Multibit screwdriver

[ion529]

Hey guys i'm getting pretty tired of having to route through my toolbox to find some tiny screwdriver so I thought I would invest in a multibit one.

 

Requirements:

 

- Multi-bit

- Magnetic

- Ratcheting

- It must come with a wide variety of bits including all sized Philips-heads, flat-heads, hex heads, Sockets and those wierd heads that I forget the name of (their like a six sided star),

- It needs to be compatible with extension bits to make it longer

 

any suggestions fitting the criteria are appreciated!!

The 123 piece Mac Tools bit driver is one of the best tools I have. I have both a 3 inch driver as well as a 12 inch driver as well.

Those would be 'Torx' bits, but there are two types, one type has an additional pin in the center to render it incompatible with normal Torx bits, these are called 'Torx Security' bits, however Torx Security bits are compatible with both standard and the security type, so a set of Torx Security bits will cover both situations

It's not that bad. $140 for the 123 piece bit driver. They have a 29 piece set which is only $50.

I would go with that but i'd probably never use 3/4 of it considering ill just be messing around with tiny little screws on phones and other hardware
