Kobalt Screwdriver Review

Here's a quick video I put together showing the new Kobalt screwdriver in action.

I'll be giving one away at the end of Nov, but if you don't care for it, there's the option of a $25 Lowes gift card.

It's a neat multi-bit screwdriver, but the handle's grip and ergonomics fall short of pro standards. I have no doubt that it will sell remarkably well this holiday season. Although I have plenty of "better" screwdrivers, I find the new one to be fun to use. It'll be a nice addition to my portable tool kit.

interesting concept.... handle looks a bit large though...

reminds me of a pepper grinder; pretty nifty with the still going forward in reverse

It is somewhat bulky, about the width of a ratcheting screwdriver handle, but not substantionally thicker.

Interesting analogy, didn't see the connection but the resemblance is definitely there.

First off, that screwdriver is horrendous looking. Second off, the size of that driver is almost as frightening as its looks. Thanks for the review though!
