The Ultimate Wrenching Tool For RC Junkies: The DeWalt DCF680 Gyroscopic Screwdriver

It's no secret that I wrench... A LOT! In the past year especially, my business constructing large multirotors has allowed me the pleasure of building dozens of large drones, each comprised of a few hundred bolts each. This leads to lots and lots of wrench turning.

I've always been one to prefer a good ole fashioned hex driver hand tool, as I can control the speed quite easily, feel increased resistance to prevent cross-threading, and after 15 years of wrenching, let's just say my hand torque is well dialed in to knowing how tight is appropriate but won't break a bolt. It does take a bit longer but has always done the job for me.

So... when I came across this tool recently, I was so impressed that I had to share! I have been using this on all of my builds in the last few months and it is really holding up nicely and increasing my workflow.

Here is a completely unbiased review of the DeWalt DCF680 Cordless Screwdriver. Hope this can help you with your wrenching!
