Customizing X-in-1 Multi-bit Screwdrivers

[KnurledNut]

Anyone swap around two-sided bits to make their multi-bit screwdrivers more versatile?
I put some thought into this and customized a few of mine.

The first is dedicated Phillips (0, 1, 2, 3) and slotted (1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 9/32):


Second is dedicated to receptacle work (ECX 1&2, SQ 1&2, PH2, SL1/4, Nutdrivers 1/4, 5/16):


Third is dedicated Torx (10x15, 20x25, 27x30):

Nope, but I like the idea.

Oh I got waaaaaay too obsessed with this a few years back. So much so that I paid an embarrassing amount of money to Eazypower for some super odd double end bits. On the plus side my stock of PH3/PH4 bits should last a lifetime.

Pic is my standard layout, I have another one with PH3/5/16” ECX1/2 and T15/20, and then a third with PH3/4”, SQ2/3 and T10/15. I have some P0-1/8” bits that I sometimes swap in as well.

Give me a week to round them all up for photos and you’ll regret starting this thread.

@NoahG
Im definitely interested in seeing your arrangements!
Thanks for the reply.

I always install a PH2x5/16” slot bit from a 5 in 1 on my 11 in 1 drivers.

I dig the Torx only driver

I like what you've done but it does rather defeat the purpose of the all in one.
How do you like the ECX bits?

 

[bonneyman]

Heck yeah!

Here's a Proto yellow grip handle I converted into a multi-bit driver, and was able to retrofit it to take 1/4" driver bits (and thus 1/4" drive accessories, extensions, and sockets) and nut runners, too.

I'm liking this thread. In to watch.

Where do you find the 1/4 inch short double sided bits ?
Most web stores don’t carry them or places like Zoro cost too much with shipping. I really like your idea of not carrying twenty screwdrivers in my toolbox

I like this one a lot. My klein 11 in 1 pisses me off every time I see the torx bits, ph1 and the larger slotted. I should put this setup together

Nice!

Picquic screwdrivers work in a very different way, but the overall idea lends itself to customizing like this. They sell several variants of their drivers (like all Torx, all hex, etc.) and they sell bits and bit packs for customizing your setup.

Picquic – We still make'em like we used to

The Original Instant Multi. Is it the best? You decide. The original Picquic Professional or at-home use, the bit assortment you need most. Picquic, on a budget Shorter handle, shorter bits, nothing short
