Got the sixpaq plus in the mail and can't wait for it to arrive! All it's missing is an ECX bit, since I tighten couplings constantly. I found some 3.5" bits with the same shank size, and some in 2" but none in exactly 3 inch, like the sixpaq uses. Will there be a little extra room to store the 3.5" bit in the handle the same way as the rest of them? Or should I use the 2", and if so, will the 2" be long enough to still get pushed out by another oem bit?
Watched a little further into the video... I am a career electrician, and have always used the Klein multi tools. Is the square bit that comes in these considered a "real Robertson" or are they also the knockoffs? They do seem a little rounded compared what I'm seeing on your video. For what it's worth, the lack of torque and grip in my square #2 is the reason I wanted to try ECX bits.... But if the Canadian robby solves the problem, then I won't even need to mess with the eca
PS the reason I looked for alternatives like picquic is because Klein multi tools tend to rust weld after a few months of daily use, at least here in Houston where it's humid all the time.. their pliers are the best (and only need oil when you don't use them often lol) but I've been disappointed with the multi tools
Not to take anything away from PicQuic because I am going to buy a set. But I heard a auto mechanic say that carb. Cleaner ( acetone) will attack the plastic handles. So just a word of caution. Great video, thank you very much. I didn’t know about Japanese bits or real Robertson bits.
For electrical work, Klien's combo bit #1, #2 are good. And Milwaukee has ECX bits #1,#2 for the drill. These are my go 2, because yes they don't slip, and two multidrivers basically suck altogether. The Klein's fixed shaft is far superior than any wobbly replaceable but driver.
I've had no issues with the Picquic's, they are solid screwdrivers. I do plan on getting Milwaukee ECX bits, as I had mentioned in the video. I find the Robertson bit does fit nicely with a lot of electrical work I've done.
The older versions were better, there was a ball bearing held by a sleeve that held the bit in place. I’m not a fan of the new magnetic version. Unfortunately I’m down to my last ball bearing screwdriver. Been using PicQuic for about 25 yrs

I have the 3 piece kit and I love it. They are great screwdrivers and simple to use I'm definitely buying more for myself and as gifts.
I've got many screwdrivers from both US & Taiwan and they fit tightly in screws if you use the right screwdriver size .I've never had a problem
Thanks for the review! I'm going to be getting myself a 3 piece kit.

Good thing I only use them really for IT work and Electrician work.
That will melt most acetate based handles (Craftsman)

Any rust issues?

I haven't had any issues with bits falling out or anything, they are still solid Made in Canada screwdrivers.
umm uhhh ugh hummmmm
A guys gotta think so he don't mis-speak.
