Multi-bit screwdrivers, what do you use?

[nev]

Hi all. Does anyone use multi-bit screwdrivers, like the 9-in-1 or a 6-in-1??

I use this one by Irwin

http://www.irwin.com/tools/screwdrivers/9-in-1-multi-tool

I keep it in a small Stanley tool pouch and use it as my 'fault finding' bag

also in the pouch is

a Volt stick
Comination pliers
Side cutters
a small Adjustable wrench
Irwin pro touch utility blade
5m tape
Insulation tape
various screws etc
and a sharpie

Would really like to try a Klein stubby 6-in-1 or a Milwaukee 11-in-1 )

I too use the Irwin. I've got my eyes on the Milwaukee though... the wire stripper its got would be a handy addition.

I have the Stanley 6-in-1 in the hutch drawer in the house. I love the thing. I don't like the typical "multi" driver that uses the little bits that always get lost or pull out of the magnetic socket. I like something that feels like a real screwdriver, and the Stanley does that perfectly.

I've got 2 coffee cans with various 5/6 in 1 screwdrivers on my bench at home. Lutz, Enderes, Easypower, Klein, Lenox, Channellock. I've also got a Klein 10 in 1 in my tool bag now. I have another Klein 5 in 1 in my desk at work.
The Klein stubby 6 in 1 is okay, but not US made which was a disappointment. I wasn't too impressed with the Milwaukee, the handle is too big. I took the ECX bit and put it in my Klein 10 in 1

My favorites are the Greenlee 9-In-1 or 6-In-1 as well as the Snap-On 4-In-1(SDDD41, I think), as far as quick multi-bit drivers to take with me on small/quick jobs.

I have a handful of ratcheting bit drivers from Snap-On, Wera, and Matco scattered through various tool boxes and bags as well.

Of them all, my favorite is the Matco labeled Witte ratcheting bit driver set: Item SPRBD, at over $300+ though, it is rather pricey.

I have a kobalt that I carry when I travel for work. It's nothing special, but it gets the job done. The ratcheting action on it was a little bit loose even brand new, but it hasn't gotten worse.

I have the stanley one also, would love to try a Klein 10 in 1.

For quick driving tasks or 'fault finding' there great if you need to use two different sizes dedicated drivers are much better, but these are great for pocket carry or if your doing a quick jobs.

Not too keen on ratcheting drivers if I'm honest

I have the klien 10-1 and it works well for what I need, got it at home depot with a gift card, i will say it is kind of overpriced.

Ive seen those picquic drivers want a stubby one haha

Seriously I love mine.

I have the Dash 7 and the Sixpac Plus. Awesome screwdrivers, and its virtually impossible to lose bits.

Large Snap-On set and six ratcheting screwdrivers in various sizes (straight handle and T handle). I almost never use conventional screwdrivers, now.

I have three kits with a combined total of around 200 bits. This includes all the slotted and Philips sizes, torx, hex, square... I've got it all covered. The bits are all around 62HRC, so I doubt they'll wear out anytime soon.

The original Philips bit from 20 years ago that started it all is still in service.

 

[scylla]

I use a Klein 10in1, and its just OK.

I would like to find a handle that would accept power screwdriver bits, of which I have a ton. They are all too short for the Klein.

There is some pretty neat stuff on that Picquic site! Custom drivers, very cool!

 

[illmatyk]

I have a Gearwrench ratcheting bit driver that I use when I do some interior work on cars. I also have a Benchtop and another no name brand that came with the tool sets that I bought/was given to me.
