would this be safe to use for computer repair or should I get the small 3.6v impact driver as well to use just for computer repair

Seems a bit much for computer repairs only. I would think you would want something smaller and lighter. It would be safe as you can set the clutch so you wouldn't be stripping out screws. That said this is a great all around drill/driver that I use everyday and all day for installing blinds and drapes. I've driven screws from a 1/2" #4 to a 4" #12 without a problem. If it's as tough as previous versions this will last for years.

I use mine for industrial control wiring and have checked the torque output with calibrated equipment, the lowest setting for the clutch is about 3 inch/pounds. This it low enough for any desktop PC applications, however it is a bit high for the small screws on laptops. If you only need it for computer repair you may want to look an the Milwaukee 2101-22 M4 cordless screwdriver, however if you plan on using it as a general use drill driver the Bosch PS22 it hard to beat.

I do my own computer builds. This is way owerkill. It has a clutch, so you can adjust the power. If you carefull, you'll be OK. For my builds I use ryobi 3.6V, plenty of power for the task. The only thing I don't like about that one is that is one speed, meaning, it does not have button speed control. Bosch does. I don't think impact driver is safe for computer use, period, too much power and vibration, too easy to strip the screws or damage case nuts. My opinion only. Hope this helps.

It's the smallest and lightest of the drivers out there; i've used mine for delicate work with long shank bits, works fine.

I would say no, there is no torque adjustment. the 12v driver has torque adjustment, or the 3.6v...

Well first of all --- I do not know anything about computer repair like the size screws and fasteners. But seeming the size of computers I think this would be overkill with the torque ( even though it's adjustable with 20 settings) and the size of this PS22 drill / driver. Go smaller.

This adapter is rated for 90w, Your computer is 65w.. I am not sure if it would cause damage but I would probably say it is safe to not go with it. I would suggest doing a little research because as I remember there is not a 65w adapter and this may be your only option. I am sure you can find blogs discussing this topic. Sorry I can not give you a clear-cut answer.

I agree with GEEZERBUTLER.. who could recommend a powerful + compatible + cheap power supply for this computer?/ thanks

Idk. I think you might be asking to much of a voltage detector. Shouldn't rely on this for safety or for electronic motherboard applications. Best bet would be to get a multimeter to suit your application. Fluke always makes a great meter. Could go cheap but you get what you pay for

No this will destroy your computer. You need to have a 2.25A power supply and also need to match up your output voltage.

I'm not sure it's rated for impacts, but I've used it with my DeWalt 20V impact and seemed to do ok. Not usre how long it will last - but its not a lightweight product. I don't' see it failing soon, but only time will tell.

Can't say technically, but I also own the 18 volt impact driver and it does the heavy jobs easily where the 20v struggles.both will do the job, but I prefer the 18v when weight is not an issue and the 20v for up high work and of course in the tool belt it's so much lighter.and the light on it works amazing 5/5 in my book.

I think that is what it is designed for. when using other than PC tools you run the risk of having to use an adapter.

no. its not nearly strong enough to cause electronics damage. Successfully used this set to work on large HDDs. no issues.

Probably not. You would need an larger type of impact driver. This is a fairly small unit.

i wouldnt. my son purchased it and when he plugged it in the computer blew. it fried his mother board.

I recomend you go to the Internet and verify the model number of the one for you laptop. That way you get the correct one, using an incorrect one will damage your laptop.

Looking at the buffer driver chip on this board (www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/uln2803a.pdf), it should work with 3-5v. Please check the specs yourself to confirm.

yes, but they are often defective and can damage your computer. go with a corsair supply or higher grade evga supply

I would say, in general, stay away from it. It caused my external drive to malfunction; and it didn't cause a significant power boost anyway.

It is a click type, but honestly if you put it at 6v it will likely power the deivce you are looking to power. Unless of course it has a moter in which case it may cause the moter to strain a bit.

Yes 12V WILL damage it, as it is rated for 5.2 volts DC. But avoid this unit, and seek another manufacturer....as you should note that along with my review, others have experienced the same failure in that it works for about 2-3 months and then goes into a total fail and you end up with a color bar generator....and NO picture. Avoid this garbage.
