Thank you for the review. I have been using this tool for about one week. There are a few things worth mentioning: 1) Bit storage compartment. The tunnels through which the bits are inserted into the handle for storage have a molded internal "ring" design that holds the bits in place pretty tightly. The advantage is that the bits will not fall off the tunnels on their own. The disadvantage is that the bits may be a bit difficult to remove off the tunnels. 2) When sitting in the handle storage compartment, the back end of the bits sit deeper than the end of the handle, which means that the bits will not poke out into the palm of your hands. 3) The bits are 90mm long and can be replaced with 90mm long bits from other brands. I only wish that there would be an option to purchase this tool without the bits.

These are all very good points to bring up. The idea of selling the body only so you can customize it more to your liking would be pretty sweet. Thanks John 👍🏻

I just got the 11 in 1. But I didnt know that you could use different brand 90 mm bits. That is pretty much a game changer because it allows you to customize it. I would definitely swap some of them out for the perfect combo when I need it.

Got it! Love it!

I dont use the stuff in the handle much. I actually like to use it at work to drive small sockets. We use lotsa 10mm and it's perfect for them.

Watched the 5min to see how to take out / secure the bit. Didn’t catch it. Anyone? Does it just sit there or do I lock it in somehow?

Number 9 is the electrical wire bender

nice i use mine around the house & where things need help with .

Great review

Thanks for the review. Looks great but it is indeed disappointing that there are so many flathead bits and zero torx.

I ended up purchasing Milwaukee's compact ratcheting driver, which IMO has a better selection of bits that come with it.

I have this and the only thing that drives me nuts is sometimes you have to get a knife or something to push the bit down out of the handle, they get stuck in there

I usually like to keep one bit installed at all times and whenever I need to switch, I just use the head of the bit I'm about to swap out to push the one I need out of the handle.

we need it star head Phillip and straight screw bit to open boiler casing

The bit fall out of the screwdriver when in the use position

I was going to buy thus but the kobalt one was way better for me. The bit storage is easy to store and it feels way more durable.

That's why I'm here because I saw reviews that the Kobalt brand isn't very good

Put a dab of fair washing up liquid in the top of screwdriver compartment. Let it dribble down and they come out easy

Wow! This actually works! Thanks!

I just bought the stubby and 9 in 1 combo. One small thing I found was annoying was the stubby and 9 in 1, you have to turn the locking mechanism for ratcheting one way for the stubby and the opposite for the 9 in 1. Why wouldn't you make it so they function the same? 🤷‍♂️

Ahhh. I noticed the same. I thought mine was just defective..

i guess in different parts of the world it will have different bits ...in the UK we don't have the square bits and Philips are not as popular as Pozi drive ...a quick google shows we have Bit Types: PH1 / PH2 / PZ1 / PZ2 / TX15 / TX20 / Slotted 0.8 x 5.5 mm

Alright you put me over the edge I went out and got one! I often use a ratcheting screwdriver and have had several The only thing I don’t like about it is the way the bits don’t lock in. I also have the husky version and the bits fall out in the slot of my tool bag Hopefully won’t have the same problem with this one

You could just use the removed bit to push the new bit out of the handle.

There is a Loop maker hole for wire. That’s where they get the 9th. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Kind of a stretch, but I have actually used it a few times installing outlets.

Did you count the hex bit driver of not putting any bit in at all?

No star, it’s a no for me

The one thing I don’t hear here, is the use of “torx” bit… not star head… cmon my guy 😂

Lol very true. 😉 Finally someone caught it. What’s the saying “Tomatoe, Tomato?” 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's a nice design, but the ratchet breaks easily leaving the tool utterly useless.

Alan bits would have been vastly more practical than square...
