I was told that the 3-speed was "updated for the US market and is compatible with US bits". All of my conversations since NHS have been with the Japanese manufacturer and language is sometimes a slight barrier, so take that for what it's worth. You can tell if one of these is for the US market as the power switch will be blue.

I have used Vessel screw drivers for over 35 years. I worked for a Japanese owned company, doing maintenance work. These are great quality tools and designed to feel good in your hand. The ball design allows comfort during prolonged use such as terminal tightening electrical panels . .
I bought a red 3 torque setting USBC Vessel screwdriver while in Japan in January, which comes with an interesting customer service story.
The 220-USB model came in many different promo colors in Japan and I bought it from a truly giant big box type store. I bought a bunch of hand tools from there, and headed back to my in-laws place to find they accidentally charged me for 2 of the Vessel powered screwdrivers. I did not notice in store because we bought a bunch of stuff and we were in a hurry to catch a bus.
Not knowing how this would be handled, my in-laws called the store to complain about the overcharge, because the store was in a neighboring city and would require a subway and bus ride to get back to resolve. The store manager apologized and sent an employee to hand deliver a refund in cash right to their condo room door - more than 40 minutes away!
Can you imagine a Home Depot employee (or any store in the US) taking a bus and train to hand deliver a refund 40+ minutes away? I'd be surprised if they provided a refund at all.
FYI, the store was called Keiyo D2 and was quite huge and impressively large place to visit, especially for Japanese hand tools, but they had all sorts of stuff, lumber, appliances, power tools, household items, and a 100 yen store.
I'm happy to hear about your experience with the tool. And the company that you delt with. I'm looking for a tool such as this.
You mentioned "can you imagine Home Depot " doing something like this. Well actually I can. I retired from Home Depot four years ago. I worked for the company for 33 years. Let me say, that I'm not speaking on their behalf. I have to say that. I retired as a District Sales Manager. To answer your question, if a Home Depot would bring a refund to a customer at their home. This day in time if a Manager were send any employee to a customer's home, the short answer is yes they would, it would be an assistant manager. In the past it may've been a lower ranking employee. However during this day and time. It's going to be a Salaried employee. For lots of reasons. But quite frankly if it was a simple refund they may be able to just refund the transaction to their card, it would depend on the circumstances and amount.
The point is, my experiences with the company go so far beyond this sort of simple issue.
I know that you may think I'm being overly sensitive. But I just have to say. That the company and the employees are like my family. They don't always live up to our expectations. But they're still family. If I could go back to work with them. I would in a minute. Unfortunately my body isn't willing to participate.
I'm glad the other company took good care of you.
I asume your in-laws owen the store.
@@cwb8047 I assume your name is Home Depot.
@@michaelkawasaki4764 You seem to make poor assumptions by your 2 comments here. I would surprised if a single viewer of this channel would ever be in that particular suburb of Japan to go to that store, making me the worst shill ever. I put the details in my comment just in case.
I’ve been wanting their electric screwdriver! I love my vessel tools. Now that it’s type c I’m getting it!
Self-tapping sheet metal screws, and machine screw test, as well as wood screws! 😊
Interesting collection of drivers. Take care. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
I purchased the high torque version last week. I've been using it for a week and love it!👍🏼
My favorite screw driver was the Easy driver a simple ball headed ratcheting driver I bought in the mid 80’s. It had a Phillips on one side of the shaft and slot on the other no bits to lose, until I was married and my wife threw it away thinking it was broken, not knowing you had to switch the shaft too the other side of the ball😢 I was able too find the larger one with interchangeable bits from Prat and Read as Orchard Supply was going out of business but nobody seems too make this type anymore. I still had the wife though 😂the electric one intrigues me.
okay ya talked me into it! the three speed with type c looks like the way to go.
Yep, I just ordered that too!
I was given a black and decker pencil style screwdriver ( had to purchase replacement batterys for it) I use it all the time on my RC cars. If you have old hands with arthritis setting in, the power screw driver is priceless. That style wouldn't work for me because of the size of the ball. I seldom use the angle feature on my driver, but it is there if needed.
That’s similar to what my dad used for over a decade repairing small engines after being diagnosed with tennis elbow and tendinitis from turning screwdrivers and pulling starter ropes. I decided I don’t want to repeat his path myself
The 3 speed is $2 more than the standard? All righty. I don't need it, but they do look handy.
I feel for you about 5 years ago I had the same was in icu for 6 days very serious stuff, hope you heal soon
I just bought the Bauer mini screwdriver a few months ago and love it
These screw driver look very nice. Love the grip on it. Love very well build. Thank you red for the video today!
I’ve been using vessel for many years. I have the original version that’s been extremely good for the last several years and recently upgraded to the 3-speed imported from Japan. It’s been just as good and much more powerful. I also have 3 sets of the MegaDora/Tang Through drivers for many years and they don’t have equal. I sold all my Snap-On screwdrivers about a month after getting my vessels. I’ve also used the quarter drive bits for many years with almost no wear over that time.
Vessel is in the top 3 best when it comes to anything screwdriver/bit driver in my bit. Made in Japan is always a win.
Great review and looking forward to more Japanese tools in the future. Shine on!
I'm not sure it's something I'd get much use out of but your review was excellent as usual, Jeff, and I thank you! Get rested up and healed up and come back better than ever!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
These are great from what ive seen. as for applications i've seen these being great for automotive interior screws and panels.
Waooo , otra ves comprar nuevo juguete. Aya vamos otra ves a Amazon !!! Saludos de lima 🇵🇪
We use these at my winter job at a printing press. Nice stuff
They need to release a usb c version of the high speed.
The over-molding on the old version looks better than the new one.
When testing them, even if they can't drive the screw in, use another tool to finish driving them in then see if the Vessel screw driver can remove them.
I've owned a few Vessel screwdrivers for years. I obtained the electric screwdriver version about 5 years ago and I use it often.
Very high quality tools. I might look into the 3 speed driver.
5yrs on the same battery?
I have the vessel impacta’s ans the 30 piece impact ball bit set and I love them. I’d buy more of their products
I may look into the 3 speed, I recently got a manual driver that has an adjustable shaft and uses the 1/4" adapter so I can jump between my manual driver and my Drill/screw gun/impact gun. Coupling this with the Hercules 100 piece bit set and impact rated bit holder and it covers almost everything I need for work. This driver isn't the bulky ones I have seen in the past so this might be the way to go for a powered hand driver.
C'mon dude. Reading to us us boring. Thumbs up. Thanks for the info.
Usbc might have pushed me over the impulse buy edge but not today
I could see a definite use case for a Breakaway lanyard if you were on ladders a lot. I would hate to drop one of those screwdrivers 10 feet to a concrete floor.
After using dewalts screwdriver with variable speed I’m spoiled. Wish some other companies would follow suit!
Send a couple to the guys over at the torque test channel!
Good day Jeff
All of my screwdrivers are cordless. In fact, they all feature forward and reverse and they’re even variable speed…
I bet they are universal right hand/left hand application also... but yours will lead to much faster hand and finger fatigue 😮
@@tuberstitiousYa know, you’re correct! I never gave it much thought, but my dad is “wrong handed” and he’s able to use my screwdrivers without issue.
I would like to see a variable speed version where simply pushing the sliding switch increases the speed faster the more you slide it or further down you push it. I don’t like having to stop and switch speeds and a lot of the time it is necessary to start a screw slowly so you don’t cross thread it. Instead of three or four different versions one well made variable driver then offer bit sets and a hard case as accessories.
I bought one because the internet told me that a ball driver would be life changing.....I didn't like it and sent it back. It's the form factor for me. Don't care if it's electric or not. Just felt big and clunky despite what everyone says. Personal opinion.
I had a girl friend with some of these under her bed, I guess she knew her tools well 🤧
The risk of hernia is real. "Incisional hernia" is what they call it. The hernia develops along the line of a previous incision which creates a weakness in the muscle wall. I just had one fixed. Caused by an incision from a previous hernia surgery six months earlier.
Hello again, Jeff and Mrs. Bear 🐻
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Questions for you. 1) How long does a charge last? And 2) how long to recharge the screwdriver?
I'd like to see how much torque they have.
Back in the 90's I think, Black and Decker and others had electric rechargeable screwdrivers. Didn't really catch on, they worked fine, but using a regular screwdriver was just as easy. I have no interest in this. Now those compact high power rechargeable impact guns, those fill a real need.
I am 68 and have to change door knows on rental properties where the long screws are a real pain. My electric drill/ driver works but the weight and chuck make it cumbersome. I think this might be of value for someone like me whose body is falling apart.😢
Door knobs... stinking auto correct doesn't read my brain any better than I read my wife's...
Super handy for electronics, PCs, electrical panels/boxes. Its a smart guy screw driver. I can see why you're not interested. I have one of those black and deckers running on lithium.
Today I think micro usb should be and probably is a deal breaker.
I would disagree. Yes, USB C is More common now but I would expect Micro USB for tools that way I can phase out the micro USB in a useful way. As the cables die out I can phase out micro USB tools for USB C tools. They have shown that they are transitioning to USB C but I'm sure they want to use the existing stock first. I found this with a keyboard that I use for work my original was micro USB and the recent one I bought uses USB C. I realized when I went to recharge it even though I reordered from the original link.
I take it that the 3 speed is electronically controlled, via PWM, and not via a gearbox, as the listed torques go up with speed. Might be nice to see a hobby tachometer on the full up video to see speeds loaded vs unloaded. From the sound they are all brushed (no brushless whine) motors ?
Are they locked when you are not depressing the button, so you can use extra torque by hand?
Yes
Been using the old style for 6ish years and the new one for at least 2 years ordered az jp. They sure are handy but when you get the Japanese version that extra play you see is because it's 13mm not 9mm anvil. Japan has great bits and the double sided tend to be the most useful ph2/sl6. Just don't try and use the 13mm anvil bits in us or European drivers they won't stay in quick release holders besides weras.
great video, Vessel makes decent quality products, I just looked at the price of the 3 speed one on Amazon and it is $40.12 US and in Canada on Amazon it is $72.18 even with exchange it should only workout to $57 CDN Amazon is really upping the price, with tax it is $81 a hard pass and it can't be shipped from the USA to Canada 👎
I’m sorry I didn’t catch. How much is the one with the three speed? These look great for somebody who have visual impairment to work with makes life a little easier. It seems. I’m interested in purchasing one of these possibly!
Just follow the link
Links are below the video in the description.
@@denoftools yes sir, I did find them from the common of the person before. I apologize I didn’t think about looking down in the description! I appreciate your reply very much, and thank you for all you do! Keep up the awesome work and the great videos!you rock!
40 bucks shipped.
I have yet to find a hand-held electronic screwdriver that I was happy with. The sound of the motors on these is not hopeful to me. I'll keep an eye out for reviews though.
I don't think the three speed has any extra gears. It has electronic speed control. That's why it has maximum torque at high speed and lowest torque at the slow speed.
That's a shame. I'd gladly exchange speed for a bit more torque. I also want gears that lock when the motor isn't running. Hopefully this has that.
My 17 year old daughter glanced at a few Vessel ball grip screwdrivers I had at checkout in Japan and said to my wife "Why is Papa buying so many microphones?"
Because the pros bring their own mics to karaoke
Slow, Fast, and 3 speed. The one in the case is the slow speed only. I opted for the 3 speed.
Shine on!
Is there a way to send you pictures anymore without IG?
you can email me at red@denoftools.com
It looks and sounds faster
Been wantin a good e-screwdriver & the cheap chinese ones did not seem worth it on scamazon. I got an iFixit Pro tool kit with lots of bits so I want the 3 speed but I also want the case for on the go with my iFixit kit. I wish the 3 speed came with a case. Who am I kidding... Lord knows since our friends in Japan made it I'm buyin both haha. Then they will come out with the one I wanted & I'll buy that too 😅
I'm a big Vessel fan, but I no longer buy anything with micro usb.
The 3 speed has USB-C and is 40 shipped.
Tool Time with Andy Reid...
It's been said that Vessel screwdrivers fit screws on Japanese motorcycles , precisely compared to others .
They just follow JIS, japanese industrial standard, which makes a big difference
Hello, my Friend, get Ur butt to Vegas so we can go grab a drink, it has been too long.
I was just in Vegas last week! And I will NOT be there again until fall, lol. I don't need that triple digit heat.
I remember back in the 60’s all Japan was known for was cheap tin toys and bad Godzilla movies.
Yep then they got good and the junk came from Korea, then they got good and it was Taiwan's turn, then China, it's looking like India is the next "it's all junk" manufacture, can't wait to see their Kaiju movies!
@@denoftools Bollywood better get going with the monster movies.
The only thing I see “Just released” is english packaging. Ive been using the 220usb plus for almost 2 years now and 220usb plus premium for about a year.
The both plus models are great drivers. I carry one in all my tool bags and I use them daily. The non premium 220usb plus actually feels more premium than the premium version.
I don’t recommend the non plus models only because you have carry two drivers to get the function of a single plus model.
In my experience these drivers shine more when working with machine screws. Such as electrical, door and lock work.
Not really the best choice for the majority of wood work.
The 3 speed is updated and new for the US market.
@@denoftools So it is the exact same thing they’ve been offering? Vessel isn’t trying to clam it new to the market in general or improved? They didn’t make so that it worked with standard US bits?
@@mumbles1justin It is desgined for the US market and it does take US bits.
@@denoftools Just to clarify your saying US bits bottom out & lock in. Not relying solely on the ball barring to float the bit ? Meaning a 1” bit doesn’t fall all the way in below the surface without the use of a bit adapter?
US bits I have do bottom out and lock in but their isn't much left to use. It's exactly the same as I showed in the video using their own 1" bits.
Just ordered the 3 speed, it said USB-C. oops, also only available in black and a single bit.
When you put the screwdriver up to your ear I 🤔 is he gonna use it to clean out his ears 🤣. But then I noticed that you was listening to the different in the speeds.(rpm’s🙂) great unboxing video
They are oddly shaped…..
And yet they feel right in the hand.
Made in Japan is all you had to say.
These are a let down
Putting the charging port under a flap in the handle and then having extra holes in the handle for the lanyard in the handle is an ergonomic fault.
The other ones are micro usb.
Go back and redesign them from scratch
Can I have one please
Micro USB is a no go 4me. I'm thwowing away anyymicro USB
That's why I'm keeping the 3 speed. USB C is where it's at.
I don’t buy micro usb anymore
Sorry
All these tools are way spendy.
Never heard of this brand of tools. Prefer the companies that are based in the USA and owned by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CITIZENS.
