It’s time to retire that rusty old screwdriver and treat yourself to an upgrade before your next PC build or DIY project. This pre-Black Friday deal on Hoto’s original mini electric precision screwdriver is an absolute steal at the moment, thanks to Amazon, scoring you a portable driver with a rechargeable battery and all kinds of goodies, and all for a record-low price.
That’s because Amazon has dropped the price of this Hoto screwdriver to just £29.98, a half-price saving that you’ll find hard to beat. Ideal for hobbyists, the Hoto NEX O1 Pro is a personal favorite of at least two 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.
A PC builder, 3D print hobbyist, or just a plain old DIYer will also have space for a set like this one in their lives. With the holidays coming, you’ll struggle to find a better price for Hoto’s original (and still very impressive) screwdriver set than this £29.98 sale price, so make sure to grab it before the price, or stock, runs out.
