The listing calls it a drill, but at 1.4 ounces this reads as a compact precision driver for electronics work, not a powered drilling tool.

Overview
IFixit's IF145-502-1 weighs just 0.04 kilograms, about 1.4 ounces, a figure far lighter than any powered drill despite the drill label on this listing. It carries a 3.8 star average from 516 ratings, with roughly 100 bought in the past month.
The weight here doesn't square with the drill category this product is filed under; no drill on the market comes close to 1.4 ounces. iFixit's catalog is built around precision repair tools for electronics rather than power drilling equipment, and that ultra light weight fits a handheld bit driver far better than a motorized drill.

Who it's for
Fits repair technicians and hobbyists doing careful work on small electronics, where a light precision driver matters more than raw drilling power. Not a match for anyone actually shopping for a power drill, since the weight here doesn't support that.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Extremely light at about 1.4 ounces for precision work
- IFixit brand recognized for repair tools
- 3.8 star average is lower than similar listings
- The drill category label doesn't match the ultra light weight
Performance notes
A tool this light, at roughly 1.4 ounces, is built for careful control over small fasteners rather than the torque a powered drill would deliver. That fits iFixit's broader focus on repair oriented tools, though buyers should weigh the 3.8 star average against the other, higher rated tools in this same batch.
