Zenit ZSh-550 Profi (834613)

Decent "low-cost"

At first glance, it might seem that the only advantage of a Zenit handheld power tool is its low price. But the Zenit ZSh-550 Profi screwdriver has other advantages. Firstly, it is quite reliable and unpretentious. If you do not subject the tool to loads for which it is not designed, then this model will serve as an assistant to the home master for a long time. In addition, the screwdriver is well balanced. Thanks to the non-slip plastic body and rubber grips on the handle, it fits well in the hand, allowing you to work in any position.

Not a champion, but gets the job done

This model does not break records for torque (18 Nm is below average). But the torque adjustment clutch has as many as 23 positions (plus the drilling mode). This allows you to fine-tune the tool for driving screws and self-tapping screws into materials of various densities. By changing the force with which the finger presses the start button, you can gently and accurately adjust the rotation speed of the cartridge from zero to maximum (750 rpm).

Due to the fact that the screwdriver has only one speed, its capabilities, like a drill, are very limited. But seven hundred and fifty revolutions and eighteen newton metres is enough for low-speed drilling. For example, using this model, you can drill wooden planks for a picket fence or make holes in corrugated board.

For those who work slowly

The screwdriver has a tendency to overheat. Therefore, every 10 – 15 minutes of continuous work, it is worth giving the tool a rest for 5 – 10 minutes. And experienced users suggest that you need to make sure that your hands do not cover the ventilation grilles on the case. But such features should not scare away the home master who is looking for an inexpensive tool for not the most intensive work. But for professionals who demand the maximum from a screwdriver, you should pay attention to the products of DeWALT, Stanley or other brands of a higher class.
