Tool Review: Vessel Rechargeable BALL GRIP Screwdriver

Q: How did the tool/equipment function as far as saving you time? 

A: It was a really handy tool. I was able to put it to work immediately. I could grab the driver and a 1/4” bit set and get going. It was comfortable to hold and fit in my front or back pocket while working without being bulky. 

Q: How has using this tool impacted your shop’s profitability?  

A: It is a quick little driver and has much more power than I expected it to have. Being able to switch bits out was always quick and easy even when my hands were slick or when the tool was covered in dirt. 

Q: What kind of setup was involved before using the product? 

A: I used the driver to remove the interior of a car that I’m parting out and I only had to turn it manually a few times. When I used it manually it worked great. It was easy to grip to loosen the fastener and then use the power to quickly remove it. It was also used to remove a few downspouts and then attach new ones. It had the power to run the pointed screws through the two pieces of metal about 20 times with no signs of slowing down. I feel it would’ve kept going but the job was finished. 

Q: How easy was it to use? 

A: Super easy! I let a couple other people try it along with my bit set and without needing any explanation they quickly figured out how it worked and loved it. My wife wants her own for her projects around the house. 

Q: How was its packaging? Did it come with any accessories? 

A: It was packaged very well. It was packaged in a way that it could be taken out without cutting the packaging to pieces. It could easily be put back together if you bought it as a gift and wanted to try it for yourself first. It came with one long #2 Phillips bit. The package has spaces to hold a total of five long driver bits which could be one reason for the high-quality packaging. 

Q: What features did you like? 

A: I really liked everything about it. The easy-to-operate locking chuck with soft grip handle was the perfect size. I guess one small feature is the “mainstream” charging port that makes it possible to get a new cord almost anywhere. Chances are you already have something that uses it. The dust cover for the port is important for dirty environments as well. The little LED light works great under a dash.

 Q: What types of jobs/repairs did you use this tool for?  

 A: I used it for some automotive interior work, gutter replacement, my wife used it to change a bunch of wall plates in the house. I also used it to drill some holes in some plastic and thin sheet metal just to see how it would do. I was not let down whatsoever.  

Q: How does this tool compare to other tools you’ve used like it?  

A: Other tools I’ve used are too bulky, heavy, weak, or don’t keep a charge as well as this does. 

Q: Is there any way you could think to improve or add to this tool? 

A: Serviceable battery. It would also be cool if it came with a little holster for your belt that would hold a few extra bits.
