🪛 EDC Screwdrivers (DIY Multitool toolkit) 

Didn't think I'd wake up owning 5 new screwdrivers...

I like that you stuck to standard bits. I work IT in a hospital and need to use a T20 Torx and 5/32 Hex almost daily. I created a list of tools and bits that are most useful for our techs that I share with new employees. I ordered the Steelman 10 in 1 today thanks to your videos!

I am so deep down this rabbit hole with you. I have realized that the most commonly used stuff where quality matters is worth having a dedicated tool. For me, it is pocket knife, scissors, knipex plier wrench, driver. Fill in the gaps with a multi tool. Recently tried to use my little driver with gloves on and couldnt get traction so am now looking at a new one. Great timing. Thanks

I just want a bit screwdriver version of those cylindrical hex key multitools. Key features is that the flipped out driver centers itself with the handle, the handle is more or less round, and every bit is in it's own socket, ready to go and no need to fiddle around with swapping bits.

Really impressed, you did a great job. Been looking to upgrade my edc tools. For me the weight of carrying edc tools is a major issue. And your attention to detail, and to give real expectations of each is greatly appreciated. Definitely looking forward to further videos.

Literally the coolest video I’ve watched, can’t wait to see what else you have

absolutely love the Milwaukee Fastback version with the screwdriver. never realized how often id use the bits and 1/4" driver until i had the stuff in my pocket at all times. awesome gadget.

Really a great video for screwdriver lovers! I like most that you choose only standard 1/4” and 4mm bits tools! Wonderful job!

Got the Hoto 24 bits because of this video. It is an amazing tool. I Carry it everyday with a 4mm ifixit PH2 bit already install. So 25 in 1

I absolutely love the Milwaukee fastback. I thought that because it has plastic scales on top of a metal frame it would be cheaper than its predecessors, but I am a big fan of its design and functionality.

HOTO P1 24-in-1! That made me click the like button immediately

This is an excellent run down of the better options out there. Personally I've gone for the Victorinox L bar and bit set, and the mini wrench set. Both great options. Thanks for putting this video together.

Thanks for bringing all of these together in a single video! Saves a lot of legwork for the viewer. A video comparing small ratchets/ratchet kits would be welcomed.

As someone who's needed an EDC utility knife I'm wishing I got the Milwaukee hybrid, for a do most things I need tool. But I went with the basic knife, because easy one handed open and close was a bigger priority than the bit driver.

Awesome review of some innovative tools. 👍👍 Those 4mm wide pry tools look amazing. I was on a job many years ago where I pretty much had a Craftsman right angle mini ratchet screwdriver in my hand 8 hours a day for 9 months. I still count on that little guy for a lot of things. But I recently picked up a Topeak bike tool kit with a right angle ratchet, and that has an in-line option. That little ratchet, a 3 inch extension, and an Altoids Smalls tin full of bits all fit in my watch pocket nicely. I added a Wiha 1/4 hex to 4mm adapter to the mix, and I now have one driver for everything from 0.8mm pentalobe and 1mm flat, all the way to T25 and #3 Phillips.

I commented a few months back but like many my EDC is constantly evolving. After looking at, and trying drivers designed specifically for EDC, folding or keychain, and even thinking outside the box and trying bike multitools, I've come to the conclusion that the best solutions are already made by established tool manufacturers. For example there's a Snap-on reversible magnet driver, about the size of a lighter, with a pocket clip. Would work with regular 2 inch bits as well as the double ended bit it's supplied with. Klein Tools make a couple of 8 in 1 variants which are a bit bigger but still smaller than the Steelman. A couple of people in the comments section have pointed out the Picquic Pic which seems pretty pocketable too. I can't get that model over here in the UK but I hadn't heard of Picquic before and I will buy one of their models for at home and more out of curiosity as don't own anything which is made in Canada. PB Swiss make a compact driver with onboard bit storage, again a bit big for the pocket but not bigger than the Steelman. I've settled on the Wera 813 handle/bit driver, about the size of a Bic lighter too so it sits nicely in the 5th pocket of my jeans. Sometimes I carry it with a couple of 2 inch bits, other times with small bits and a 2 in extender so I have the option of using it as a stubby. All of the above have better ergonomics than the pricey EDC Big Ideas Designs drivers and there are no quality concerns, they're just smaller versions of products made by reputable tool manufacturers, made in N. America or Europe. Another approach is to look for a mini ratchet which has a bit holder in the end of the handle, so it can be used as an inline driver as well. There are some made for cyclists, like the Topeak pocket rocket. I have one which is the size of a Swiss Army Knife, the Sealey mini ratchet, also branded Sabrecut. Then there is a really tiny one, about 2 inches long which was reviewed on this channel, made by the Taiwanese company 711L. The mini ratchets don't have ergonomic handles like the above examples of bit drivers but they are still better than most drivers made specifically for EDC, and you have the added feature of using the ratchet where accessibility is an issue.

Another solid video man. You are growing on me video by video keep it up! 👊🏼

I've carried the titanium bit bar for like 2 years straight. It is an essential part of my edc.

I'm a big fan of the Milwaukee fastback and I've been looking for a edc screwdriver. Now I know I can combine the two! Off to Home Depot in the morning!

I've carried the fastback for a few years now, hands down one of my all time favorite/most used tools. Although working in IT I find the need for micro bits more than anything, really just need to pull the trigger on a fulcrum, can't decide on a size though. Great video, keep up the amazing work!

Yeah it’s hard to beat the Milwaukee fastback 6 in 1 for the $! It’s in my work edc rotation almost every other day. Add some Shark Tooth blades makes it next level!

This was a Great video -- It's rare to actually learn about things I never knew existed... congratulations! Suggestions for next video would include tools that include both a light and a pen ... those certainly fall within my edc carry along with a cutting edge and some tool capability (screwdriver/pliers/and pull bar). Again, good job, you'se set the bar rather high and I'm expecting a lot in future videos. Now I have to go out and get some of these toys!

For my daily use case, the Gerber Armbar Drive is EVERYTHING I want in a EDC multi tool. Only gripe is a lack of pliers or tweezers but those would be items I used the least anyways. When it first came out, I ordered one right away cause I never thought a tool could check all the boxes for the tool necessities plus form factor for me. Literally perfect. I’d use the Leatherman Skeletool as my main but scissors are more important for my daily use case than pliers, and the Skeletool has some heft to it.

Thank you for showing these and for adding a list. You have helped me extensively, for I have just begun my EDC small tool collection. I am looking forward to your reviews. And I will certainly be looking back at your other postings since I have only now found you. This is a very informative video!!

Next up precision screwdriver kits? As someone who does phone repairs here and there, those come in clutch! I’ve a wallet type one that did me good for ages. Recently bought a phone repair kit the size of two of my hands, but it’s too big. Got a new one, those trending grey kits with a sliding door access to the whole kit, looks like thst pen driver. Perfect for me paired with a mini multitool and a couple plastic pry tools. I used to do repairs in school during lunchtime, now I’ve developed the rep in my college - people bring me their phones, tablets and often even laptops for me to repair any day so I need to be ready. I’m cheaper than those store repair shops because I don’t pay rent for a place. I can do it anytime anywhere as long as I have a table and dust free environment. Pretty cool side job/hobby.

Man! That Kershaw!!! Simple, very pocketable and with a real blade

I like my picquic teeny turner. I bought it off the counter at a local ace for $6-8 several years back, thinking it had a handy assortment of bits and I still use it all the time! Bits have all held up very well, including the t6 and are actually if surprisingly good quality. Just a fairly standard little stubby driver with 6 bits stored in the handle plus one in the driver. Would definitely recommend! They seem to offer them with a variety of different bit configurations.

That shuffle DIY knife is solid. I keep one in my "junk drawer" and that screwdriver gets used probably more than any others I have just because its conveniently located. The knife blade is short but has a big "belly" or whatever you want to call it so it still can do a lot of cutting. Mine pretty much only sees amazon packaging tape, but it works great for that too! I've seen that milwaukee knife recommended enough times that I'm definitely gonna grab one the next time I'm in HD. Seems perfect to throw in my apron.

Fabulous!! Now to make my shopping list!!

Very informative. I'm going to have to watch this again and copy down some of your recommendations.

Really appreciate the way this video was made. Very concise. 👌

I love this. I came here from the similar pliers video you did. I've always wanted to look into kits like this but for a 1/4 inch socket set.

those pry bars are great! Definitely going in my list.

Love seeing these new videos that explain options for commonly used and needed EDC items. Maybe a follow up screwdriver video that is all proprietary? Wiha, double ended, etc. If there is enough to make a whole video.

I spent a while looking for a small set like these. I ended up on the same set of fix it sticks and love them.

What a great video. I keep coming back to it.

Big idea can’t wait!!! I was thinking about buying one didn’t know which one

Great options I cared the seelmen for awhile but replaced it with the Gerber Armbar slim. Wasn’t a big fan of the full version but that slim has worked out great for the last 5 months simple working blade, bottle opener and driver

Thanks so much for mentioned Fix-It Sticks. Barely anyone in the EDC community that I've seen has this tool. Most people are spending big money on the Big Idea Designs products, which are great but obviously at a different price point. I will be buying one soon!

Been using the Work Sharp Micro for quite a while now and so far, it's been performing very well. It's like the bare bones tool you need to keep your dedicated knife in top shape anywhere and anytime.

Harbor Freight recently dropped a 1/4 ratcheting bit driver with a flex head. I believe its called the Icon locking flex head ratchet, or something to that sort. It also has the ability to be used as an inline bit driver and as a t-handle. Definitely recommend looking into it!

Nice video man ! I bought the Bit Bar inline on Kickstater when theny came with it ! Such a cool edc tool ! I bought the Steelman cause of you ahaha ! 🤟

awesome comparison! beautiful tools!

Absolutely killer selection of tools. Thanks for the wealth of information. SUBSCRIBED!!!

Milwaukee fastback is my go to screwdriver, and I usually carry a leatherman on me as well. It’s such a great design.

As a refrigeration technician. The 5/16 nut driver is an absolute must. 

Milwaukee fastback took me a while but I finally found one. There hasn't been a day I don't carry it, then I see your video and learn about the spare blade holder, thanks just when u think it can't get better..... lol

Great video! A lot of tools I’ve never heard of here.

I picked up a two pack Milwaukee fastback the 1500 and 1505. Great little utility knives.

Thanks for posting this. Noticed a lot of new and barely used tools. 🙂

This is a great video. A good alternative to the RUNOI bike tool is the Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX. There are other variations but that one is the least bike specific. That is 100% what RUNOI based their design on for the ratcheting tool.

Very good video! To answer your final question I'd like to see more about edc scissors because I'm still searching for a good one approx 10cm in length. Cheers from Germany!

I’d have to say that the fix stick would probably be my favorite. Might have to pick one up for myself

I have been on a quest for EDC scewdrivers for a while. I've been using the fixit sticks and they are excellent. Got the countycomm en route and i hope it will work out well

Outstanding video!!! Brilliant, thank you for this video. Subbed 👏👏👏

I love the Maxcraft! I’ve been looking for something with traditional screw drivers (slotted and Phillips) because I don’t seem to need Torx and other specialty drivers. My pair of small Swiss Army knives gives me small and large drivers, but obviously can’t take those on a plane. The Maxcraft is a little bulky, but it’s lightweight When does just what I wanted at all to do and nothing more. Great find!

I really liked the Irwin folding utility knife with blade and bit storage.

This is so entertaining to watch even if I don't know what edc means lol.

Teale Designs is one cool dude. I have three pry bars from him. He will do custom upgrades if they are within reason. Great maker. Glad to see you showing some of his work. Thanks as always 👍.

Great review!

Gerber armbar slim drive has been my favorite!

Great video, the precision drivers and utility knife in this video are what I didn't know I needed. So far the EDC tool that I've used the most is my Gerber dime. I've been laugh at by having it, but of all the tools I have, is the one that I've used the most and has helped me in dire situations as well.

I like this and quite a collection I love EDC gadgets.

Thank you for the knowledge.

Nice selection of tools. I probably use the cheap, belkin credit card sized bit kit that I picked up in the impulse aisle at microcenter 20+ years ago the most out of any of my bit sets. It has 6 universal bits and an extender

This is an awesome video! Thank you and I bought 2 tools from this, #1 Maxcraft and #8 Fixitsticks Pro

I really enjoyed this video and found the info really useful. Just commenting to give a little algorithmic boost as my way of thanking you for the effort of making and posting your thoughts on these items. Thanks.

Love the Vero Fulcrum I have both the mini and full size and have one of them on me at all times!

I EDC milwaukee's stubby 8 in 1 ratcheting screwdriver with a 6" bit extension. its ultra durable, ratchets, and you can reach just about anywhere with it. I'ts not exactly something I would carry to the grocery store, but it can reasonably be carried in a pair of cargos, or any backpack. On the Job it works with everything in my tool bag, and the extension is super handy on a drill.

Wow I was thinking of making a similar video like this but you did a far better job than I ever could with more pieces than I even knew about

Great video!! Thank you!

Just got the Hoto p1 and it is awesome.

That blue Hoto was it & that last prybar combo 👍🏼👍🏼, EDC sissors could be nice 😎🇺🇸🤙🏼

Yeah! I see that Kershaw Shuffle DIY! I love the whole Shuffle family.... All 3. They've been my sole EDC knife for years.

My favorite was the fixitsticks. I never saw it before but it appealed the most to me.

I like the L or T handle options, good video

Awesome vid...thank you!

Thank you for great information.

Thank you for sharing, some these are just so beautiful. I think im buying a Hoto for myself. but the real winner is that Teale Designs. One day!

Great video. Thank you.

I liked the Victronix, Kershaw & that worx sharpener life tool is slick 👍🏼👍🏼😎

Great job sir 👏✌️

I've had a cybertool since they came out. If only the screwdriver was centered! I've looked for an edc screwdriver that could replace it. These are great options.

Great video!

great episode thanks

Wow so smart and brilliant ideas.

That 1/4" to 1/4" bit on the second screwdriver that you showed is usually able to be slid over the1/4" flat head screwdriver bit on most multi tools allowing you to carry that adapter with Bits in the sheath!

Ha! The Runoi is also the Power Torque Bit Ratchet, too. Very cool and glad it made in the video, as it's size is awesome and it's strength is awesomer. I also really like that HOTO... thanks for introducing me to it.

This vid is so comprehensive. 😮

Great review, thank you very much.

Awesome review, if I may stating tool weight would be helpful ! Thanks for doing this !!!!

Great Video! :) Just a small hint: The "Runoi" Bike kit is a cheap knockoff from the Swiss Tools Bike Kit, you should check It out! They have lot's of high quality tools and also some edc stuff. Nevertheless, lots of interesting and awesome tools - thumbs up!

My Fixit Sticks came. My set holds 18 bits. The two ends of the rubber holder have slots, so there is a bit in each end. Great bit of kit. Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m new to the channel and I gotta say man your gonna make me go broke with all these tooIs I never knew existed lol, the fixisticks pro looks awesome I’ll definitely be checking it out

For me definetly HOTO 24in1 because as a leatherman guy i have set of leatherman bit and this is great addition to that! Actually before i finished this video i already ordered one because the price is also good!

This is a high quality video!!! I know you won’t see this and probably already have a video on this, but i would l like to see a video about the “mini multi tools”. Like I’d really like to have a customized half of a Leatherman. Lol. Essentially different versions of the CRKT Armbar.

As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. ru-vid.comUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.

I enjoyed this video a lot.

Great video dood. I just subbed.

I have done electrical and machine control systems for 23 years. I have EDCed a small tool kit for many years. I am one of those people that has to work on things everywhere I go. So, a medium size channel locks, a pair of Klein Wire stripper pliers, a single multi-bit screwdriver, one strait blade screw driver, a razor knife, and a tiny digital multimeter. All of it is stored in a leather belt pouch. With just a few tools, I have found that there isn't much I can't do with just those tools. My biggest problem with all of the compact mutitools is they won't survive the things I do with tools. And, I'm not spending money on disposable tools.
