I have always dreamed of such a grip when manipulating electronics.
A great souvenir. And may he not have time to arrive by February 23rd. It is better to show a screenshot of the order for this excellent screwdriver than to give nonsense gifts that are unnecessary in the household. In addition, at the moment there is a coupon on WOWStick 1fs WowstickS — with it the price will be only $33.99!
