These smaller bits are not only easier to replace if lost, but also allow you to customize your bit selection. Other than the color, they’re the same tool; Megapro confirmed to us that it manufactures the Channellock on a private-label basis. In addition, I take a very hands-on approach with my own 250-year-old farmhouse, and I fully gutted and rebuilt the last house I lived in. The ratcheting mechanism of the Megapro 13-in-1 has 28 teeth, which is about in the middle range of the screwdrivers we tested.

The 24-in-1 Precision Driver - Megapro Tools Inc.

We mentioned that the storage system makes it easy to avoid losing bits—but if that happens, there’s no question they’re more difficult to replace and more expensive. The Megapro 13-in-1 uses double-sided bits with a spring-loaded ball bearing at the middle of the shaft to lock them into the stem, which are proprietary and distinct to the tool. For over 25 years tradespeople across the globe have trusted the Megapro Multi-Bit Screwdriver to get the job done. The Palm-Saver Cap™ makes it easy to use the driver with one hand and increases screwing/unscrewing speed. Just looking at the raw hours since I first picked up a tool in a professional manner, I’ve probably spent at least a year of my life with a screwdriver in my hand.It offers a teardrop handle similar to that of our main pick, as well as the comfort that goes with that shape. Packed full of our patented technology and the most popular bits on the market, this multi-bit screwdriver has the punch you need to get the job done. If the Megapro and Channellock 13-in-1 models are not available, we recommend the Megapro 211R1C36RD Ratcheting Automotive Screwdriver. This manual screwdriver combines smooth ratcheting action with excellent bit storage and a uniquely comfortable handle to be the most well-rounded, capable tool of its kind. It has the same excellent bit storage as the MegaPro, but the handle isn’t as contoured, and the ratchet toggle has no texture to it, so it’s a little more difficult to use, especially one-handed.

MEGAPRO 24-IN-1 PRECISION SCREWDRIVER INTRODUCING THE MEGAPRO 24-IN-1 PRECISION SCREWDRIVER

It comes with six double-headed driver bits, totaling 12 bits and should be able to handle just about every standard screwdriving task in a home. It’s the ultimate kitchen-drawer tool, and it can help with loose hinges, toy batteries, and wobbly door handles, all on the fly. Some had as low as 10 teeth, while most of the better ones had around 40, yet some had as many as 72.Since they proclaim "Made in North America" all over their site (US and Canada), I was disappointed to discover that their Precision Driver is made in Taiwan. Other screwdrivers may have additional features or a finer ratchet, but only the MegaPro combines solid ratcheting action, fantastic bit storage, a useful selection of bits, and an oddly comfortable handle. In many ways, this is the little sibling to our main pick, as it has the same smart bit storage and the spinning cap. I have been dealing with companies after purchasing items for a long time and your company is the worst I have ever met.

He lives in a very demanding 250-year-old farmhouse and spent four years gutting and rebuilding his previous home. Bad screwdrivers can get the job done, but we think a better screwdriver justifies the added expense—not only is this one of the most commonly used tools in anyone’s collection, but it’s also immediately clear how much nicer a high-quality screwdriver is. Also, because your palm is pressing against a stationary piece instead of a twisting one, you won’t “rug-burn” a fiery hole into your palm.If the 13-In-1 and the Channellock are not available or if you feel strongly that you will eventually need a wider selection of bits, Megapro also offers the 211R1C36RD 13-in-1 Ratcheting Automotive Screwdriver.
