Remember, this instructable will VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
You need soldering iron for make this project.

Here some shots from cheap Chinese e-screwdriver.

Step 1: Unscrew the Electric Screwdriver

First, we need unscrews the e-screwdriver.
Pay attention to hidden screw under label.

Step 2: Inspection of Device Internals

We need to swap motor cable connection solder points on circuit and switch cap.

I notice Li-Ion battery is only 850 mAh.
If you need longer runs, you can order 2500 mAh version for ~ $3,5.

Step 3: Swaping Connections

While heating soldering iron, bend nails and rotate cap of switch.

Than unsolder & resolder swapped motor connection cables.

Try if device works as needed before closing device.

Step 4: Close Device.

After fasten all screws, device become operational and works as intended.
