High-quality, durable material; comfortable and practical; perfect for household chores and to carry with you at all times

This is a very-well designed screwdriver. The bits all store nicely in the handle. They are easy to take out and put back, and they ALL fir (so you don't have to leave one in the tip to fall out and get lost). They click in well to the tip. The ratchet mechanism works well and gives a solid feel, and the ratcheting control is very easy to use. The whole thing sits well in my hand, it is easy to grip, and is fairly easy to turn. It of course doesn't turn quote as well and as solidly as my old set of Sears Craftsman drivers, but for the convenience of a multi-bit driver and a ratchet, I don't think this can be beat.

This is identical to the Megapro 211R1C36 except for the color...may cost a few bucks less but the quality is the same; fantastic! I had an "el cheapo" for about a year but the handle cap kept unscrewing every time I removed.a screw. It eventually fell off and I lost it.I decided to lose the rest of it as well, and bought the Channellock. Though made in Canada by Megapro, I can't imagine Channellock would put their name on a tool that wasn't up to the very high standards of their whole line of tools which are outstanding. The handle cap can't unscrew although it does spin to help prevent blisters on your palms. The end cap pulls out but not off and is held closed magnetically. Great design. A little hefty to be sure but then you've got 12 bits and a ratcheting mechanism inside the shell. It feels nice and solid. There's a small amount of movement in the shaft but it's normal for any ratcheting screwdriver. Unnoticeable when in use. As for the price...$24.00 you figure you're getting 12 screwdrivers and a nut driver of superior quality, so where's the beef???

Seldom do reviews but remembered myself reading online knowing I wanted something besides my Klein # in 1. Klein is great but if your looking for ratcheting and Klein is what your coming from you will be satisfied. The bit storage proved better quicker for me in the channellock handle. You do lose some nut driver sizes that the Klein offers when you flipped the shaft. The bit holder wears out on Kleins and channellock if used as a nut driver! Then you got s $30 screwdriver that won't hold bits so just don't do it get the drill or nut driver out. So there you go I say give channellock a try. After a few uses everything seems natural bit changing is perfect, forward to reverse or to locked position is easy no crappy black switch on the shaft junk. Plus the back of the handle spins freely for palming constant pressure while turning with other hand. Ok I'm ordering my 3rd now. Lost 1st and haven't completely worn out the ratchet mechanism but it won't stay in selected gear anymore for long. Been used everyday for couple years and in all weather

I bought this screwdriver to replace one that I broke. I read an extensive review by popular mechanics and thought it would fit the bill. Although it performs adequately, I do have 2 specific complaints. 1. The shaft is too fat. If you a working on electronics, small appliances, or any item where the screw you need to access is located deep in a cylindrical hole or shaft, the removable screw driver head will fit, but the long fat shaft will not. They should have made the shaft much shorted and used long bits or engineered a more slender shaft. 2. No magnetic bit retention tip. The end of the shaft doesn’t have a magnet. If you use a bit other than the ones supplied here, it will fall out because there isn’t a magnet. The bits supplied have a ball bearing detent. Overall this screw driver is ok, gets the job done for the most part, but I have since purchased another Milwaukee from Home Depot to replace the one I broke when I used it as a hammer, lol.

This served me well for several years. Used this ratcheting screwdriver instead of an impact or electric screwdriver to save space and weight in an appliance repair tool bag. The compact size compared to power tools made my life easier, as I am not very strong. This was sufficient for me because I was only removing sheet metal fasteners. Eventually, it ratcheted rough, but that was only after extreme use and handling. The price was higher than some screwdrivers at that time, but was well worth the investment considering how much time and effort it saved me. This was a nice size and the variety of bits was very convenient at times. The bits are double sided which was nice because they were not overly small. I don't recall much of a strong magnetic tip, but overall this worked well.

I have purchased a lot of ratcheting screwdrivers over the years. Usually the ratcheting mechanism will no longer ratchet-back when the fastener gets too loose. This thing is so precise and ultra-silky-smooth it always ratchets-back. Even when the screw could be easily removed by finger-tip. Love the bit holder and the fact you cannot fully remove it from the screwdriver. Actually, you might be able to, I have not looked, however it does not have a screw-cap, which you will surely lose, holding in the bits. The holder snaps in and out with just the exact right amount of force. Now I want another one for the emergency-repair tool bag in my truck. And maybe one for the house. Superbly engineered, designed and built professional quality tool. It's well worth the asking price.

This thing is great! It feels really good in your hand. It’s a little weighty and feels very sturdy and well built. The ratcheting action is primo. Love the in-handle storage of bits. I have a lot of tools of all different kinds, including lots if screwdrivers over several years, and this is not only my favorite screwdriver ever (by far)... it’s one of my favorite tools of any kind. Yes, it’s a bit expensive for “just a screwdriver” but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it. It really is that good.

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.

This is made by Megapro and is exactly the same as the Megapro one except for the colour. I believe that it's in the 10 Best Screwdrivers list in the New York Times and I'm not surprised. It's my go-to screwdriver for all tasks. Having the bits stored in the handle is excellent and all bits have a lifelong guarantee. They're easy to get out and put back. The ratchet action is brilliant and saves me a lot of wrist twisting. Activating it is a simple move left or right of the handles collar. I have the Megapro in both colour variations and love them and I'm not embarrassed to admit that I bought this purely for the colour in spite of the price difference. Shallow, I know but there you go.

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
