I have a black craftsman one. I prefer to own all the different screwdrivers instead of switching out bits all the time

After going through lots of different brands, I just adore the PB Swiss one. I liked it so much I bought several.

You know, I might get beat for this, but I like my CMan Grip Driver. It's an older one, two or three generations back I believe. I like the way it works and it's served me well. I wouldn't replace my regular screwdrivers with it, but it's great to keep one in the house and one in the car.

They look nice, they might do the job for you. One thing nice about them, is that the shaft necks down. I really dislike the "thick shaft" models on many bit holders, makes clearance issues so much worse than they need to be.

I personally would not buy them because of personal preferences (1) I like the backside of the actual bit holder cylinder at the end of the shaft to be chamfered on the backside, for ease of removal, as on the PD Swiss drivers. With my work I tend to catch or snag a flat edge upon removal. (2) I have Felo screwdrivers and the big lump in the middle isn't to my liking, I find it easier to spin a smaller handle. As I said, these are just personal preferences, and those Felos might work really well for you.

As for tight fit, buy the same brand driver and bits, and hope for the best. I don't own any PB Swiss bits yet, so I can't comment how tight my system is, except to say, it's WAAAY tighter than my Cman bit holder on any bit.
