Anybody tried one of these?

Pretty handy to toss in a daypack/small toolbag. I added a star tool bit set when I was working on a no name assisted opener that was defective. Small enough to be portable but big enough to get a good grip on and torque.

Had something similar, though probably of lower quality.

The bit did occasionally fall off the top, torque was pretty bad, the straight SD bent in a corner and the whole thing smelt like poor rubber.
I stopped using it, when the rubber cracked and bits fell off and I lost some of them.

The idea was nice, ergonomics were good and it worked in a pinch, but mine was poopie-quality. If this is better quality, then it's worth it...

This an exclusive to County Comm and it's super quality. Great resin body, hardened bits and a really powerful magnet in the bit holder. They make special contract runs for govt agencies like diplomatic core, security staff etc., and then sell those overruns on their site. Their stuff can be expensive but it's innovative and built right.

I have something very similar. In fact, I have two sizes of them. They tend to do jury duty in my house when it is convenient. I like mine quite a lot.

County Comm has some solid stuff but there shipping is expensive.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Looks like a re-branded county comm version of the famous Picquic screwdriver from Canada.

I have three of the Picquics; love them.

As was said before, they're top quality.

If yours is not Canadian, it is likely a Chinese copy.

Good purchase.

I think they do that on purpose to get you to buy more. The few times I have ordered from them, I've gotten a couple of extra items to feel better about paying the shipping costs.

Got the Picquic Teeny Turner Micro Driver



Very nice. The drivers seem a good bit better quality than the 9-in-1 Pocket Micro Precision Screwdriver I have.

Now I think I'm going to have order the larger Stubby version :)

A little bit more chunky but I like these stubby ratchet screwdrivers:

We get them under a variety of brands in almost every hardware store here.  The bits are double-ended so you get 12 bits in there.  Usually it's 3 each of flat, Phillips, pozi and hex, but occasionally you get lucky and find a version with some torx bits.  They don't last forever but they're only about £3 so you can't complain really!  I always have one in my bike toolkit.

And I do know that my Sears also carries them.  They look interesting, especially the larger version.

I have several Picquic screwdrivers, although I don't use my Teeny Turner or Stubby much.
