The Best Electric Screwdriver for Handling Those ‘Right to Repair’ Jobs

The jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none is back in demand. Across the US, New York, California and other states have begun passing laws designed to make it easier to fix your own stuff as part of a sweeping “ right to repair” movement. Get into the DIY spirit with Skil’s Twist 2.0 rechargeable screwdriver ($40 for the 28-bit set), which is built to handle common tightening-up tasks with ease. The Twist won’t blow you away with its torque, but the articulating head can angle its way into awkward spots, making it suitable for delicate and demanding jobs.
