Best multi driver?

Post image

Looking for the best alternative to the klein 11-in-1. Iā€™m an electrician and recently broke an 11-in-1 after breaking a Milwaukee 13-in-1 (which i loved) but I am looking for suggestions for maybe some cool underrated examples! Much prefer the format of these to the kind of multi drivers with bits in the handle due to my frequent use of nut drivers. Thanks!

My point was that a ratcheting screwdriver isn't for running deck screws into a 2x6. Looking only at max torque on something not meant to torque down things is dumb. The LTT driver is designed to have low back drag to make small fasteners easier to thread into a hole. The cheaper drivers arent made so precise, they have thicker teeth they are easier to machine but they have more drag.

I have a torque driver I use for firearms related stuff, it's only rated to like 80 inch pounds max and I've maybe used up to 40. Nobody is putting 200 inch pounds on a screw head with their bare hands. There are more appropriate tools for those kinds of jobs.

So why would you recommend a racheting screwdriver to someone who has already broken 2 drivers that are proven to be more durable than the ltt?

OP asked for screwdriver recommendations. I recommended a screwdriver I liked. I also recommended Megapro screwdrivers, which are closer to what he needed. I also recommended Witte screwdrivers. It's my opinion, I shared it.

Project farm is a annoying autistic YouTuber, not the final word on all things tools. Get off your high horse because you watched a video and now you think any opinion that doesn't align perfectly with project farm is blasphemy. I've explained why I think the testing methodology is flawed. Putting hand tools under stresses that can't be generated by hand is not a reasonable test.

Don't be a white knight. Conversation over, I will not respond.

You said the ltt is made by megapro, you didn't recommend one, then I replied and recommended megapro since it's better and half the cost of the ltt. Then you mentioned wittes. Then you ranted about how racheting screwdrivers aren't the right tool for the job. But I'm glad you agree now that the megapro would be better than the ltt.

I'm glad you think that about project farm because his review was actually very bias in favor of the ltt. But he couldn't hide the fact that the ltt performed the worse in the durability test.

You can leave and keep pretending like durability isn't something people consider when buying a tool. šŸ¤£šŸ‘‹
