Klein Tools 32593 6-in-1 Stubby Multi-bit Ratcheting Screwdriver

This little guy is one of my favorite tools, everybody with a toolset should have one of these in their arsenal. It's already inconvenient when you have to use a stubby screwdriver because there is not enough clearance for a full size screwdriver but, the ratcheting feature of this gem takes the sting out of having to work in a tight space. The features of the 5/16 and 1/4 inch nut drivers is a nice touch. This is the perfect companion to the Klein full size ratcheting screwdriver. I work at different locations and I make sure I have one of these at each location, I highly recommend this product.

I love this little guy. It's easy to drop in my pocket while I'm doing maintenance, so it's always there when I need it.

I got this specifically for using inside computer cases. So far so good. There's not a lot of room for regular sized screwdrivers in PC cases and on top of that I mostly use smaller cases. I recently upgraded a case as well as a bunch of fans (after the case and it worked well in even tighter quarters) so it came in very handy. The ratching option was very useful in some instances. Outside of tight spaces, sure a regular driver is preferred due to having better leverage but you don;t always have that luxury. In theses cases it's great to have this lil guy (or gal!). NOTE: This isn't explained too well on the packaging but for the nut drivers take out the flat head/philips bits and what that fits into is the hex driver. You can see that the center of each flat/philips bit is a different size. Too clever for me for a few minutes!

I bought this because I saw a video for assembling an unrelated product and the person in the video was using a small ratcheting screwdriver. Truthfully with all the screwdrivers I already have i probably didn't need this but after having it a short time I have already used it three times. Goes to show you can never have too many tools. I know Klein Tools as I have several of theirs and they have all been very high quality like this small ratcheting screwdriver is. A really good purchase.

I saw reviews indicating poor quality, I got mine sold and shipped from Amazon and it seems fine to me. It has good heft in the hand and doesn't feel like your average cheap made in Taiwan even though that's where it's made. Despite the decent quality, I am not fully under the illusion that this is a tool that will last a lifetime or I'll be handing it on. The real question is will it more than pay for itself, and the answer for most is yes. I've had it for a few months, it's very handy, saves time, energy, and improves the quality of the work because of better control. Really excels for around the house stuff and is very efficient. It makes sense why I've observed a lot of electricians carrying this brand. This is probably not a tool for those that abuse their tools, work in corrosive environments, or that have giant hands. The mechanism is a little loud like another review indicated. The tool makes it clear it likes its bits best. The grip is comfortable which makes it more vulnerable. If anything changes or I find a ratcheting stubby that is way better I will update this review.

Love this little screwdriver. The action is really smooth, switching directions is effortless and the weight is just right. The only problem I found was that it was near impossible to grip and remove the shaft. Because it’s polished smooth and you only have about 1/2 inch of gripping surface, if you have even the slightest bit of sweat or oil on your hands it’s impossible to pull out. I had to use the leather from my belt to wrap around it so I could get a decent grip.

I have the full sized Klein ratcheting screw driver with the bit storage in the handle. In comparison to that one, the ratcheting on this stubby is so much better. Way tighter tolerances and a stronger ratcheting mechanism. I'm telling you, the ratcheting feels so good I would say it's on a high quality fidgeting toy satisfaction level. It's a bummer that this stubby has no storage for extra bits for more options, but it's been useful for most of the computer building I've used it for. If not a lot of torque is required, I'll usually grab this before my full-sized one because it's just way more convenient to handle.

I have a stubby screwdriver, which I have had for 30 years, but in the remodel was temporarily AWOL, and I was trying to install my pop-out hinges in the kitchen sink cabinet in a micro spot. So, of course, I ask Alexa, in between bad words: can Amazon can send me a new one overnight? YES, but which one? She rambles a few choices, and then the word **ratching proceeded by **Klein, and instantly knew it would be a good date! It came overnight, and was love at first sight! The installation was smooth and my knuckles are still thanking me! PS The old "stubby" jealously appeared as soon as the job was done, so I have banished it into my grandson's toolbox. This one will pay you back the first time you use it, with fewer gray hairs to color, fewer band-aides, and less money donated to the swear jar after project completion ... it's a buy! PS You will have both your Phillip and flathead bit with a quick flip

Perfect for those hard to reach places. I just wish the bits were standard. Amazon doesn't stock all the replacement bits.

Buena herramienta te facilita el trabajo

Degelijke stubby Heb er een 6 mm neodyne magneet in gelijmd zodat Andere bits ook goed blijven zitten

I'm disappointed that there is no magnet in the base to hold onto regular bits. This isn't a huge problem. I've just epoxied a small, round neodymium magnet at the bottom of the socket and it works as I wanted.

Awesome size, longer isn't always better. Nice ratcheting system. Comfortable. Reversible, 1/4 inch bits 5/16 inch bits.
