The Snapbloq line in Hoto is a set of three small electric tools intended for arms and hobbyists. The complete set consists of a screwdriver, a rotating tool and a drill, together with three cases for the tools and six cases of magnetic accessories to contain bits. The entire kit presents elegant and modern shapes that have become widespread in the world of technology today, without closures, vines and seams that reveal their manufactured and assembled nature. The package includes three tools (R-A04, D-A03 and S-A01) and has an $ 300 MSRP, although it is possible to buy each tool separately for $ 100.

All three tools have an external anodized aluminum housing with a plastic plate. They feel quite resistant, being able to resist the basic drops without any damage and weigh about 100 grams each. The handle areas have a straight training to improve the grip and the buttons are a flexible tire panel with small underlying switches. There are no seams surrounding the buttons in which dust or particles can become incorporated, useful for tools that will probably create small particles in the air.
Of the three, the electric screwdriver is the most convenient, practical and useful. For random arrmators, this tool does a quick job of most small screws inside and inside electronics. However, it is not designed for this, with only 0.5 meters of Newton couple, this device fought to loosen the screws even a little tight in my tests, and I was unable to make them even tight. I found myself regularly having to rotate the screwdriver (or differ from a standard screwdriver) for everything that required a little more strength to tighten or loosen. On the other hand, the relatively low power of this screwdriver meant that it was difficult to traverse, strip or damage the screws during use, which gave me tranquility. It is a convenient tool to have, but in the end, it must be integrated by a standard screwdriver.
