What's a good multi-bit (non-ratchet) screwdriver?

the_syco

Over in Canada, I had a Picquic SixPac, but I've since lost one of the bits, so looking to get something similar here. Need something strong, preferably not ratchet (as they tend to break when you use too much force), for getting really stuck screws out of equipment. Spotted this, but the handle doesn't seem to big, so don't think I'd get much of a grip from it.

I also need it to carry its own bits, so anything involving a case is not suitable, as I've found the case the easiest thing to lose

This comes close to what I'm looking for, but as far as I can see, it's a ratchet (have had a few ratchet devices lose their teeth after a few weeks of use).

why not replace just the bit.

Or

just order the same Screwdriver again.


Personally bit exchange screwdrivers arent screwdrivers to me, they are toys. Right screwdriver for each job i say.

OP I have the one you listed, think I paid £1 for it is a discount store (bought several) and tbh its rubbish. Handy for small jobs but doesn't even have a pozi 2 bit and I think you'd break it if given any abuse.

Edit> I've seen the Wera one in the local builders merchants and its a good solid piece of kit.


I've used the screw drivers on one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-17725t2-Army-Knife-Cybertool/dp/B0001P14YA/ for years and they take a lot of abuse and can be replaced.

Agree that if you like the handle part you could just get new bit

Here are few options, first has lots of bits, second has hex on shank so you can stick a spanner on to really torque it, third has nice long bits that seem to lock in might not be able to easily use other bits on it mind.
