That’s because Amazon has dropped the price of this Hoto screwdriver to just $29.99, which is 40% off the original price and a deal that you’ll find hard to beat. Ideal for hobbyists, the Hoto NEX O1 Pro is a personal favorite of at least three (soon to be four) Tom’s Hardware editors, and one that we’ve regularly recommended, even at higher prices.

This portable kit is perfect for any seriously small screws you might be dealing with. The 3.6V driver itself features a 1,500mAh battery that reportedly allows you to drive over 1,000 screws from a full charge. It uses USB-C for charging via the supplied cable, so no need to worry about finding some AA batteries, with a total charge taking just 150 minutes from start to finish.

It’s ultralight, too, weighing just 250g, with a tough plastic and TPE rubber casing that makes it easy to grip. The Hoto NEX O1 Pro is also fully adjustable, with three separate torque settings, along with a sensor that can quickly stop driving when you release control. The HOTO also features a circular LED that helps you get the job done, even in a dark environment, and is fully magnetic, so you won't lose any tiny screws along the way.

This particular set comes with a set of 12 bits, with a selection of Phillips, Torx, flat, hexagon, and Pozidriv head options included, all rated for 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. The bits are stored inside the included aluminium storage box, which you can also use to protect the Hoto driver when you’re not using it. You can also use any 1/4 inch bits with the NEX O1 Pro, from your sacrificial dollar store bits to those expensive Wera ones that you save for special occasions (or is that just me?)

A PC builder, 3D printing hobbyist, or simply a DIY enthusiast will also have space for a set like this one in their life. With the holidays coming, you’ll struggle to find a better price for Hoto’s original (and still very impressive) screwdriver set than this $29.99 sale price, so make sure to grab it before the price or stock runs out.
