I know this video was about "regular" screw drivers, but I really like Wiha pocketmax electric (45296) handle and slimbits. Handle stores 4 bits, which seems to be the sweet spot, as many such bit storage drivers have way too much stuff in them and becomes too thick to really use. Pocketmax feels like a regular driver. If the 75mm bit lenght is too short for you, just add an extension. It wont even get sloppy, as the bits are tight. Another really nice feature is the magnetic end cap that stores the bits, which spins easily, even when you add some pressure to keep the bit in the screw. Quick spinning with nice feeling seemed to be a big part of the video and with that spinning end cap and round handle, it's really good. I do have regular drivers for things that I do a lot, but with having two pocketmax-drivers I actually get to carry 10 bits in a space smaller than two regular drivers and with that, two "special" bits ready to go. Now I have always with me at least T15, T20, T25, SL-PH1, SL-PH2 (not sure, these might also be PZ, but the fit most of the mcb:s, plc:s, etc) and some hex. Pretty sure I would have to run back to my car for most of those otherwise, now those stay in my pocket. When googling for that thing, there seems to be a lot of different type drivers in the results. The one I refer here is the one with bits coming straight out with the end cap, not the ones where the bits fan out. I'm not saying that those would be bad, pocketmax electric just seems to be right tool for the job. I wish those would come in multiple colors for easier recognizing.
I personally really love the bahco Ergo slim screwdrivers. Best designed screwdrivers in my opinion. They are thinner in design compared to most screwdrivers and they have a nice rubber material. It's really handy when trying to unscrew or screw something really quick.
Its got to be a lot more expensive to make all those different sized handles too, that means separate production lines as well as custom molds, all of which add considerable cost.
I think the reasoning is that you got to about the right torque by intuition. Having large handle with a small bit would make it too easy to break the driver or the screw. And everything works like it should with right screws, it's the stubborn ones with broken threads or wrong sizing of screws for the job which make you want to apply more torque. It's almost never the drivers fault. And it's faster to spin the smaller handle.
Very solid opinions and actually contains important data kudos for the individuals believe it or not you can save money that way from some sites, times of year ,brand etc.i saw witte and wera for cheaper as individuals and insulated felo
Since you seemed to maybe like the wera but the size of handle grips changes. And you definitely liked the Klein. I believe you should still (make a video) give your full take on the Kraftform vde compact 26 piece and compare it directly to Klein.
I've tried about all of these. I was disappointed with the knipex, not bad drivers, and not sure what I expected, but disappointed 🤷🏻♂️ I keep going back to Klein
@shadygunshow I think its just from using them primarily for so long. I do have some Wiha drivers, and I do like them.. I almost feel like I'm cheating on my Kleins 😂🤦🏻♂️
Knipex isn't well known for amazing screwdrivers and there made by witte Germany. Them along with fluke are considered products that are rebands that arnt amazing.
I have witte screwdrivers and there good German screwdrivers remind me of gedore insulated chunky handles. Now that you've cruised through most of the German brands gedore insulated have huge handles may be up your alley.

Great review
Appreciate it!
That little driver is good for those small, Euro style, terminal blocks.

In the end kept it simple. Love it.

Thanks! It would be nice you have all 1handle size of the most commonly used drivers for all brands

@tannerwharton4670 i will look into it right now thanks
Nobody likes that thing. That’s for low volt nerds and guys that like Tour de France
@shadygunshow lmao appropriate response. I checked them out the handle looks small i might get it. Not sure yet
@@shadygunshow okay bro
I've tried about all of these. I was disappointed with the knipex, not bad drivers, and not sure what I expected, but disappointed 🤷🏻♂️ I keep going back to Klein
I don’t know why you don’t use Wiha. Big handed dudes LOVE them and I have small hands and can’t find a better screwdriver. Not even close.
@shadygunshow I think its just from using them primarily for so long. I do have some Wiha drivers, and I do like them.. I almost feel like I'm cheating on my Kleins 😂🤦🏻♂️
Valid points, prefer Klein….want to like the Wera but don’t like the handle grip.
Why not Wiha? This is almost the only set of tools he’s completely right about
What do you think of the Klein demolition drivers?
I like it but, I tried to buy another set and they have not been at my local Lowe's for 2 months
They are good. Like the flared out end 👍
And we got sooo many screwdrivers its crazy, lol

@@MattHmm-rq6dn that explains that.

I think these new ones are truly made by Knipex
Change the title
ill have my people call yours
Its so funny u bought that Knipex set of screw drivers. I got that set with my 10 piece set of Knipex 9k 98 98 30
