ES121 Motion Control Screwdriver

As Makers, we simply can’t help but get intrigued when new gadgets and doodads are presented to us, and this is the same for both big and small gadgets, as well as simple modifications to somewhat standard things that already love. This is what has inspired us to start stocking awesome gadgets like the ES121 Motion Control Screwdriver, which is “Smart Screwdriver” that has been designed with Makers in mind – offering a programming interface for personalisation, open-source firmware for custom upgrades, and even an integrated STM32 MCU to act as the main brains behind this fantastic tool.

The ES121 Motion Control Screwdriver was designed by the ever-famous Miniware, who also invented the world-renowned MiniDSO TS100 Soldering Iron, and has an integrated STM32 MCU with 3-axis gyro and 5 definable “Torque Classes”. These awesome features mean that you barely have to lift a finger anymore when tightening or loosening screws, and you can simply place the screwdriver bit into the screwhead, and utilise the onboard sensors and motors to do all the work for you.

The programmable torque classes also provide an extra benefit, in addition to pure convenience, as these classes can be defined for very specific applications. This helps to prevent the stripping of screws, while allowing you to quickly set up to five different torque levels without having to reprogram the tool.

Typical Applications for the ES121 Motion Control Screwdriver:

Within this ES121 Motion Control Screwdriver Kit, in addition to the actual screwdriver, you will also receive a fantastically wide range of bits as well, which allows you to utilise this screwdriver for almost any Screwdriving application you can image. These bits come in two distinct packs, with one pack of seven common bits, as well as another pack of seven uncommon bits.

With so many awesome features included with this ultra-fancy ES121 Motion Control Screwdriver,  you can rest assured that, no matter what flat, star, hex-head or other type of screw you’re presented with, you will be able to not only find the perfect bit for the application, but also do it with minimal effort – allowing you to do your projects faster, more efficiently and, of course, in a far more enjoyable manner than with a collection of standard Screwdrivers.
