Klenk Select-A-Bit Ratcheting SPEED Driver with 16 Bits - DA86450 Review

To replace its ten year ban, it lost two bits and the gearing doesn't work well when screwing. The new unit has improved bit gripping, end cap parking markers and a 4 speed gearbox works great. Very happy to finally bite the bullet and replace my old device.

I'm a big fan of this driver, the 4 to 1 gearing is really handy when removing or installing a lot of screws handle and some other components are made of the best plastic but they hold up well, for the price it's understandable, I'd happily pay more for one made of a more durable material. The bits that come with it are surprisingly strong too.

Have you ever wished you had a screwdriver that would make it easier for you to work with the long screws that hold electrical switches and sockets in place? Do you get frustrated trying to pull out those little pieces that are held in place, or do you lose them all the time? I'm not saying I haven't lost anything by using this tool, but no matter how many times I use it, it will definitely happen. I. preferably. It's made in the USA! >>>>>Go on, buy it, you will like…

I had a previous version of the DA86450 with a clear amber handle and couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy another one, especially at the promotional price. The one I received included an extra locking ring not shown in the photos. The magnetic retention system works well, but it's great to have an extra layer of protection to reduce the chances of falling/losing (especially on stairs). I have found that the action improves with use, so this tool should be used frequently in order for it to…

The Klenk Select-A-Bit SpeedDriver sets itself apart from other multi-bit screwdrivers. It's durable, with hardened steel heads that won't wear out for a long time. The bits are very easy to change and the clear plastic handle makes it easy to pick up the right bit. However, the best thing about this little gem is the ratchet. I can screw better with it than with any cordless screwdriver I've tried. The handle is large enough to hold firmly without being overly heavy, and the speed ratchet…

I'm a network engineer and I have a complete separate tool bag with all my tools and equipment. Unfortunately, the unexpected often happens and I don't have a tool bag. Now I keep this screwdriver in my laptop bag. I chose it for bit selection (there's also a PH3 bit that works well for network rack screws), a ratchet, and it also has a speed screwdriver. It should be noted that a speed screwdriver works well with loose screws. An example would be installing a rack on top of a network switch…

I really can't say enough good things about this tool. I used to have a SmartPro Tools SPT 3000-B 13 speed speed driver set. Last week I dropped it 2 feet on the sidewalk and it broke. I was very disappointed as I like the low torque gear design (saves a bit of time on long mounting bolts). I decided to replace it but luckily before I clicked order I saw a review of this competitive Klenk product. I particularly took note of an article in Popular Mechanics that mentioned the Klenk survived a 6…
