I have three Wiha 26-in-1 screwdrivers. I've owned them since they were available in the UK (can't remember how long ago that was) and I haven't had any problems with them (jamming or loose bits). They are without doubt my go to screwdriver with 26 different bits to choose from (I've always got the bit for the job to hand). The quality that Wiha provides means the bits are as good as when I first got them and the housing in the handle makes it easy to find the bit I need for a job. They are expensive, but I don't mind paying for the quality that Wiha provides. I started with one and then quickly had to have them to hand wherever I was (hence the three screwdrivers). I would whole heartedly recommended them to others.
i went full ocd mode a few weeks ago trying to find the perfect multi-bit screwdriver, i looked at each model you talked about and then some, the rolgear, the wera kompakt, the megapro (channellock same) i wanted a ratcheting one, but most importantly like you mention 2 key factor that can be very frustrating, not being able to get in deep hole, and having the bit come off because of the magnetic retention, finally i went for the husky 12-in-1 Quick-Load Ratcheting Screwdriver. it stores the bits in the handle like the picquic, the ratchet is super fine and smooth, the bits are 3'' long, and the retention mechanism is with ball lock, that i havent seen on any other style (few manufacturer make that exact model but basically one model) you should try it out, i got it on sale for 15$ cad taxes included and its lifetime warrantied, hard to beat
Got my "OG" PicQuic Sixpac Super in 2005. It's the see-through blue, with yellow reverse silkscreen branding. Their new SixPac Super has white silkscreen. Man, mine's been used has a chisel (don't hate me), it's been used in an engine, on computers, for electrical, hanging photos, putting together IKEA furniture. EVERYTHING. Sucker still works, and only now, 15 years later, are the philips bits starting to be too worn down to use. I recently bought the SAE, Metric Hex and Torx set from Amazon, so I'll probably buy a new regular driver soon too. Now, since 2016, I've been working on smaller parts for computers (damned NVMe screws are a PH001!) so I've had to get a precision set, and went with an I-Fixit Manta set.
I agree. When I discovered Picquic products a few years ago, I bought pretty much every color and style and keep them everywhere. Car, boat, bicycle and on and on. Good quality tools. Thanks.
Picquic is the best. I've got one always at arms reach on my desk at all times (the slightly smaller multique), and the quality is soooo much better than most multibit screwdrivers
Picquics are ok i ve been using them for years. Only problem has been if you drop it too many times the outside of the sockets that hold the bits can crack. Once that happens it can actually pinch the skin of your palm. Which doesnt feel good at all !! Another tip is that you can chuck the bits in a drill or impact to drive the screws with power. Obviously you have to be careful not to strip the screws or the bits.
You should check out the Klein 15-in-1 Classic. It's a lot like that Wiha model you showed but (IMO) way better designed. I'm an electrician and it's probably one of my most used tools and has exceeded my expectations. The bits on it hold in place well and don't fall out of their holders and more importantly don't strip. Its so nice being able to confidently grab it, a flashlight and a couple pairs of pliers/strippers and being able to at least get started on pretty much any job. Also, gonna be honest, I like that Picquic a lot more than I thought I would from first looking at it! Very nice looking tool for 13 bucks.
These look pretty good, might get one for the car. My shop apron keeper is the Klein 11-in-1 which gives you an additional Torx and square drive and two additional hex nut drivers. It would be nice if you could pick and choose which bits come with this to customize it.
I'm a big fan of the Stanley 0-68-012 six way screwdriver. More often than not when I'm looking for a screwdriver I need either PH1, PH2 or a small/large slotted. Doesn't get those deep set screws though

How is the Husky screwdriver holding up?
What a great review. I've been watching them all day and this is by far the best.
I’d been looking at these previously. Your review persuaded me to finally place an order.
This was an awesome recommendation. It solves all the problems I’ve been having with my current tools!

I’m a fan of the Rolgear multi-bit silent ratchet screwdriver. Similar in design, but also incorporates a gearless ratchet mechanism.

I have a couple of the Picquic screwdrivers and I've got to say they are nicely made. The quality of the bits is readily apparent.

I received the three pack for Christmas and the screwdrivers are awesome! Very well made and I look forward to using them.
Well, once again you have assisted me in filling my tool box. Been looking for a good quality system like this.

What is the length of the Picquic with a shaft installed? I'm looking for something relatively small for my car's glove compartment.
I had a klien one which i really liked. This seems a little better with the long bit but not as many bits included.
Any rust with the picquic screwdrivers?
The orange one will get through that hole!
Very Cool ! Laszlo Montreal Photog.
Awesome. Thank you.
Excellent, now I know :)
Oh no! I have loose bits in my handle! 😭😭😭
6 shooter, check it out
Infomercial much?
