I’ve used Klein’s X-in-1 multi-bit screwdrivers, and they offer good quality at reasonable price points. This isn’t the best multi-bit screwdriver of its kind, but it works well, is easy to spot in a mess of tools or in a household junk drawer, and is nicely priced at under $10.

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. The bits are double-ended as well, with ball detents for retention. It’s a removable shaft screwdriver, as are several of the recommendations here, which means the entire shaft is itself a double-ended tool. I bought one of these Irwin multi-bit screwdrivers years ago (at least 7), and it’s continued to serve me well for casual and unexpected fastener loosening or tightening needs. This model comes with a carrying pouch, for belt storage. It’s priced at around $30-35, which isn’t too bad if you consider how much just the Rapidaptor bit holder costs separately – $21 via Amazon. Here’s a somewhat recent discussion of the Wera Kraftform Kompakt 25. It’s a tad wide and bulky, but not so much as to be a deal-breaker. Let’s not forget the ergonomic shape of the handle. This one can be locked in two places (recessed and extended), and can also be used in a completely separate tool, such as a cordless drill. Then there’s the extendable and even removable rapidaptor locking bit holder. Rapidaptor-equipped bit holding screwdrivers are among the best locking screwdrivers I’ve found. Its bit cartridge is in the middle of the tool, and is accessed via spring-loaded release hatch. The Wera Kraftform Kompakt 25 multi-bit screwdriver is an unusual beast. Should anything ever happen to my PB Swiss Insider, I’d buy another one without hesitation, with a blue, yellow, or black-colored handle.Īlthough the price seems steep, much of the cost is tied to the extremely high quality screwdriver bits.īuy Now(via Amazon) Wera Kraftform Kompakt 25

I’ve lusted after some of those models for a while, but with my Insider 1 still going strong, I can’t justify an upgrade just yet. There are other versions of the Insider, but they cost quite a bit more. The bit cartridge holds 10 precision bits, and screws into the Insider’s handle for secure storage. The PB Swiss Insider is compact and built with a strong magnetic bit holder.

You can find PB Swiss tools through a couple of independent USA distributors, but the last I checked shipping is only free if you order from Amazon, and that only applies to Amazon-fulfilled tools. Mine isn’t yellow, it’s red, but right now only the newer colors are available on Amazon with free shipping.

It’s also one of my most favorite EDC tools, screwdrivers, and even one of my most favorite tools, period. The PB Swiss Insider is one of the first tools I ever reviewed here on ToolGuyd. Multi-bit screwdrivers have on-board bit storage, making them somewhat self-contained screwdrivers without the need for loose bits and pieces, bit holders don’t. Keep in mind that we’re only focusing on multi-bit screwdrivers here, which are differentiated from bit holders. Sometimes a design is just so convenient and superior that it’s worth dealing with proprietary or hard to find replacement bits. Generally, I prefer multi-bit screwdrivers that work with standard 1-inch screwdriver bits.
