Hoto’s new PixelDrive electric screwdriver is on sale for the first time
TL;DR
Hoto's PixelDrive electric screwdriver is on sale for the first time at Amazon for $59.99, offering adjustable torque, a pixel display, and USB-C charging for home repairs.
You may not have heard of Hoto, but as my colleague Sean Hollister pointed out in his recent profile, the company is quickly becoming a household name thanks to its penchant for high-quality design. Hoto’s new PixelDrive electric screwdriver is a great example of what the company is capable of, and right now it’s on sale for the first time at Amazon, where you can snag it for $59.99 ($20 off).
Despite its small size, the cordless PixelDrive delivers an adjustable 0.5–6Nm of torque, which is strong enough for assembling electronics, putting together furniture, and handling most small home repairs. It also offers several useful features, like a unique built-in pixelated display that lets you check battery life and see which of the six torque levels you’re using at a glance. A single multi-function button lets you change direction, switch to an 80RPM precision mode for delicate tasks, or boost up to 200RPM with one finger.
Meanwhile, Hoto even included a built-in LED ring light at the tip for clearer visibility while working, helpful if you’re reaching into a dark cabinet or reaching behind a TV stand. The screwdriver also charges via USB-C and comes with a 2000mAh battery, giving you enough power to get through a wide range of home repairs before it dies. Rounding things out, Hoto includes a cylinder accessory that snaps into three sections and can store up to 30 bits.
