Cool. I have a couple of cheap ($4 at Lowes/free at HF) multi drivers and a Milwaukee stubby ratcheting one and husky one and they all work very well. An item you might want to try: A small 1/4" hex drive keyless drill chuck for your impact driver (I got a Neiko). It lets you use round shank bits with your impact wrench which is super handy IMO.
Thanks for the real review man, it's helped me make my purchase. I hate all the crappy RU-vid unboxing "reviews" and marketing wank. Everyone loves to suck up to Veto Pro, but their bags are 10 lbs empty.
Been using the Klein 5-1 driver for almost 30 years now. They work perfectly. And are tough. Also have a Craftsman plastic box with about 30 different bits and a magnetic driver. It takes care of those Torx and square bits when they pop up.
I just got into my career and am building up my set, but the first tool I got was the Milwaukee 7 in 1. With the ratcheting it is easy to use and the magnetic tips help me pick up fallen screws and washers when I'm too lazy to get my magnet. You can also remove the screwdriver from the handle and put it in a drill.
Great video. I love the Kline multi bit screwdrivers. I've got their standard and stubby adjustable length drivers, which double as bit holders for my yellow gyro screwdriver. The large diameter handles let me work much more comfortably with serious arthritis in my thumbs when my power driver won'tfit. That mini sized multidriver is also amazing, with all the small bits i usually need. My second bag has several sets of security bits, jeweler's bits down to a T5, similar phillips sizes, miniature nut drivers, and easy out tools. The big wrenches, socket sets (to 3"), and 1/2" impact driver ride in the truck. Handyman stuff... As a retired electronic tech working odd jobs, better tools to make jobs easier are always welcone. Keep up the reviews!
I keep that Wera multi-bit driver and a Klein flip socket in my pocket. With the right bits in the Wera, you can get into almost anything with two tools. I highly recommend both.
If you are talking about the Klein 7 in 1 flip socket, I loved it when I first got it, but then as I used it, I found the sockets are too shallow for a lot of nuts I need to drive and I have the pull the shaft part way out of the socket. In my opinion they are a great idea but poorly designed and built. It makes no sense to me to have the magnet stick so far up into the socket. If they fixed that I would love them.
@@ScottenJonesVideo I do agree with that regarding the magnet. Also, the magnet isn't the strongest and the glue that holds it in the shaft isn't the best either. It works well enough most of the time but there is definitely room for improvement. It is EDC at work, regardless.
Megapro but no Picquic?!? Man, if you're using an impact or a drill often, you need a Picquic! Actually no, you need two Picquic: you need an Original and either a Dash or a Multique. My setup has the Original with a Robertson #2 and a Multique with a Philips #2. I can swap bits in and out for the work I have to do but always come back to that basic combination since these are the most common screws I deal with. I usually also have a regular, dedicated Standard screwdriver as well 'cause it's so good as a prybar. 🙂 Keep up your excellent work!
I mixed and matched 2 Klein multi-bit drivers and i have to say it is the best combos I've ever carried. -Klein Tools 6-in-1, Ratcheting 32558 -Klein Tools Magnetic Driver 32500MAG
I've been an electrician since 1993 and Klein has always been touted as the best. I used Kleins multi-bit screwdriver for years until a coworker showed me his Lennox multi-bit screwdriver. Much stronger and durable, plus the bits don't fall out after you use the nut driver like Klein does.
It's funny how Milwaukee released their new 13 in 1 and it's just a better version of all the standard screw drivers. I'm a DeWalt guy but Milwaukees new hand tools are amazing
Klein extended reach 6-1 is definitely a big oversight, it's one of the only multi drivers that has longer, slimmer bits. They're much easier to keep track of and as electricians the slim bits are a life safer. It's also parred down to the essentials, Phillips-Slot-Square-1/4-5/16. I couldn't work with out one fixed flat blade though since none of the multi drivers hold up to prying and such.
LOVE the feature on the Wiha that leaves the same type of driver on the same bit. That has always been a big gripe for me on other nut drivers. It annoys me enough that, even though I have several multi drivers... I will defiantly be buying the Wiha.
People are whining about the lack of the LTT screwdriver, but the real missing item is the actual best ratcheting bit holder... the Anex 397-D. Far more thoughtful design than the LTT and it is less than half the price.
@@nachoisme How so? Because it doesn't have integrated bit storage? I suppose that makes a difference for people who like to carry a loose screwdriver in their pocket and no other tools.. seems a bit niche to me.
@@nachoisme never liked multi bit holders anyways because you still end up bringing a driver bit set with nutsetters or other miscellaneous length bits.
I use the Klein 13 in 1 heavy duty driver. Something about the bit layout just works for me. When I was carrying the standard ones the back plastic would always break out.
I bought the Wera Zyklop mini with the 3/8" head and the 1/4" inset because of your video. Love it. Downsizing my tool pack at work and fit most of my daily drivers in a Veto TP-LC, with overflow in a Packout Backpack. Keep up the good videos. Haven't watched this whole thing yet but I'm sure it's great. I was a huge Klein 11-1 guy for years, I must have 5-6 of them missing various bits from over the years, but I'm starting to go Wera. I'm about to scoop up another Wera multi for my home/residential kit
Milwaukee 13 in 1 is my go to multi bit screwdriver, I like its bit selection, the nut driver options and ergonomics better compared to say for example the Klein 11 in 1 or the wiha 11 in 1. In my opinion it’s an insanely underrated screwdriver that people should give it try.
I’m with You man! Is that the one that has the #1 & #2 ECX bits? I have that model of Milwaukee, and it is nearly identical to the ToughBuilt featured here in this video. Peace
Some great ones in this lineup, but IMO the PB Swiss insider is the best. Nice string magnet. Slightly compact so it’s easy to pocket and get into a few more spaces, but I find it easy enough to comfortably torque anything I’d normally use a screwdriver on anyway. Also manages to still store 8 bits in the carousel + 1 in the bit holder. It’s pretty much the only screwdriver I grab 90% of the time.
I used what's now the Klein 80083 kit for a while, and kept the nut driver in the multi bit handle. Eventually the rubber came loose from the handle and I replaced it with a Hazet 810R. Both are good and usable every day but have their minor drawbacks.
Recently bought the vessel interchangeable bit ratcheting screwdriver. It has a ball grip handle that can be removed to become a stubby ratcheting screwdriver. Edit: They look like the vessel electric ones you show. The ball shape at the end is the ratcheting handle that’s removed to become a stubby. Also the newer interchangeable bit version is made in Japan. The Wera zyklops is very intriguing. When you turn the head it would be more like a “right angle screwdriver” than a stubby. Klein makes my favorite “right angle ratcheting screwdriver”. The reason I’m interested in the Wera Zyklops is the square part also acts as socket wrench. Definitely gonna get myself a pen screwdriver to keep in pocket.
probably my favourite multi is the basic four tip Stanley, and a four tip star bit to go with it. You need the slotted bits in the Stanley to undo those screws that the electrician apparently fixed the ceiling roses to the floor boards above it with !
Excellent video. I enjoy the Wiha 12-in-1 pop-up bit handle with torx, phillips, and flat head bits. 1/4 in. shank lets me use other brands' bits if I lose some Wiha bits.
It would have been helpful if you stated the sizes of the bits and nut drivers... 1/4", 5/16", 4mm, 8mm, etc. And which brands bits are replaceable and/or useable on other platforms. Personally, I only use drivers that use standard 1/4" bits for ease of replacement, and cross compatibility.
Maybe not available in the USA, but Stanley make a basic 4 bit type, very comfortable handle, has incorporated 2 sizes of nut spinners and a handle slot that tightens wing nuts etc... Retailers for about 8£ UK Excellent pocket screwdriver
Toughbuilt has some decent stuff. I agree about that ‘tri handle’ design they have. This one here looks almost like a clone of my Milwaukee? My Milwaukee has the holes for wire bending. And it has the #1 and #2 ECX bits. Almost identical, just different colors. I DO have a set of 1000 Volt resistance ToughBuilt screwdrivers. They are solid.
Yeah bro I appreciate the suggestion! I did just do something similar. Top 5 screwdrivers. Wera are definitely my favorite. I definitely prefer them over wiha
Linus tech tips screwdriver. No joke, it's based off the Megapro, but the gearing is different, has a strong magnetic. I have one and it works very well
It's a great screw driver. I have one and will be getting the stubby. People who say it's overpriced don't comically don't understand how expensive tools are in the trades. My LTT screwdriver is leagues better than my Snapon one.
@@MontaCodeProductions lol I’ve spent plenty of money on tools, but $70 for screwdriver is a hard sell. Most guys on the job don’t even bother to use screwdrivers anymore they just use impacts for most fastening purposes.
@@fabiantaveras8458 When you consider that there's ratcheting screwdrivers for about half the price of the LTT that perform just as good if not better, that other user is just trolling and shilling this product. Guess they haven't seen the latest Gamers Nexus video on LTT either 🤣
A few years ago I put together a lightweight first response bag, something with a trimmed down kit that would suffice for maybe 80% of my calls. In that I have the three Klein drivers, the 11-in-1, the stubby snd the skinny precision driver. They cover just about every job I do, but I have snapped a few bits and I can't get replacements in the UK.
I rather hate the ones with double sided bits. Too may times the bits fall out too easily. Even if it wasn't for that issue, I don't want to be flipping bits to find the end that I need. For me, I use the Wera Kraftform Kompakt ratcheting screwdriver.
Great that you have top 3 German brands in this Video, but you should add PB Swiss to make the European set complete. And the Wiha Speed-E II makes your 2 electric drivers look like Kids toys. Not sure why you mix all those categories randomly.
I wish that they would put the number two Phillips and the really thin flat head that nobody ever uses on the same bit and then put the standard flat head on the P1 side that way all you have to do is pull out the big giant holder and flip it instead of trying to maneuver those tiny little bits and flip that. Those tiny little bits with the ball bearing retention are a pain in the rear to finagle all the time when you can just pull out the glorified holder and flip it.
Thanks for making a review video where you actually used the items you're reviewing. That is becoming so rare these days, with people making "review" videos where they read the manufacturer's product description and maybe some Amazon reviews, and maybe the entire thing is written by AI. Thanks again for making a REAL review video. You da man.
I like the Snap On mini watching screwdriver with using the Wera Bit Check. Yo me the snap on has a better grip and does not slip in your had. Kind of a soft rubber type handle
Is the Square bit different than Robertson? In Canada, everything comes with a Robby pair on it for these multi bit screwdrivers. Philips is just awful so we have Robby for most things.
Megapro has a yellow-handled multi driver where the bits are longer (more stick-out) for better access to screws that are below the surface, and more importantly the bits LOCK IN. It is glorious.
For multibit, i swear by Piquic, it's just no nonsense, simple stupid wellmade. My hands are not small but I prefer Multique slim handle for everyday use.
I can't believe you don't have the Craftsman, it ratchets but in a very cool way, even even you bold the knurled switch and keep turning left or right it will keep going in your desired direction. That is my absolute favorite. Am underdog is the $20 SATA just very solid for the price.
I don’t really like multidrivers, much prefer a set of full size drivers. but if I have to for space, Wera for me. Don’t get me wrong, I do have them, But if anything is going to roll down a hole, it will be the last bit of that size you have .
Idk why but i like the toughbuilt the color scheme and it just looks sturdy lol ... the wera telescoping retractable is nice too but the 90 degree zyklops seems like something id break by muscling the shzz out of it doing something with it lol xD
