Multi-bit screwdrivers

A universal multi-bit screwdriver helps to cope with threaded fasteners of various kinds. The bits are attached to the tip of the metal rod with the help of a special magnetic holder. If necessary, one can buy an additional bit for this tool for a certain operation. It will be inexpensive and take minimum space in the tool box for car repair.

Types of multi-bit screwdrivers

First of all products in catalogues differ from one another by the structure of exchangeable elements. Bits can be one- and two-sided, with one or two working heads accordingly.

The bits differ in the type of the screw drive they are compatible with. The most widespread forms of working heads are straight (flat), cross-shaped, hexagonal, six-pointed Torx, square ones and others. The set may include several bits of the same shape but of different sizes. The more items are contained in the set, the higher its price is.

Moreover, multi-bit screwdrivers differ from one another by length of the rod and handle, as well as by the material the latter is made of. For example, it can be plastic with rubber inserts, or fully rubber – non-conductive. Usually the handle has special shape which should prevent tool from slipping in the hand.

Some devices are additionally equipped with a ratchet mechanism which significantly facilitates works but is sensitive to soiling. Also the screwdriver may have a telescopic rod or be equipped with a rod extension. This allows to work with connections located in hard-to-reach places.
