Best 6-in-1?: Power Tools & Hand Tools

, I collect 6-in-1 screwdrivers (8-in-1, 11-in-1, etc.). I like having a tool that I can use to solve most projects quickly. I know that having "a tool" defeats the purpose of having many. That being said, I think this might be the best multi-purpose screwdriver I currently own and it's definitely the best bang for the buck. The handle is very comfortable and extremely durable. It doesn't have the oddly shaped Milwaukee or the newer Stanley. It's a solid acetate and won't fall apart like Harbor Freight. My dog could use it as a chew toy and it would still be whole. There's some play or wobble when the tool is gripped, but it's not too noticeable when using a screwdriver. The shank/key is heat treated steel and looks pretty darn solid. The wrench on my Klein 11-in-1 was bent the first time I used it, but it looks like the ChannelLock will last the rest of my life. The beats themselves look insanely well made. These are without a doubt the best beats of any set or brand I own. As with any X-in-1 tool, if there's a fault with this tool, it's in the ball bearing. If that bearing pops off the spring behind it, it's almost game over. The ChannelLock bearing shows no indication that it is not up to standard, but this only shows long-term use and time. Best of all, it's made in the USA and will cost you less than $9. Simply order now!
