Key Features

Adaptive torque control with real-time feedback
Integrated LED and sensor for screw condition analysis
Multiple impact modes (hammer, twist, combination)
Bluetooth connectivity for app-based diagnostics and tutorials

Target Users: Field technicians and mechanics in automotive repair, home services, and construction who frequently encounter seized or stripped screws.
