Help!! Benchmark Twistor

Welcome to the forum, @SLeblanc

Is this a battery screwdriver? How long have you had it? Was it working last time you used it?

How can you hear the power getting through?

The information I found in this forum and online suggest it is very old.


I would buy a newer. more powerful driver, IMO...

thanks for the speedy response!
It is a battery screwdriver and it is very old, but it did work well.
I know the power is getting through because there is a “beep” when I change the direction of the drive and I can hear the mechanism turn (ever so slightly) inside. It’s as though something is stopping it from going.
Buying a new one is always an option, but the battery is great, all the bits are there, and I would much rather repair and reuse than add something to the landfill.

Is this one with a rotating head? I would see if that moves to allow the shaft to spin.

That is all I can suggest, unfortunately.....
