I have the black 3-speed Vessel and the red ''limited edition'' high speed Vessel for a while now, and they are great. Both of them have a wobble, not quite as bad as yours, but when you use them on screws you almost dont notice it. I use them 90% of the time as normal screw drivers, and thats why I love them. Therye just normal screw drivers in size, weight, and when you have a longer screw you slide the switch.

I have the sk11 version. I haven’t had it long but so far it works pretty well. It worked great on door knobs, light switch plates etc anything with loose metal threads. I’ve used it on some automotive stuff like #2 Philips and works ok. I’ve used it on screws in tight plastic inserts which have decent resistance and sometimes it runs it fine and some other times I might give it a quick break loose manually then run it the rest of the way with the motor. Just tinkering around the house I realized it could be very useful around the house for little projects and it’s much lighter than something like my Milwaukee m12 screw gun or my 18v drills.

It frustrates me a little as for years now there have been patents for really good solid bit retention collets, why Vessel couldnt just pay to use someone elses design or design something similar frustrates me. I mean the Premium is a step in the right direction but nobody likes play or wibble in their hand driver tools, especially when using multiple bits like an extension or adapter it just amplifies the play. Great Video Bzeug, first one Ive seen mention this new Vessel offering.

Vessel all day everyday. It’s still the only one that feels like a screwdriver in your hand.

The 4V craftsman deserves a spot amongst them. 300rpm
and from my experience, it seems to have a little more torque than the vessel. A plus too is that it's compact and will hold US standard bits and even 1" bits with ease.

Great video.
I've had the Panasonic but gave it away as it was too slow and weak, l also had the Earth Man and found it a little heavy but good until the chuck shaft snapped 😞

Nice screwdrivers, I have the bosch go 2, it's a little more powerful and uses a mechanical clutch. This one's are better on fine jobs.
I want to try the Dewalt gyroscopic screwdriver.

[aussiehardwood]

I'd been holding off on buying the electric ball grip, it just wasn't at a standard I'd expect from Vessel. The Premium is definitely a step in the right direction.

[chiffonkek]

It seems that the "premium" line are basically limited edition colors for existing products and there's no change in specs. I'll be getting the regular 3 Speed Vessel electric screwdriver soon and I'll report back if any problems with that.

Why do you think the vessel premium performed better than the modified P1 from a mechanical/ electrical perspective?

Between this video and trying to look for it at my 3 Lowe’s with no luck, I don’t think I’m interested in that skil anymore..

Thanks for sharing. Curious why you always test these at the “highest” torque setting considering these are lower torque devices? I for one am more interested in the lower speeds and torque specs as I work with plastics that can easily strip or melt. If I wanted high torque I’d be getting a 1/2” impact driver.

[louisd]

I beleive the SKIL has the most torque simply because it runs the slowest. The slower the speed, the more torque applied.

[martinblouin]

ah i'm always even more confused about which one i should buy with each new video 😅

[iidzvun]

Would love to see you take a look at the Hikoki/Metabo HPT one. It seems great, but I'm also a little skeptical given how old the design is. Glad I got recommended your channel!

[WhiteVaille]

Ayy! Was eagerly waiting for this after seeing your post on Instagram. Just starting the video now, but thank you, as always! I have a feeling this won't really change my opinion on which model to get (I think the Black one on the left at the start), but always curious to see new stuff.

[patrickcallahan]

If you haven't given the Miniware ES-15 a shot it is well worth it :)

[krattah]

It would indeed be interesting to know if you non-Premium Vessel was bad. (I assume they were both fully charged). The Japanese are not really know to lie outright on packaging - and if the Premium was meant to actually be better, why not advertise it? It might also be a generational improvement across the board, which at least would be slightly less likely to make it onto the packaging.

[muhammadasadkhan]

For electrical work around the house - which one u will recommend. ? One or two different types ?

[linkstale]

my vessel literally wont charge anymore and i used it only a handful of times. i keep thinking its cause i had a 65watt power brick connected to it but who knows
