World's First AI Electric Screwdriver With Eyes And Brain

No more guesswork! The AI screwdriver reads the screw, lights the right bit, and locks in safe torque – Unlock a new way of working.

See the screw. The right bit lights up.

Trained on tens of thousands of real repair moments — the veteran's eye, now in your hand.

S1 – The AI precision screwdriver that identifies screws and finds the right bit.

We brought industrial-grade visual recognition to a precision screwdriver. It identifies screw types and sizes by sight, automatically sets a safe torque range, and the matching storage case lights up to show the exact correct bit. It doesn’t just add power to a screwdriver — it redefines the entire workflow.

Why We Built S1

When One Wrong Bit Ruins the Screw

The screw head strips, and removing it becomes another problem. A five-minute repair becomes a ruined device.

Tiny Screws, Hard to Even See.

Glasses, drones, laptops, and game consoles all use tiny screws. Some are smaller than a grain of rice. They can be difficult to see clearly, let alone identify.

You see the shape. Not the spec.

PH000 or PH00? T5 or T6? The bit is labeled, but the screw usually isn’t. You try one bit, then another, hoping to find the right fit.

Then you can’t find the right bit.

Many cases store bits sideways, so you can see the shaft but not the tip. With a rotating case, you may have to turn it several times to find the right bit.

S1 is designed to address these issues.

Repair veterans don't guess — years of work taught their eyes to read a screw at a glance. That knowledge was never printed on the screw. So we trained S1 on tens of thousands of real-world photos. It makes sure the bit in your hand is the right one.

How S1 Works

Smart Scan, Instant Guidance

Hold the camera squarely over the screw, and AI does the reading — instantly identifying the exact drive type and size, no manual selection needed. The result is sent to the Smart Case: the screw profile appears on screen, the matching bit slot lights up, and the right bit practically finds you.

Physical focus probe – accuracy built on physics, not just software

Tiny screws leave zero room for blurriness. Even 1mm off distance, the image blurs and recognition fails. A precision contact probe on the rear of the screwdriver rests on the screw surface and locks the camera at an exact, fixed working distance. Every shot is consistently sharp, every read is accurate. It’s a physical solution to a physical problem.

Four steps to find the right bit — done in an instant.

Companion Mobile app

customizable precision

When you require a consistent and precise torque during your work, you can utilize the S1 mobile app to customize the torque settings for each of the four modes. You have the flexibility to adjust the torque from 1 to 10 kgf·cm according to your preferences.

Full Visual Transparency

The app also shows the actual image captured by the rear HD camera — along with the recognized drive type, size, and the recommended bit. You see exactly what S1 sees — no black box, no hidden guesswork.

S1 Smart Case

Smart case with TFT display & lighted bit guidance –  no digging, no guesswork.

Even if you guess the size right, you still have to dig through the case and compare bits one by one. The more bits you own, the longer it takes.

S1’s matching smart storage case features a built-in TFT color display with our signature purple UI, delivering clear, at-a-glance status. Once the screw is identified, the case also lights up the exact slot for the correct bit with built-in LED indicators. Users reach right for it, instantly — no rummaging, no comparing, no workflow interruption.

The smooth, frictionless feel of the full workflow is something you have to experience first-hand to truly appreciate.

S1’s matching smart case features a precision CNC-machined frame crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. The premium metal build delivers a solid, refined hand feel and stands up to frequent daily use on the workbench.

Human-centered Industrial Design

We balanced an ergonomic grip, compact form factor, and clean minimalist aesthetic across both the screwdriver.

AI handles the identification and guidance, but the hand and the control still belong to you. It preserves the tactile feel of manual work while removing the guesswork that makes repairs go wrong. Every interaction is designed to feel intuitive.

Precision Power For Real Creators

Engineered for fast, responsive performance, delivering 1–10 kgf·cm of electric torque — placing it among the most powerful precision electric screwdrivers in its size class. It’s built for RC builders, scale model makers, electronics repair technicians, and hardware enthusiasts who demand reliable, repeatable precision.

OLED Status Display

Real-time torque level, rotation direction, and battery status at a glance. Dynamic screen updates as you work.

Auto Torque Assist & Safe Torque

Auto Torque Assist is enabled by default, starting first-time users off with a conservative, reliable torque baseline. In Auto mode, S1 matches the preset safe torque to the exact screw identified, protecting both the fastener and workpiece from over-torque damage in most scenarios. It also remembers your last used torque setting.

Since safe torque also depends on the fastener, material, and application, always verify the setting and follow the manufacturer's specifications.

S1 Angle Screw

Same Precision, New Angle

Its all-steel gear train carries 10 kgf·cm of torque cleanly through 90°, with no wobble and no cam-out. One click to attach, and it gets into every spot a straight bit can't reach. Available separately as an optional accessory.

More Power

USB-C Super Fast Charging

S1 supports fast Type-C charging — with a compatible power source, a full charge takes approximately 70 minutes. This fast charging capability can minimize downtime and keep you productive and focused. During the charging process, the OLED screen will display dynamic icons to provide real-time feedback and visual cues about the charging progress.

Automatic And Manual Operation Design

S1 features patented dual-mode technology: it automatically switches to manual mode when the electric mode lacks sufficient torque. The mechanical structure is rated for up to 30 kgf·cm of manual torque (manual rating, not the electric output torque) — simply twist for extra force when you need it.

52-Piece S2 Steel Bits

S1 is equipped with a set of 52 bits made of S2 steel, with a remarkable overall hardness of HRC60, covering common precision-repair applications. The extended bits expand the range of applications, allowing you to even work with screws in deep holes.

Magnetic Bit Holder

The magnetic bit holder keeps compatible bits securely seated during installation and removal, ensuring efficient installation and preventing them from easily falling off while working with the screws.
