Review on πŸ”§ Channellock 131CB 13-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver: Multi-Bit Storage, Nut Driver, Quick-Load Handle, 225 lbs. of Torque by Rudy Hilmy

Excellent! in Screwdrivers & Wrenches

The quality of the Megapro/Channellock ratchet screwdrivers seems to have improved a lot compared to last year when I bought the 7 in 1 Compact and the 13 in 1 Automotive. They're good riders, but their waves are loose, shaky and rattling. The Channellock driver I received today does not rattle and the shaft has little movement. Direction selection (left, locked, right) is clearer and greatly improved. I am very happy with this Channellock screwdriver. I don't use Torx and Robertson bits so I replaced them with a Megapro metric hex bit set. Unfortunately, their sizes were chosen in the most unreasonable way. In all the 50 years of my professional life I have never seen a screw with a 5.5 mm hexagon socket. The sizes 2 x 2.5 mm, 3 x 4 mm and 5 x 6 mm made more sense. Holding this screwdriver in my hand makes me wonder if SO's famous ratchet screwdriver, which costs twice as much, could be better than this channellock. The SO screwdriver compartment holds only four bits and has a vintage screw cap. Compare this to Channellock/Megapro's smart beat storage.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Vanish
