    Does anyone make a 3.5mm bit holder to fit in 1/4 hex screwdrivers. Milwaukee and Klein use 3.5mm bits not the 4mm standard that ifixit and wiha use

    out of all of the screwdrivers with this particular style (notably Bahco), which one do you prefer? I just got the stubby and the OEM Tool and I fell with them.

    Thanks for watching I generally prefer both the Bahco and the Oemtools version. There's minor differences between either just like other brands. It's the same factory or manufacturer in Taiwan just customized for the brand reselling it

    @@htr5372 Stahwille happens to be my least favorite of the bunch. You get just the bare bones, so the value is also not good. I also noticed that the ratcheting does not seem as refined even though they use the same mechanism. I am currently looking at the ones that are released in Japan under different brands such as Deen and Tone. Way better value with the Tone from the looks of it and what sets it apart is that "locking" bit holder.

    @@htr5372 Finally got my hands on the TONE set. I think you will like it as it feels an awful like the OEM. The difference is that the shaft is removable, which you might not like at first. It's not the 1/4 square, but rather a 1/4 hex shank with notches that is most likely designed for a ring. It takes a good effort to insert the shaft, but rock solid once the shaft is in. Remember you did a video reviewing the Stahwille stubby and you said you didn't like the fact that removable bit holder didn't have the magnetism to attract screws. Well, the TONE fixes that problem as it's able to pick up screws on either the stubby or the pistol grip version with any of their bit holders included in the set.

    two issues: Magnetic tip holder like wiha can pull tiny screws into the body if you accidentally put them near your work without a bit in them (be prepared to have your day ruined if you are on a job), I had to use super glue on the end of a toothpick to get a screw out of the handle on mine). Also, it would be nice to see how much play there is with an extension arm inserted like the ones that come in the various kits. I use Wiha and there is so much play (wiggle) with the extension in. Still looking for a more rigid holder...

    I understand that sometimes a dedicated screwdriver works OK, other times a bit holder is more versatile. I have both in my workshop and in my mobile tool set. There are occasions where a bit holder is too fat to fit and you reall have to use a dedicated screwdriver. I've also noticed that a good brand of screwdriver will resist wear a lot better than the average bit. For the bits that you use the most go ahead and buy the best quality you can find. However my most used screwdriver is a 6 in one screwdriver that contains 2 sizes of phillips and 2 sizes of staight slot. They are inexpensive, compact and carry my most used bits. So I have all 3 types in my workshop and in my mobile tool set, and at my desk I keep only the 6 in one type.

    The widemouth wrenches are a specialty product that is useful for home plumbing projects but not so useful for other use such as automotive use because the larger head is harder to fit into some places. I don't find that the plastic handle adds much to the usefulness of the wrench. I've used conventional wrenches with thin handles on very tight fasteners without any problem, only rarely was the thin handle a comfort issue. I would rather have just the metal handle because it is easier to clean.

    I have that anex. The spinning issue is pretty easy to solve, just turn it a thousand times or so with a drill. The cap is softer than the shaft so after turn it in a drill for maybe 30s, there will be some plastic burr on the lips of the cap. Just clean it with a small knife. Install the cap again, it would spin better. Do it again if you have to, but don't do it too much, the cap will come loose.
