Fave Bit Screwdriver?

[Stuey]

Over at TG today I posted about my favorite multi-bit screwdrivers and a few that I haven't tried but know to be highly recommended.

If I had to narrow down the list, it would be PB Swiss, Wera, and I think Picquic.

Do you have a favorite pick to recommend?

Ratcheting or non-ratcheting, doesn't matter. Only criteria is that it has on-board bit storage.

I've always liked the Craftsman vinyl-ribbed multidriver (made by Fiskars), and my Enderes 6-in-1's have never let me down.

the only one I have is the Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver, I like it

I don't own one myself, but there was a thread a month or so back where the Milwaukee 11 in 1 was highly touted ... I'll take a look at it and grab one when I get over to HD next ...

I have a Bacho ratchet one which I like a lot and a Wiha stubby that is nicer than any other stubby I have used.

Is this like a 1/4 bit driver or like a reversible 6 in 1 type??

Either/both/other.

I included both types in my recommendations.

No Williams?

No Williams?

I'm not familiar with it. Which one would you recommend?

The one that gets recommended 90% of the time when this question gets asked.

It's only recommend because its cheaper than Snap-On. Those who need the truck warranty would be better suited for the Snap-On version. The diy person the Williams would be better, assuming the person likes the handle shape.

In your review of the Irwin 9 in 1 you stated:

"With this kind of multi-bit screwdriver, you’ll probably replace the whole thing when a few bits are worn or lost, rather than trying to hunt down replacement bits."

It might be of interest to those who own one or are considering it, Irwin provides free replacement bits.

Problem with recent Picquic is the bits are not very good. Well, actually I consider some of them junk. And the bigger handles from Picquic are quite heavy to spin with all the (long) bits in the handle. I thought they were good idea few years ago - but today, not so much.

This one I actually use, much better bits and handle. Local hardware store had it on fire sale so I grabbed it without much expectations back then. Of course everyone here knows Wiha - great tools.
