Channellock 131CB 13-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver | Multi-Bit Storage 1/4-Inch Nut Driver Quick-Load Handle with Cushion Grip 28-Tooth Ratchet Mechanism Provides up to 225 lbs. of Torque, Red

I really wanted to love this driver - the ratcheting mechanism is first class and the bit holder in the handle is great too. It has a nice grip and the included bits are a good start. Unfortunately, this driver cannot hold any other standard 1/4" bits because without the special Channellock bits with their ball-detent, the bits simply fall out. There is (apparently) some magnet in the shaft but I certainly didn't feel it with any of my bits. The other issue is that the Channellock bits are double ended and the bit holder is very deep to accommodate the bits. This is the second reason you can't use standard 1/4" bits unless they are at least 5cm (2") long. So, if you're hoping to use this with your own hex or torx or other bits, forget it. And if the bits wear out (as they tend to do), you're also in trouble. Those special bits are not easy to find. If Channellock made the bit holder more universal, this tool would be a 6 out of 5. As it is, I can only give it a 3/5

The internally stored bits makes it convenient to store.

I've had this for a few years now, and it's still working as well as the day I bought it. The bits are great quality, and haven't worn down with use. Most importantly, the ratcheting mechanism great. Not only is it easy to select (just hold the collar and twist the screwdriver in the direction you'll be screwing), but it hasn't broken or gone wonky like every other one I've owned. The in-handle bit storage is amazing and easy to use. There's not much else to consider. A few people seem bothered by the bits and rheir fitting not being standard, and the tip not being magnetized, but neither has bothered me at all. This is my forever screwdriver.

Nice

Effective and convenient. Had just the right security bits for my needs.
