We then tested the tool on a range of fasteners and found the bits are well made and appear to be hardened steel. Yes, a good ratcheting screwdriver is one of the first tools DIYers should buy. You can get many tools in one, saving money. Ratcheting and electric screwdrivers can also be easier and faster than a standard fixed screwdriver. Lastly, most ratcheting screwdriver kits have a carrying case with bits stored in dedicated slots. This is great for keeping your bits organized, but it isn’t a one-tool solution as you get with onboard bit storage.

The rear cap spins independently from the rest of the body. With this feature, you can press the tool into the screw with your palm and still easily rotate the screwdriver with your other hand.

It’s literally worse than the mega pro at double the cost. The only “positive” it does have is shorter bits for magnetism which cost pennies to buy separately anyway and forces you to buy standard bits if you want to be able to use one set of bits with all tools. Personally I have a 200+ part set with around 150 bits that I use for a screwdriver or impact driver. We appreciate how the six dual-sided bits slide into the storage slots. Some similar models hold the bits too tightly, making it hard to slide bits out. But the WorkPro 12-In-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver’s storage slots are sized well, and swapping bits on the fly is easy The product category is ratchetting screwdrivers so excluding the PB Swiss for no internal bit storage would be a bit strange. Also quite a few people mentioned the PB Swiss in the lead up and it was missing from the pop up shop so personally I’m glad it was included. The Workpro Ratcheting Screwdriver features a nonslip grip and solid feel, making it easy to get a firm grasp on the handle. The tool stores six 3.5-inch double-ended bits in its base, which gave us 12 different bits to choose from, including slotted, Phillips head, star, and Torx. The bits themselves are magnetic—rather than the head—but they remained firmly in the tool, even when we shook it upside down.
