Vessel 3-stage electric screwdriver. Japanese made. Premium gold coloured model which APPARENTLY is more powerful than the standard USB-C 3-speed screwdriver.
[Price increased slightly since restocked]
Comes with 6 bits also.
CamelCamelCamel.
2N max? Thats weak
You'd be breaking/torquing anything by hand anyway. The electric function is just for running in and out the screws.
My fav electric screw driver ever! Tempted to buy a second
same!
Nah, we are not the same.
I bought the second one without any hesitation.
Wondering what jobs is your first one capable to do?
I use one when tinkering with my guitars. Easy to zap in/out all the screws except for the big ones that hold the neck to the body. Time saver in a small form factor and is really useful for electronics or just in general around the house.
Apparently this one is secretly more powerful than the standard.
I rate their standard ball grip drivers, Vessel makes quality tools!
Ps. They often get discounted during prime day sales or Black Friday sales.
Special edition now, or better pricing soon? The Ozbargain dilemma :(
Good deal for 3 speed with USB-C charging and extra bits!
looks suspicious
You can get the body even cheaper here or two for 10% off https://www.amazon.com.au/Vessel-Electric-Charging-Maximum-2…
Thats single speed 3Nm this one is 3 speed
Good price I paid roughly this price for the standard version
My wife wants this
She wants to screw?
Maybe she just wants the ball grip?
Vessel Electric Ball Grip Screwdriver
My missus must be super handy because she's already got several
Multipurpose
great brand. I have one myself
I do a lot of prototyping and assembly at work and I reckon my standard 3 speed has easily gone through 10,000 fasteners and is still going strong.
As everyone's mentioned this is not something that's going to really drive in fasteners, it's going to be for running the threads. That being said, I've put a lot of manual torque through it when hand tightening/loosening and it's held up very very well. Great battery life, usb c, super ergonomic since I have bigger hands, only thing really beat up on it is the switch slider.
Also note, these have a 13mm chuck length on the vessel bits, this means if you use the standard 9mm bits that you probably already have, you'll have a little bit of play but it'll still be retained fine. I've just ended up buying every bit attachment they have in the kits you can find on Amazon when on sale. They've held up equally as well.
Will this one gets standard timber screw in a hardwood or not?
No
Use a real driver for that lol. Not this.
Impact driver, or even drill driver will do better than this powered screwdriver.
Excuse my inexperience in the ways of the powered screwdriver, but just looking for some practical insight….
I presume you seat the bit in the head of the screw and then push a button to start the little motor.
When the screw is driven in as far as you want, do you need to try and turn the driver off at the right time, or do you just pull it away from the screw head whilst it is still spinning and then turn it off at your leisure?
On a relative low torque driver like this one, it’ll simply stop spinning then you can switch it off.
On a drill driver with more torque you will have to use trigger control to avoid over torqing and damaging your furniture.
P/s: don’t try to pull out while spinning or you risk stripping the screwhead or damaging the bit.
Same as this one? Minus a few bits maybe?

Yeah specs look the same
How much is normal price ?
$100 odd
Japan using longer bits end shaft.
This is nice, been receiving emails for the standard 220USB-P1 on camelcamelcamel saving a few cents every day for months lol.
Worth noting that Vessel handles are made for Japanese hex bits! They will accept the ISO standard ones we have here, but there's a little bit of play because the ball indent is situated a little farther up the shank in the Japanese ones than ours. I've seen people put a small amount of rolled up tin foil to fill the gap, or even cut off a small bit of an old shank to use as a spacer to give it a more snug fit.
So if you do buy this, expect there to be a little bit of play in the bits, it's not a fault of the screwdriver itself but a slightly different Japanese standard. Even though the standard colour 220USB-P1 is around $55-$60 mark, given this comes with more bits it's a good deal
Vessel are great to use though, I use the interchangeable ball grip and it was strange at first but once you get used to it you realise there's a reason they haven't changed since the 80's
I recently downsized my screwdriver area in my toolbag to a couple vessel ball grips and a set of bits. Has saved a lot of weight and the ball grip just makes it a joy to torque screws or wind them without my hand creeping down the shaft.
I did the same thing. Got some cheap DeWalt bit cases from Ali (assume they're knock offs, but they are so good I wouldn't question it if I picked it up in store here) and a bunch of 100mm S2 hex bits in pretty much every size and config and it covers pretty well everything I've needed - need to get some Pozi bits still though.
Replaced almost all of my screwdriver set with that, still keep dedicated VDE's and the big PH3 though. We need more Vessel deals on here
I love Vessel screwdrivers. They are noticeably better than Kincrome.
hey @AngryAlfred can you link to a suitable and comprehensive bit set please? :)
Are all vessels made for the 13mm bits? So their standard one would have the same amount of play?
Saw thumbnail and read Japan…..must be a karaoke mic
FYI, It actually comes up as $56.43 at checkout if you have a Prime Business account as it subtracts the GST (being outside of AU??)
I didn't even realise there was Amazon business accounts. Cheers for the heads up!
I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it.
Tempted but I do like my Bosch drivers.
I'm a big fan of the Bosch, as I've mentioned in other deals in the past. (My use case is racking / unracking network equipment, switches, routers, etc).
I bought the Vessel a little while ago to try it out, it's a lovely piece of kit, but I'm afraid it didn't last long in my travel toolkit and I went back to the Bosch. For me, the push-to-activate feature on the Bosch is just too important when I'm using one hand to hold a switch in place and the other hand to hold the screwdriver .
agree with you on the racking and stacking network devices when using the bosch Go screw driver, push-to-activate has saved the day a few times for me lol.
Will have to give a hard pass on the vessel :(
This is not a driver, more of a light duty electric screw driver that sounds like works great for intended usage.
Yes a Screw"driver", for electronics.
Thanks, had the single speed S1 in my cart for a while at about $50 and this 3 speed with the bits has tipped me over the edge. I got a Bosch Go 3 a few months back and it's great when you need power but it's a bit much for easier stuff- not a fan of the form factor either. I have learned that I should have had a cordless screwdriver my whole life- a few years ago I learnt I should have had a decent ratcheting screwdriver too.
Ok someone is going to have to school me on this type of screwdriver design, as well as the brand. There seems to be excitement over this and I've never seem this before, so I'm curious.
Bottom line is this is much smaller and lighter than regular cordless drills and/or drivers and can fit into smaller spaces.
Handy for people having to install or remove multiple smaller screws for lighter duties.
Ball grip screwdrivers are good for doing lots of repetitive driving because it stays in the cup of your hand and doesn't slip/wander out like a shaft ended screwdriver.
Any tradies can use this stuff? ( sparky or havc etc)
Can't see any detail about insulated
Hey mate, I’m a fire alarm tech and use it in construction. A lot of people don’t realise how powerful these things are despite the specs. I drive walldogs into plasterboard all day every day for years and it doesn’t skip a beat. If you’re wanting 1000v rated you can get a resin bit, Annex make it. I wouldn’t say it’s tested in Aus but it’s an option. Or you can just run the Cresent 1000v rated bit holder.
These look good value as a possible optional add on if they fit?
https://www.amazon.com.au/Vessel-VESSEL-TsuyoshiAya-single-h…
is this OK for electronics, consoles etc?
I prefer manual or ratcheting screwdrivers for electronics, less chance of stripping.
Maybe worth while to get a precision screwdriver kit for electronic tasks, Vessel makes one ~$34 on Amazon, the Klein Tool precision kit is also very nice (~$35 when on sale).
finally! i missed out on the $60 translucent P1 Galaxy many moons ago… this is way better deal with the extra bits.
Just bought this for my Christmas present for my wife haha, cheers
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
