Reverse Engineering - Electric Hand-Screwdriver - Cedric Bernier

Introduction:

This reverse engineering project revolved around a Black&Decker Electrical Hand Screwdriver, shown in Figure 1. The processes in reverse engineering the screwdriver involved researching the tool's output specifications, disassembly of the tool, examination of its parts, and a kinematic analysis to determine the motor specifications necessary to provide the desired torque output of turning a screw.
