Xiaomi WOWStick

Got this a couple of days ago... can you guess what tool is inside?

Hint: the box is held close by 4 magnets

Victoriniox glasses?

Victoriniox glasses?

My glasses have Ti-Flex frame... sadly, Victorinox is a bit on the conservative side when it comes to modern materials.

It's either some form of barware or calipers. I know my calipers are in a similar length, but wider plastic box.

Some sort of sharpening stone?

[Etherealicer]

Three more hints

- Its from a Chinese manufacturer...
- and make sure you are seated for the next hint... they have a pretty good name for quality stuff
- They also make smartphones

P.S.: Remember it is a tool, and it is so in the very traditional sense... I mean you could call a smartphone a tool too, but that is not how it is here.

Apple product?
Oh wait, that fails on quality

[Mechanickal]

That's something way to specific to guess...

Xiaomi WOWstick

This is a really cool gadget. Its meant to take electronic devices apart (Laptop and the like). I used it on a Mac Mini and it made the process easier and faster. The motor itself only delivers 3Nm, which is just enough for most screws you would find on electronic devices. Its also the right amount of force to fasten those screws again (so, no worry of destroying the device). In addition, if you need a bit more ooomph, you can simply use your muscle power. WOWstick uses the same barrel lock you would find in large drills, so if the engine is not turning, you can use it like a regular screwdriver.
Bonus, it illuminates your screw, which I found really handy.
At 20$ this is a cheap toy that comes with surprisingly high quality bits... I wonder if they are from Wiha too, seeing that Xiaomi and Wiha have had a collaboration on the other kit.

Hey... do those fit my Cybertools??

[Etherealicer]

Yes, they do... if you install a magnet

FYI, this is the 2xAAA version, there is also a rechargeable one, albeit that is more expensive.

I've got their bit set coming, it is not the electronic version just regular screwdriver but the bits are Wiha. It was the cheapest way for me to get Wiha products to my country.

[MTG]

Their chargers are very high quality.

ah, but I didn't want to spoil the fun to the others, that's why I tried to be cryptic... (I'm not sure how it went, though, English is not my native language). I could have hinted that my phone is from the same brand.

In any case I have had it, together with the other set you've shown later on, in my cart on one of the large chinese sites for some days now, trying to decide which one to go for, I've ended up buying them both after your thread. Thank you.

I understand it's not that strange around here, isn't it?

In a month time it will appear at my place, I'll give you an update then.

Cheers,
Danilo

I'm glad I could help you take a decision . And getting both IS THE MT.O WAY

Yup that's the one. The high praise for yours makes me want it even more. A pity that our customs are on strike, so it will take a while before I get it.

Having some difficulty finding the AAA version, only the rechargable one which has poor reviews. Do you have a link to the manufacturer?

I have it from DX.com, with some X-mas code (sorry, that one is no longer valid).

[danilo]

I ordered it from SPAMCORP, but it was 18 and something euros, now it is over 37 there...

[danilo]

ah it cannot be linked, it is a chinese site selling everything for a cheap.
Now xiaomi is a chinese brand, can we assume it is the real deal?

I find the box too heavy... but the contents are sweet.
