I build computers and electronic devices. Do the torque settings go low enough to secure delicate components without damaging them?

Low torque settings would be fine with computers and electronic devices. I've used it with vinyl/plastic screws with now issues or stripping.

I have used it on my rig to remove & put back screws on the lid on my HTPC. I did set the torque setting at the lowest when tightinging the external screws to the case, so yes it's just perfect enough for PC cases & laptop screws if the screws are not deep in holes. It won't strip them I promise!!!

Maybe... I think a better option might be available from Panasonic. I was not able to use the Hitachi since the clutch failed shortly after I got it. I sent it back.

I've used the older version for years to assemble computers. Never stripped a single screw. Even on the lowest torque setting it will crack a plastic wall switch plate unless you are very careful.

YES!!! I work on copiers and use the lowest setting to reinstall control boards with no damage to the board at all. And that is using metal screws.

I don't have the exact torque measurement, but the lowest setting would probably work for very delicate components...I use it to drill tiny screws into plastic all the time with NO stripping whatsoever. I mostly use this for remote control cars and it works great on soft plastics and tiny screws. Hope this helps!

No just make sure the silicon is placed the right way and you tighten it when you close. that's pretty much it

Yes, just be very careful not to break any of the parts that you will be removing :)

I do it and have never had a problem. There is a command that you can probably Google that makes it safer, but I have never had a problem as I sometimes pull the battery to insert the CD drive and forget to do the command.

I don't think they are that strong since they keep detaching themselves, very annoying.I wouldn't worry about anything happening to electronics. Hope this helps.

You can have any number of connections as long as you stay a margin below the maximum current (for safety & reliability). So how good are you with a soldering iron or wire nuts???

The torque is only variable in the aspect that the speed is variable. There is no adjustment for strength. I am a professional technician and I use this at home. It does have a lot of power.

It's not a problem. CRT monitors are sensitive to magnets but most electronics are not.

I bought this without a light; this item does not have a great deal of torque which is great for my pc builds. I love this little driver. Sorry about the light issue; I would contact the seller.

yes it will work very well without damage if used properly and turning fan nut the proper direction. It will work with ease also.

The only time I've had any issues was driving into a knot I didn't see. It's pretty strong, so I've snapped a couple of screws right off that way. Otherwise, no, I feel like I have enough control not to overdrive fasteners with it. I've used it to drive star-head, square-head, and phillips-head screws, and I've used it to drive lag and carriage bolts as well. Never a problem or complaint.

It has to do with the ION Battery. To put it simply the battery maintains a higher power level to a certain point, than it turns off. It is designed that way so the battery will not drag down the tool you are using, So you'll have higher torque while doing your job and it is easier on your equipment. I hope this answers your question.

It would not require more torque to secure. It takes same amount of torque to loosen. This product prevents the development of conditions that would lead to using more torque later and/or seizing of bolt in position with possible breakage due to additional torque applied.

I keep a small (~4mm dia) neodymium magnet attached to the bit receptacle barrel; very strong so won't fling off, & magnetizes any bit inserted. Also helps keep any loose bit from falling out during vertical use.

As long as you use it on the lowest steam setting it shouldn't hurt anything.

There seems to be a little bit of magnetic pull but not much. I would take care when working with bits in tight spaces there is a chance that bits will pull out! It has happen to me so use with care. It also depends on the bit set you are using some are a tighter fit then others! So use accordingly.

What about tightening the bolt between pulleys 3 and 8 to keep them from twisting? I'm just thinking out loud here. I Use my machine almost daily and I really like it.
