Haven't seen anyone discuss the new Picquic "The PIC".
I'm a fan of Picquic's multi-bit screwdrivers generally. They aren't PB Swiss, but aren't priced like it either. This one is a pocket-friendly shape and holds three bits.
Handle made in Canada, bits in Taiwan.
The 2" bits can be used with an impact driver. PHILLIPS #2, Robertson #2 and a 3/16" flat blade are included. Picquic bits are quite good in my experience.
Bits are retained in the handle by the O-rings. Certainly not fancy, but they don't fall out or rattle.
At the business end, the bit is retained by a magnet. The bits actually sit quite deep and the magent is strong.
Seems to me that double-ended bits would work fine too - no problem retaining a bit inserted backwards.
I'm guessing Picquic used single-end bits because the part they slot into is just plastic - the extra contact patch helps make it strong enough. The bits probably sit so deep for much the same reason. If you didn't over do it though, double-sided bits would be nice.
I like it. It's light and small, fits easily in my pocket, uses standard 2" power bits and cost $8.99 - Canadian. I might just screw on a pocket clip because, why not.
Most screwdrivers with full-sized bits are a bit too thick to comfortably pocket carry - or they're made of titanium in small numbers and ridiculously expensive.
