What Multi Bit Screwdriver does Linus use?

[FrenchToast]

Hi guys,

 

I was just wondering what screwdriver Linus uses? I'm planning on buying a multi bit screwdriver, and it seems that Linus's has served him well.

Any suggestions for other decent screwdrivers (with magnetic tip) would be appreciated, too. Thanks lads!

I don't know the exact name but here is what I google to find it: "Snap-On Orange ratcheting magnetic screwdriver".

 

There's also his iFixit kit, which you probably know.

you could try this....not a personal recommendation as I have never used it, but seems to have good reviews on Amazon:

Do you know if the iFixit screwdrivers have magnetic tips?

If you want the exact one linus has it's a snap on ratcheting multi-bit driver, others lower cost solutions out there will do a very similar job also:

Found a link to the Oz store which may be a bit more helpful as only just realised your not in the UK 

 

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=634146&group_ID=675083&store=australia&dir=catalog

 

Only $143.09.... sure if you find a hardware store around you then you can find it cheaper...well at least I hope 

 

Just tried that link with a UK version of the store and the price is a bit more on the realistic side at £63.96

Sure if you use your normal local shopping outlets you will find it cheaper as over 50 bucks for a screwdriver is a little bit killer if you ask me, although as they say, buy cheap, buy twice....

Thought it went elsewhere because its to do with tools to build a computer. Sorry about that

I have the 123-PC. 1/4" Hex Drive Mac-Grip Ratcheting Bit Driver Set. It's better value than the Snap-On because it includes pretty much any bit you could ever want. Mac Tools is another very trusted company among professional mechanics and techs.
