I like the simplicity and ergonomics of the Klein 4 in 1 electronics screwdriver. But I was wondering if there are other multi bit screwdrivers like it? And when I say like it, like no more than 4 different profiles (Klein has a PH 0 and 00 and slotted 2.4mm, 3.2 tips). The sizes are perfect for using on PLC terminals as well as Wago connectors. An off/on search for one over the past week, has turned up nothing. Of the ones I found, they either had too many bits, the handles too big, or the bits did not come in the size Klein has. The closest thing I found was made by Wiha 75093. Besides too many bits (I can live with that), the shank does not actually lock into the handle. Suggestions?

I got one from Menards free on my birthday one year. It’s wooden so reasonably non-conductive but I wouldn’t count on that if you need the insulation. It has held up fine for occasional use. Pic from one on eBay below:

I dont think there is. I tried the mid size Picquic but its handle was really to bulky for the pocket.

A coworker has a wiha 28394. Its amazingly nice and wonderfull in all ways, except again to big for the pocket. The klein would be good if the handle wouldn't swell with the slightest hint of oil and then spin on the plastic underneath.

The Vaco version doesn't seem to have the fat rubber grip of the Klein version, if that's helpful. It's also supplied by Klein Tools, so maybe the tips are the same?

I use that one too but I call it a 5 in one klein because the little hex for the bits can be used as a nut driver.
