Screwdrivers are almost as indispensable as knives these days. I can’t imagine not having one at least close by, and for that I almost exclusively carry the technician screwdriver from County Com. And it is probably the most useful “small enough to EDC” screwdriver around, but it has some bad shortcomings, mainly torque for which it simply has none.
So my latest EDC quest is for the perfect screwdriver. I have searched high and low, but, nothing I have found actually hits the target perfectly.
Before I get into some details what do you think would be the perfect all in one screwdriver?
For me it has to be :
- Compact
- auto loading / or in body bit storage
- high quality with good grip and finish
- about 6-8 switchable/ reversable bits (so 12-16 in total)
- decent to high torque
- fits 98% of all torque, flat head, phillips screws and maybe a hex or two
For those also looking here is what I have found so far that kind of look close:
