Recommended multi-tip screwdriver

[kmealy]

I thought I'd share a recommendation for a screwdriver that I've been using in my on-site kit for a dozen years or so.  After going thru a couple of other brands, I got one of these.  Recently got a set for my eldest grandsons.

 The things I like about them:
- nice comfortable handle

- long bits that can be used in drill-driver or socket driver (it teams up well with my 35 pc GearWrench Microdriver set, another favorite tool)

- bits are a standard 1/4" hex so they are easily replaced if needed, add specialty bits or a bit not in their standard set ( I added a #1 robertson and Pozi-drive)

- durable bits (my Klein driver ended up messing the phillips bit and they are non-standard size)

- they have all sorts of kits with different bit sets, stubby & regular size, Torx, hex, smaller bits for detail work, etc.

- made in Canada (though in the recent set the bits are Taiwanese)

- lifetime warranty

 

The only problem I had is that I spilled gasoline on one and it temporarily softened the plastic handle, just making it a bit dull.  They sent me a new one and I continue to use the old one.

Ordered one today.  Had to wait for enough items in my cart to make it worthwhile to order.

I hear ya on the avoiding gasoline, or brake cleaner.    Bought it for home.  At work I keep a good assortment of sockets and bits in my pocket and have a cordless screwgun on my hip for quick work.  Do some of the same at home.  Really like the long bits and that it is magnetic.  Used on installing new doorbell switches this evening.
