How to choose the Best Screwdriver

Ratchet It Up and Add Multi-Bits

Contact us to discuss your requirements of screwdriver supplier. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

You will face jobs that require the use of a &#;hand-powered&#; screwdriver, but also demand speed and torque. How do you get as much speed and torque from your screwdriver without resorting to battery power?

The simple answer is to use a ratchet screwdriver that uses multi-bits.

A ratchet screwdriver with a good, solid mechanism will allow you to turn screws with greater speed and higher torque. This will still give you hand-control over the application. Look out for mechanisms in the ratchet screwdriver. These allow you plenty of control over the torque as you tighten or loosen.

Pay attention to the manufacturing of bar and tip of your screwdriver. Look for chrome vanadium steel as this is both strong and corrosion-resistant. Sand blasted tips provide a secure grip in the slot or recess of the screw head.

Bits are important to consider also.

Rather than fiddling around with several different screwdrivers according to the sort of head fitted on them, a multi-bit screwdriver is supplied with interchangeable adaptors that magnetically hold a variety of bits, from standard 1/4&#; hex drive Phillips to 1/4&#; hex drive torx.

Keeping track of your multi-bits while on site may be tricky, so look for a ratchet screwdriver that has some sort of internal, or adequate, safe external, storage.

Here&#;s a great example of a multibit ratchet screwdriver to consider:

The screwdriver debate settled?

But I have seen those Milwaukee on sale for $20 thou. So at the deal price, Milwaukee is clearly the best bang for the buck.

I'd still go for Vessel. He only tested the Megadora. If you check the Vessel catalogue there's some 60 pages of different screwdrivers and handles.... He seems to have also overpaid them a bit, I bought my PH2 Megadora for 4&#;/piece and I prefer the crystaline hard handles which are about 3&#; per piece on Japanese Amazon (shipping was 15&#; but combined with a bunch of other stuff). I also have some Power grip Vessel screwdrivers, their top line models, which are around 7-9&#; per screwdriver.

I bet the Power Grip would withstand his tests way better, they're the most beefy screwdrivers I've ever seen. But I grab the crystaline most often cause of that too.

If you get 6 Milwaukee screwdrivers for 20$, that's a good deal also at around 3&#;/screwdriver. They seem nice (forged hex is unusual...). But I know I'd hate those handles!

PF is nice to watch but his prices are usually way off, especially for imported tools. Whole set of PB Swiss is 40&#; on German Amazon right now, 50&#; delivered to me. Those Milwaukee screwdrivers would end up costing me about the same if I bought them here!


I'm sure that if you search a bit, you can get the PB Swiss for comparable prices in the US too. For people in Germany they cost about 6-7&#; each.


Edit:
Yeah 48$ on amazon.com... PF paid 91$ for the soft grip handle version which IMO is worse to own anyway.


Do you think Milwaukee is the best for the money if the PB Swiss only costs 1$ or 1.5$ more per screwdriver (if they aren't on that 20$ sale)?
