Arrowmax adds AI and cameras to the electric screwdriver

The Arrowspace S1 features a camera and LED light embedded at the base, paired with a physical probe that ensures the lens remains at the optimal focal distance from the screw head. Once the AI processes the visual data, the system pushes the identification results to a companion mobile app. Beyond bit selection, the software automatically configures the screwdriver’s torque levels to prevent hardware damage, effectively turning a manual task into a guided digital process.

Arrowmax has launched the device via a Kickstarter campaign, offering the standalone screwdriver for approximately $79. A bundle including the S1 smart bit case is available for $129. While the company has a track record of successful crowdfunding projects, backers should note that the S1 is not slated to begin shipping until April 2027 at the earliest, with retail prices expected to climb significantly after the initial campaign concludes.
