Killer Multibit: Power Tools & Hand Tools

I've used dozens of ratchet screwdrivers, and while they're handy in a pinch, they always wobble (which I hate). !) and thick due to the need to hold the racquet. This is by far the most amazing thing, now I have one for work and one for home. Pros: - Not as wobbly as most ratchet screwdrivers I've used. - Narrow long blades are unique and sometimes required for the deep, narrow holes sometimes found in plastic device or PC cases (e.g. a small heater I need to clear dust build-up). clearly labeled so you never mix them up (just don't take out more than one :) - No caps to lose and no blades to fall out. - The blades fall straight into your hand when spent, unlike some that use hard rubber grips. A half turn of the gray selector locks any unused blades - 12 different attachments of different types and sizes, well done! - Six holders in total, as each blade has double ends, but each blade has two different types, so you never have them, don't mix them up. Perfect solution! Cons: - They are stuck with the set of blades that comes with them and they don't sell other sizes in this unique shape. I'd like more complete sets, maybe just Phillips and flat, or maybe a set of 6 hex and 6 torx. - You cannot use standard bits from your collection for the same reason (yes!) - Narrow blades are not that strong, so they are not suitable for tightening in difficult conditions. I wouldn't recommend using blades in a drill/screwdriver. I don't use this every day so can't comment on durability but I have two now and both seem to be durable. I can understand that the gray dial can wear out and not stay in place and everything is glued together beyond repair.
