  • @simonh6371
    @simonh6371 Рік тому +8

    Great review with a lot of good options.
    On the point made by others about carrying a ''real tool'', I looked into this myself and found a couple of good options for pocket carry. For pouch/kit/bag carry there are a ton of stubby ratcheting screwdrivers out there with bit storage in the handle, by Wera and Wiha for example, or without bit storage in the handle, I bought a nice little Anex (Japanese brand) ratcheting stubby, which comes with a double ended slotted/PH2 (JIS) bit and is compatible with all 1/4 in / 6.3mm bits and extenders, but these stubbies aren't really suitable for pocket carry for me at least.
    The Wera 813 is about the size of a Bic lighter at just over 3 in long (78mm to be precise) and is the smallest Wera bit driver handle, very light, but pretty high quality and capable for it's size. Fits nicely into the 5th pocket of jeans. Costs around $10 in the US.
    Another one but it's a bit larger and weightier, but still easily pocketable, is the Hazet 810BHK which has a locking mechanism, again in the US you can get them for around $10.
    Finally the Sabrecut Mini Ratchet is very pocketable at under 4 inches and has an inline bit holder too. Also sold under the Sealey brand here in the UK. Although this one isn't a ''top'' quality brand like PB Swiss, Anex, Wera, Hazet etc. it's still probably just as good quality as the Topeak or Oknife products, and dare I say it better quality than CRKT driver, or the Lever Gear Bitvault.

    I keep a PB Swiss insider (PB 6464) in a Maxpedition Micro. Fits perfectly and is seriously small. It the same footprint as the Knipex cobra 125s (aside from depth which is about the same as a Sofirn edc flashlight. Surprised it isn't mentioned more. Stores 8 bits inside too. Love it! It may even be smaller than the stubby you mentioned both in length and thickness.

    Great job! How did I miss this video when it came out? I LOVE the 711L Lollipop. Perfect pocket screwdriver for me. I don't need the onboard storage as the Steinwhale bit kit is so small and well marked. Those Steinwhale bits fit perfectly in the Lollipop.

  • @ptstouring49
    @ptstouring49 Рік тому +1

    PB Swiss 6464 is still my jam. Can’t say the ratcheting adds much to the subby and the regular PB Swiss stubby is really light, but I like the handle material on the 6464. Been trying to carry my curl, but I just find it too heavy a lot of the time so I carry one of my benchmades and the only screwdriver I have is the tiny one on my jet setter (modified with the light from a signature light).

    Have you ever tried the Vim Tools HBR3? I ended up trying it from some old guy that came up and I was using my multitool pliers and a bit to tighten a car alternator screw and he gave me the wrench and told me to put my bit in it and I was able to use the ratchet side to snug the screw and then the box end to tighten the screw really tight. He said since I was helping someone and I scratched up my knuckles, just keep the wrench. It's an amazing bit wrench.

    Ol reliable for me is either the milwaukee fastback 6 in 1 or the leatherman removable bit adapter that i use with my modded Surge that has the supertool's phillips driver. Both are great because they take standard 1/4" bits, leatherman flat bits, or wiha double sided bits (which is my edc preference). Also a special shout out to the BID EDS 2 and their Bit Bar Inline.

    Why would anybody ever use precision bits? (except if your job calls for them) I’ve had the same set for 50 years and only used one once. I absolutely loved the Hoto screwdriver set, the innovation and quality looks great, but for a tool I can’t ever see the need for…
    In everyday life and for edc they seem totally pointless. The Victorinox bit wrench with 10 onboard bits plus a small tin I carry with around 40 more 1/4” inch bits covers anything I’m likely to come across in real life, Phillips, pozidrive, standard flats, torx, Allen keys.
    Really baffles me why people edc precisions🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

    • @blastblast4627
      @blastblast4627 4 місяці тому

      I think my guess is that most folks who are carrying these types of items everyday, are knife and/or gun enthusiasts or are complete geeks with some amount of crossover between the lists obviously.
      I think we all carry the bits that we need in any given scenario along with a few other popular sizes just in case.
      But if I need a full size screwdriver and/or larger bit, odds are I'm going to my toolbox for that. Simply because, that is the right tool for the job.
