Other than my insulated set, my Multibit is my go-to. I like to think I am very qualified to give some advice on multi bit drivers.

If you want one with nut drivers Klein is a strong option The Wera drivers look like amazing quality. Having said all that, I would totally buy a Wera if it were this kind of design. Fortunately the bits on both are pretty durable. I have occasionally touched up a Phillips bit on a grinder to restore the corners and make it grip a little better, but you can only do that once or twice. The downside is that once you round off the Phillips bits, that's pretty much it for the tool. I just think this style is a more versatile design. And I can pull the barrel out of the tool and chuck it into a drill to have an instant power nutdriver or screwdriver, without carrying around separate bits and accessories for the drill. To change bits, I don't have to open any storage compartment usually I just need to flip the bit, or flip the center barrel. The one advantage I can see to these designs over the center-barrel design is that the bits are generic and can be replaced individually when they wear out.
Neither of them have nut drivers, either. The Wera avoids that problem, but instead you have to push the bits back into storage clips: Yeah, I don't think I would like the Wera or Wiha, because it's not the kind of design I prefer.īoth of those make you open the handle and fiddle around with little individual bits. The Wiha looks especially fiddly in that regard it looks like you have to take a cap off the handle, put it down, and turn a selector dial to access the bit you want: Greenlee and Lenox sell the identical tool under their brands and color schemes, but I prefer the bright colored Irwin because of the aforementioned "where did I put it?" problem.ĭid I miss anything? Contrary opinions are welcome. But they don't make them anymore, so I'm trying out the Irwin, and it's really nice too good feel in the hand, more bits and options than the Crescent, and it feels like the Phillips bits grip the screw a little better. I've been using those Crescent ones for ages, and they're really comfortable I have a bunch of them. It wasn't a conscious thing, it's just something I found myself doing over the years, and it took me a while to think through why I was doing it. Sometimes too bulky to reach recessed screwsįor me, apparently the pros outweigh the cons, and I standardized on the multi-drivers.

Individual bits, or the center shaft, can be chucked into a drill, so I don't have to carry around a separate set of driver bits for that Less to carry around (can stick it in a pocket)Ĭhances are better that the tool already in my hand is the tool I'll need nextįewer individual tools to lose track of while working (this is a real problem for me, and it's not a senior moment thing either, I've been saying "I JUST had that, where did it go?" since I was a teenager) Instead, I'm going to grab one of the 7-in-one or 9-in-one drivers I keep strategically scattered around the house. individual screwdrivers?Įvery time I see a nice screwdriver set, I immediately want them but I know from experience that I'm not gonna use them. Who's up for a discussion on multi-bit screwdrivers vs.
