IDEALElectrical 35-688 21-in-1 Twist-A-Nut Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver

This driver has multiple bits to deal with various fasterner heads you may encounter while doing electrical installation and repairs. There are hex, torx, etceterras. The handle is wide enough for a good grip while supplying torque to the fastener especially during removal. The handle has another purpose as it doubles as tool to be use drive wire nuts use to join electrical conductors. The only drawback to to the driver is that the stem is a little to short to reach some fasteners that are in deep control boxes. You may need to keep a couple of longer screwdrivers in your electrical pouch. Overall, it is a good versatile driver.

This item has been part of my troubleshooting kit since it was first released. It's one of the few tools that is ALWAYS with me being used on the job. I work as a service tech and put my tools in hardcore situations in hard environments on a regular basis. The driver has never failed to work as designed.The ratcheting is a life saver sometimes.Really appreciate the 7/16 nut driverI love the fact that the bits arnt the tiny ones that always get lost or fall out.The bits are securely held in place whether in the carrier or in use.Almost every bit you need to get into electrical devices are included.Cons:Theres no 3/8 nut driver. I don't know why but every multi driver ive seen either has a 3/8 or 5/16 nut driver missing. Electricians need them both.Theres no 9/64 allen. Only an issue if you need to work on some limit switches, The t20 bit works in a pinch but you run the risk of stripping the screw or breaking the bit.The 7/16 driver isn't long enough to reach to the bottom of deep strut.All in all pretty minor cons.This is a the best driver for a trouble shooting electrician, bar none.

Highly recommend this tool. Well made and the ratcheting feature is nice. Bought this primarily for electrical work. The handle has a wire bending recess that puts a perfect hook on wire for terminal attachments, which speeds up outlet installations. Good variety of screw bit types and sizes, which are stored in the handle.

The 1/4 nut driver and ratching feature make this a good screew driver for taking the pecker head off a motor. The larger flat head make it easy to loosen the grounding screew and flip the pecker head if needed. I wish the bit in the handle were custom I dont use half of them and the cap that covers the bits has threads on it and when you are trying to loosen something up the end cap starts to loosen up.

I received what I ordered and it arrived on the day it was supposed to.The only thing I don't like about the product is the holders in the handle are too tight. It was extremely hard to get the other bits into it. It will require vice grips to get them back out. This is an issue with the product, not with the seller.

I'm an electrical apprentice and a few of the journeymen I work with chuckled when I told them I had bought a 21-in-1, but the same journeymen were pretty stoked when they realized they didn't have some of the tools needed for a task and my 21-in-1 saved us (me) a trip to the gang box. This tool has been pretty handy, especially for saving my hands from repetitive motion. It feels really solid and has some weight to it, so it might not be for everyone, but I don't feel like it weighs me down. Lots of bits to choose from which, for me, has been super helpful because I never know what I'm going to run into. And the wire nut twister has been saving my fingers.

Bought this for my son. He loves it. Uses it almost everyday at work. Very durable and handy. Definitely recommend!

I probably have six multiple bit screwdrivers with ratchet. I have two from Kobalt which are no longer made, one from Stanley, another offbrand in this one.I really like the KOBALT ratcheting multi-bit screwdriver. However, they have discontinued one of the models and the other one is apparently out of production.This one is very good. All the bits are in the handle. They snap in and out easily. Each bit holds into the screwdriver firmly and will not fall out.It has all the bits I need including optional torx. The other thing I look for is a ratchet that's easy to use. This one has not failed and takes a huge amount of torque without a problem.Not too big, has all the bits I need, the ratchet works great. The only negative I heard is that the tips are not magnetized. This can be a love-hate situation. Magnetic tips are nice until you're doing fine work and they keep on sucking up small screws that are in the vicinity.As someone else mentioned, simply get a small powerful magnet and put it near the bit and you will have a magnetized bitIf you get this one you will be unhappy. It may become your go to screwdriver for everything
