Model rating

There are several Interskol screwdrivers that are in great demand.

DA-13 / 18M3

It is worth considering the DA-13 / 18M3 screwdriver from Interskol, which is distinguished by excellent functionality, powerful engine and low price. Such a tool is not inferior to the best world analogues. In the model, lithium-ion chargers provide a voltage of 18 volts (capacity 1.6 A / h), which gives a chance to work with supporting structures for more than three hours. There are more than two dozen levels of self-tapping force, while the torque on the shaft is 37 Nm. This makes it possible to drill even dense wood, for example, oak, with a drill with a diameter of 26 mm, and make holes with a diameter of 12 mm in a metal plate. The maximum rotation speed is 1300 rpm, that is, the screwdriver can easily perform the functions of an electric drill.

This model has the following characteristics:

light weight (1.5 kg);
significant power;
fast charging;
economical energy consumption.

One battery lasts an entire working day. Among the shortcomings, we can mention the presence of a not very clear backlight. Another portable charger is included. This screwdriver has the following additions:

backlight;
two speeds;
cartridge with one sleeve (diameter - 1.49–12.9 mm);
Automatic blocking.

DA-12ER-02

A successful model is the DA-12ER-02 screwdriver. It costs about 3.5 thousand rubles, has a bright backlight. It is possible to work with such a unit in the darkest rooms without the presence of electric lighting. The kit contains several chargers (12 volts), each of which has a capacity of 1.31 Ah. The weight of the screwdriver is only one and a half kilograms.

All gears are metal, so the guaranteed service life is significant. And there is also a torque adjustment (12 Nm), in which there are 18 steps. The chuck can accommodate a drill up to 1 cm in diameter. This tool has useful features such as reverse and start button lock. Thanks to the electronic rotation control, working with such a unit is simple and comfortable. Unfortunately (and this is a drawback), rubber pads wear out quickly.

DSh-10 / 260E2

The DSh-10 / 260E2 screwdriver costs only 2.5 thousand rubles. The weight of the screwdriver is less than 1.5 kg, it is very compact and functional. For work in residential premises, such a unit is very convenient, because it can work both from the mains and from batteries. The engine is only 259 watts, the torque is 25.8 Nm. This machine is ideal for working with load-bearing elements made of soft materials. The chuck is functional, you can quickly change drills (from 0.85 mm to 1 cm). There is additionally a reverse and rotation control (electronic unit works). The unit can be used as a mixer. Of the shortcomings, one cannot fail to mention the presence of a slight backlash, which reduces the accuracy of work when drilling.

Variety of models

The manufacturers of the German company have been delighting their customers with quality products and a wide variety of choices for many years. Of course, many people complain about the rather high cost of tools, but Bosch knows what it is asking so much money for, because for more than one century the company has been a leader in many areas of production.

The most bought for several years has been the powerful Bosch GSB 180-LI 1.5Ah x2 Case double-sided screwdriver, which is suitable for any purpose. Its torque is 54 Nm, which contributes to equally excellent drilling in concrete, iron, wood. It is possible to drill holes with a diameter of 8 to 30 millimeters, and the bit rotation speed reaches 1700 rpm. The tool is equipped with a flashlight, a power lock button, and an electronic speed control. The engine power is 18 volts. The device is sold with a charger and a case.

The well-known model Bosch GSR 12-2 V 1.5AH X2 Case has a high power. This is a hammerless screwdriver that is equipped with an 18 volt Ni-Cd battery.The cartridge, the size of which is 10 millimeters, rotates at idle speed at a maximum speed of 1200 rpm. The model is suitable for all surfaces, creates holes with a diameter of 11 to 23 millimeters. From the reviews it follows that this model is ideal for home use, but for professional needs it can have many disadvantages. And also people note a rather long charging time - about three hours instead of the declared one hour.

The Bosch AdvancedImpact 18 QuickSnap is the first in the list of Bosch screwdrivers. It features high performance, excellent reversal, convenient illumination for the working area, stepless speed control and shaft locking function. The power of the tool is good news: the torque is 38 Nm, and the rotation speed reaches 1350 rpm. Thanks to the gearbox components, which are made of high quality metal, and special overload protectors, the device will serve you for a long time and faithfully. The device is equipped with an 18 volt Li-ion Power4ll battery, an automatic charger is included in the kit.

The owners of this model note that it is ideal for working in any area of space. The only drawback of this device is its cost. The price of Bosch AdvancedImpact 18 QuickSnap starts at 7 and can go up to 12 thousand rubles.

The Bosch PSR 1200 model is very popular among men and even women, which, with excellent performance, performs two main functions of a screwdriver: drilling holes and tightening fasteners in a domestic environment. With a voltage of 12 volts, its torque is 15 Nm, which is very convenient for simple household chores. Compact and lightweight, it allows people with different levels of experience with tools to handle themselves comfortably.

Features of cordless screwdrivers Interskol

All products of the manufacturer are of high quality and are characterized by a set of characteristics that determine the mode of operation of the tool and its purpose.

Screwdrivers can be household and professional. The differences between them are in the developed torque, as well as the resource of the engine and units designed for more or less long-term use.

Battery

In a cordless screwdriver, the power source is perhaps the most important part of the tool - it is it that gives the energy to spin the motor rotor.

According to the manufacturing technology, batteries in Interskol screwdrivers are divided into three types:

Nickel-cadmium. A well-known format that does not lose its popularity. Reason: the ability to work at low temperatures without a critical loss of capacity, high discharge and charge currents are permissible. This means that nickel-cadmium cells are good for heavy, short-term work. Unfortunately, the memory effect makes this type of battery very inconvenient to store during occasional use.
Nickel metal hydride. In some online sources, they are erroneously referred to as "hybrid". They simply have a different anode and cathode material, which made it possible to get rid of the loss of capacity due to incomplete discharge. True, the self-discharge in the rest mode is quite large. I am glad that you can recharge the battery before each use.
Li-ion. Interskol is massively converting its fleet of screwdrivers to this technology, following the example of world manufacturers. Its advantages are not only the ability to charge the device when needed and how much needed, but also the minimum self-discharge even during long-term storage. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries are the best suited for household models that the owners use occasionally, as needed. The only weak point - fire hazard - is leveled by control from the electronic filling.

The company's concern for the consumer, of course, is also expressed in the transition to a new universal battery platform. This means that to use various tools - a grinder, a hammer drill, a screwdriver - one set of batteries will be enough, which can be rearranged from one device to another. This will allow customers to save money if they already have Interskol batteries. Batteries can also be purchased separately if the old ones are worn out. Series L2 and L3 already use this system, as well as screwdrivers of the Home Master range. Batteries are available with two of the most popular supply voltages: 14.4 and 18 V.

Cartridge

Do you use Interskol tools?

Of course, never

Most Interskol screwdrivers have a quick-release chuck. It allows you to change the bit or drill without the need for a special key. The operator holds the outer rotary part of the chuck with one hand and pulls the trigger with the other. This is how the rig is clamped with three jaws. If it is necessary to extract the bit, then the same actions should be performed with the reverse turned on.

Expert opinion
Torsunov Pavel Maksimovich

The keyless chuck is very convenient for both home and professional use. An alternative is the hexagonal bit holder. The drill cannot be clamped like this, but when unscrewing the screws, you can apply maximum force without fear of slipping the equipment. In addition, this type of chuck is very compact, and with a certain skill, the bit can be changed even faster than in the quick-release.

Impact mode

The functionality of the screwdriver is added by the work in the impact mode.

There are two types of mechanism that provide fundamentally different shock patterns:

Longitudinal - the tooling, together with the chuck, makes progressive movements of an impact character thanks to two gear wheels that function on the principle of a ratchet mechanism and are located close to each other. When the rotor rotates, a blow is a slip of one wheel relative to the other by one tooth. This mode is justified in drilling, when the screwdriver performs the function of a drill.
Tangential - the blow does not follow the screwing axis, but perpendicular to it. Imagine slipping an open-end wrench over the head of a bolt and tapping the lever arm to lift the rusted bolt off and unscrew it. The tangential impact mechanism works in approximately the same way. Thanks to him, it is possible to work with the heaviest fasteners. And although there are not many percussion models in Interskol's assortment, the master will have plenty to choose from.

Specifications

Models from Interskol have good power and stable torque, which can reach 22–32 Nm. Such indicators are quite enough to screw self-tapping screws up to 6–8 mm in diameter in a matter of seconds, while the recess can be adjusted with a special lock. A special electronic element allows you to quickly change the rotation speed. Its maximum figure reaches 4100 rpm. Interskol power tool cases are made of aluminum alloys, which makes it possible to significantly increase the service life.

All screwdriver handles with special pads are designed to comply with the laws of ergonomics. The unit lies in the palm of your hand like a glove, being like a continuation of the hand. There are also special mounts that allow you to fix the screwdriver on a belt. A number of technical innovations were embodied in the products from Interskol, which ensured a steady demand for these units. For example, a large torque has been implemented in a DC engine.

At the same time, the speed of the gearbox and shaft rotation remained low. Such an elegant technical solution has eliminated the common problem of under-tightening screws.This innovation allowed the gearbox shaft itself not to negatively affect the landing bed, which is intended for the supports, while the high ergonomics remains constant. Interskol's products are inexpensive. In terms of cost, the power tool is comparable to the prices for Chinese products, while the quality of Russian assembly is much better.

All dynamic units are made of high-quality metal, including rolling bearings, gearboxes and sliding bearings. The torque of the Interskol drill-driver has a range from 24 to 46 Nm. The power is quite enough to not only tighten the self-tapping screws “to failure, but also to drill metal plates. Such technical characteristics significantly expand the scope of Interskol screwdrivers.
