Mitsushi ML100B 48pcs screwdriver review: best budget

The Mitsushi ML100B is our Best Budget pick: a foldable 4.8V screwdriver with a 48-piece kit for around ₱329. Nothing else here gets close on value.

What do you get for ₱329?

The tool plus 8 sockets and 36 bits, an extender, a screw adapter, and a USB cord. The sockets are the surprise: most kits at this price give you driver bits only, so this handles small nuts and bolts too, which covers flat-pack furniture bolts and appliance panels.

The tool itself runs at 4.8V, 3.5Nm, and 250rpm, the fastest no-load speed of our picks. It has a forward and reverse slide switch and an LED battery indicator, so you can check the charge before a job rather than discovering it mid-screw.

Is the foldable body a gimmick?

No, and it’s the nicest thing about using it. The body hinges between a pistol grip and a straight in-line grip. Pistol gives you leverage when driving; straight fits into gaps where a pistol grip simply won’t turn. On a tool this small, that flexibility gets used constantly.

What can’t it do?

Mitsushi is unusually upfront here, and we’ll repeat it: it is not for concrete or hard surfaces. It’s for screwing and unscrewing. At 4.8V and 3.5Nm it will also stall on long screws into hardwood.

Two other limits. Charging takes 3 to 5 hours, the slowest here. And there’s no published bit-steel grade, so expect the bits to be softer than the S2 steel in a precision kit, which matters on tight or seized screws.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱329 as of July 31, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. This is the clearest value verdict in the whole niche: a working cordless screwdriver plus 44 accessories for less than the price of a decent bit set on its own.

Compare it with the KEELAT 42-piece kit at around ₱1,700, which costs roughly five times as much for six fewer pieces and publishes no torque figure at all. That comparison is why this ranks second and that one ranks fourth.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a capable little screwdriver and a full accessory set without thinking hard about the money. It’s the right choice for a first toolkit, a condo drawer, or a second kit to leave in the car.
