How much does an electric screwdriver prototype cost?
The cost of an electric screwdriver prototype depends on how much of the product is being customized. A standard existing model is much cheaper than a prototype requiring new electronics, housing, or tooling.
A practical guide is:
Standard existing model: usually only sample and shipping cost
Logo or bit configuration sample: low additional cost
Custom color or packaging: additional sampling and setup cost
Custom torque, speed, battery, or PCB: higher engineering and testing cost
New housing or structure: may require CNC, 3D printing, or prototype tooling
New injection mold: tooling cost is calculated separately and can be much higher than the prototype itself
Prototype cost may include:
Engineering and design
PCB development
Motor and gearbox selection
Battery development
CNC or 3D-printed parts
Custom components
Assembly
Functional testing
Packaging samples
Courier cost
For ToolQeen standard electric screwdriver models, a standard sample can be provided free of charge, with the buyer covering shipping. For customized OEM or ODM prototypes, the cost is calculated according to the required changes.
For deeper projects, we recommend confirming the target function, torque, speed, battery, structure, appearance, quantity, and expected mass-production price first, so the prototype can be designed without unnecessary development cost.
