Review on 🔧 Spec Ops Tools Stubby Screwdriver, 9-in-1, with 4 Double-Sided S2 Steel Bits, Magnetic, 3% Charity Donation to Veterans, Black/Brown by Josh Sheehan

In the picture I show this screwdriver below and 5 other short screwdrivers above. You can see that from the end of the handle to the tip of the bit it's slightly shorter than the Craftsman models (old enough to be made in the USA), whether Philips or Splined. The Stanley ratchet is significantly longer but also has bit storage in its grip. Stanley also has the largest grip, which offers the most torque. In the vast majority of cases, the reason for using a short screwdriver is that there is no room for a long handle. It's rare that you'll also need a thin handle, and in any case, a thin handle makes it difficult to apply a specific torque to loosen or tighten a screw. Given this, and given the short handle of a short screwdriver, the ideal short screwdriver would have a handle the size of a Stanley circle, but shaped more like the handles on the Craftsman models. Because you can use different bits like the Stanley with this screwdriver, you have the option of getting slightly shorter bits, so the overall length is another half inch shorter. So you can have something about 3/4 inch shorter than the vaunted Craftsman models, allowing you to use it in very tight spaces. Too bad they didn't make the handle thicker. This instrument was made in Taiwan. While not made in the USA, you can bet it's better made than the vast majority of Chinese made instruments. I say this from the experience of using many instruments made in different countries over a period of more than 4 decades.
