Glad to hear you mention the possibility of the overmolded rubber separating. That was the first ting that caught my eye and crossed my mind when the video started. Let that Quinn catch the faintest whiff of hydraulic oil or coolant and the rubber layer is going to turn into a loose blister. It may be a good buy for average home use, but it's likely not going to stand up to industrial use.

I used it last night to rebuild a carberator, the carb cleaner, gas, and aerokroil did a number on the rubber. It has not separated yet...but feels....funky. In a month or so I will do a update video on this (and my iFix it vs Quinn video) to see how they perform over longer period of time. Yes for average indoor use this is fine, but this isn't the best for your money.

Thanks for the review!

Yea Klein Tools have a tendency to do that…when I was field service I would have a pink stripe on my good tools.

Mike That is a great review Quinn Vs Klein point well taken

I have many Klein bits. Will they fit in the Quinn shaft?

All the bits from my Klein 11 in 1 for the Quinn.

Any chance the shaft of the Quinn would fit in the handle of the Pittsburgh 4 in 1 screwdriver? If it did that would give you a frequent supply of replacement handles, since the Pittsburgh 4 in 1 comes up fairly often as a free give away at Harbor Freight.

It likely will. It’s 13.4mm. I will need to get the Pittsburgh to verify. Good thought!

I just tried it and the Quinn shaft is too large to fit the Pittsburgh handle. However, this weekend Harbor Freight has one of their coupons for 30% off for items $10 or less, so I got the Quinn for $7 @@RetroTechorDie

Milwaukee has one for $12 right now. I might go with that

I had a cheap one from the dollar store but that broke a few days ago. So I am currently doing research. 🙂

Well, philosophy of use make a huge difference. If one were to buy a single multi-bit screwdriver for techy work I suppose your review is valid.. However, a mechanic, electrician, or plumber may have a vastly different perspective. The handles may not make much of a difference taking an appliance or printer apart; However, when you're under a piece of machinery in a 100 degree boiler room with sweaty palms trying to loosen a hose clamp you can barely reach.... Yeah that fatter,, grippier, knobby overmolding is going tp be a blessing. "A couple extra bucks," as you say is actually 50% more. Rounded $10 and $15. You stated that you have several of the Kline tools. Consider you could have 3 Quinns for every 2 Klines you own. In quantity it makes a significant difference. Quinn screwdrivers are progressively replacing my 30+ year old made in the USA Acetate Handled Craftsman screwdrivers, because I can torque down much harder without slippage. I currently have them in my car kit, go bag, and main tool cabinet. I've never had the overmolding separate on any of them. In the unlikely event that did ever happen I could get it replaced on the spot at any Harbor Freight in the country. Kline has been removed from Home Depot. Hopefully Lowe's will do an exchange on a HD receipt. The reasons the handle stays in your pocket are: 1. The Quinn handle is much bigger, therefore it's tighter in the pocket. 2. The rubber overmolding is much grippier than the Kline's so it doesn't slide as easily. Obviously the detent bearing won't overcome that much resistance, so it's hardly the main culprit. It's actually a bad habit to have a screwdriver sticking out of a back pocket point up, IMO. But that's just me. You may agree someday when a couch cushion or car seat gets ripped open.
