Review on πŸ’‘ IRWIN Screw Guide Driver with Multi-Bit and Drive Sleeve - 1948776 by Arun Siddiqui

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great screwdriver but nowhere to put the bits!

More and more often I put a screw or two in the wall. If it's just a bolt, I don't want to go to my car and buy a Dewalt. I'm also not the type to build anything, so sometimes it takes me a minute to get the screw working. I thought it would be a good heavy duty screwdriver with a screw guide as a bonus. The fact that you can attach different bits makes it a versatile tool so I don't need more than one. I thought this would solve all my problems and it does the job perfectly. There is one big downside. Nowhere to put the beats! I've never bought a screwdriver with bits that don't have a place to insert. I have purchased screwdrivers that come with a separate small plastic bit tray. I had screwdrivers with a plastic part that snaps onto the screwdriver to hold the bits. I have the ones that are open at the end to hold the bits. This one has bits scattered throughout the pack and there is no place to put them! I almost downgraded it to three stars because it's completely ridiculous. At the very least it should have a rubber strip with holes to hold them together. The screwdriver would definitely get five stars if this problem were fixed. Doesn't look like a $3 blue light special! The tool compensates for this shortcoming. It's really strong. The metal screw guide is very durable and slides smoothly. The resin handle has a good weight. The rubber grip is ideal for transferring torque without slipping. The bits are magnetized but there is also a magnet to hold the bits. I only keep a full-size screwdriver in my computer/network bag. I'm replacing a pretty good one in my bag but this one is great! I am satisfied with this screwdriver. Let's see how long it takes me to lose one or two.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
