I really like the form factor and design. For the price range personally I'd rather just carry a Leatherman with a bit kit for the versatility. If there was a less expensive stainless steel version that would really interest me.
20 years ago I was the facility manager at a College. I wore a suit & tie but always carried a Swiss Army Knife & Penlight Torch (flashlight in USA). I bought a similar pocket tool kit from Germany - it was the best besides my Leatherman for what I needed.
I just recently got into edc assocories and clicked on this video before looking at the channel name. I had to do a double take cause I remembered you from Phonedog! Good to see that you're still making videos after all these years Taylor.
That first minute of filming was awesome man. Crisp smooth and great sound. I’m not through the video but I’m sure it’s also just as good. Nice job. Also this tool seems like something I’d carry and didnt think I’d ever need to EDC one but I keep finding needs for screwdrivers.
I've been carrying the 6-in-1 Fastback from Milwaukee. I already need to carry a box cutter for work so adding a screwdriver in the same package is quite handy.
I guess if a screwdriver is something you use even a few times a week, randomly, then sure. But if someone is going to do any real “screwing”, car work in a garage, computer repair in your home, you’re going to have a real screwdriver, something with a substantial handle; or better yet, a drill. A multitool with a screwdriver makes a lot more sense.
Agreed. When he mentions leaving x or y in his truck or backpack I question why not just put real screwdrivers instead since the pocket constraint is gone. I had a cheapo pocket driver thing and basically never used it, usually went for a multitool or proper tools instead. They are neat little things though and that's enough reason to own one for those willing to pay the asking price.
Depends on the end user. I don’t need or want to carry a multitool or organizer, but I carry a little driver and bits like this so I have t6, 8 and 10 bits for knife adjustment/maintenance handy. 👍
Easy solution to more bits is double ending them Philips & flat, T8 & T6 a hex 5 & 6 would be awesome for bike maintenance , perhaps a small extension could also be added 😉
For an extension solution built into the design, a simple system of fairly small notches and tabs could work. They could have 2 tabs that protruded inward a small amount into the sleeve section, offset from each other 180°, and about a third of the way up the sleeve. Then have 2 corresponding notches on the inner post, obviously the full length of the post, and also offset from one another by 180°. Then you could slide the post into the sleeve, noches aligned to tabs, and have the regular length driver. Take the sleeve out, rotate 90°, slide it back in, and it would catch at the tabs, and now you have a driver that is 60-70% longer (depending on if you calculate length including the bit).
The EDC Weekly takes 3-4 days to make at this point. So if I did it weekly, it would be the only thing I produce on the channel. Pair that with the fact that, on average, the EDC Weekly gets about half the to 75% of the views of other videos, it's really more than just a logistical challenge to make it weekly again. But I'm working on it. Have been for well over a year.
Taylor: "You guys are probably familiar with big idea design now" Me: *Sitting with the new mini click pen, TPT slide and already finished pledging the bit bar inline*
I was never really sold on the idea of “multi tools”, they are neat and useful but quantity tends to over-ride quality if not provided by a proven company, so it’s always awesome when a quality EDC tool is made/released.
my swiss army takes care of most philips and flat needs. plus if im in the garage already then ill just grab my screwdrivers that are there instead of using a pocket screwdriver
As a PM for a construction company having one of these would be awesome, I normally use a $7 HD 6 way, but I often find myself going back to my bag to get it. S
I didn’t realize that I carry most of these things every day and I just spent my whole ass Sunday watching your videos and I mean it I started at like 9 am it’s almost 7 pm now
Looks cool... but I think they can consider for a ver 2.0 (apart from an extension) some sort of way to securing the shank on position in yhe handle, maybe by using magnets or a couple of spring loaded ball bearings? All and all, is a nice EDCing tool. Thank you for the video.
There is another bit diver up on Kickstarter right now that I think would be a pretty good EDC driver. It's made by FeldWorks Gear. I'm backing both projects.
Mininch makes a pocket screwdriver that holds more bits and costs less. Fun design, but I definitely need more than what's offered in this one. I do enjoy the T handle ability of this one though.
If they redesign it to work with double sided bits like the klein, milwaukee, or wiha 11 in 1's use it would add just a little length, but it would give you 6 drivers with 3 bits.
Excellent review, however, for $90 msrp, this ain't for me. That being said, I highly recommend you upgrade your bits collection to the Bosch impact line. Much more durable and last longer than regular bits. 👍
In screwdriver EDC scenario I vote for Victorinox Cybertool. It has 4 double-sided bits with medium length bit driver + other SAK tools. Victorinox is proven brand. It is not for heavy duty tasks.
Damn it. Daddy like. Wait, you have an EDC drawer in your tool kit? I remember what it was like before I had a son (that's a daddy's boy and steals everything I have). :-) Great video.
Honestly, I wish they added a socket component to this, it’s the perfect square for like 3/8 or even 1/2.... just saying, why not add that capability and make it that much more of a tool... in fact I thought that was an option and was disappointed to not see that functionality,
Word of caution for international customers. I’m in Canada and bought this based on this review. I wanted to directly support the company and not buy through Amazon. They redirect you to the international site. It ships from China postal and in the shipping fine print it says it could take 1-2 months. Mine has gone dark for 10 days with no shipping info once it was “on the plane”. Next time I’ll pay the extra 30$ and get it from Amazon. I wouldn’t mind so much if it was better traceable.
I’m very interested. I’m already looking at the ti click. Might have to bundle up. Cool video, can’t wait for the podcast on Wednesday 🤘 PS: some of the people who comment on your vids are the WORST 😂

Okay, I get it. I want it.
Hey I love your videos 🤩
U have to get it! U are among the best dude!!
🤣
Hay the crazy Asian kid
Why not double sided bits?
I agree.. It'll be a lot more useful if it has double-sided bits
It looks like the retention clamps for the bits are lower than middle so a double sided bit might not stay securely inside
@@darkairieal This. And you couldn't store the double-sided bits in the handle. So the entire tool would have to be different to accomodate.
@@BestDamnEDC try wiha double bits? That or they should have designed it for double bits.
so obvious. :)

What about big idea design makes one with double ended bits? That way you can have 4 to 6 different bit sizes in the same size tool/package
also what about a 2d bit version to expand on that idea. half the thickness means double the bits :thinking:
@@echowhiskey2411 Was thinking the same, you could more than double the storage if you used leatherman bits for example.
I've been carrying the 6-in-1 Fastback from Milwaukee. I already need to carry a box cutter for work so adding a screwdriver in the same package is quite handy.
Same, the only addition I would do to that would be a “pry-bar” instead of a land-yard hole. That would complete the perfect tool in my book.
I finally get a bit bar and bit vault. And then I get a notification for Taylor's video. Damn it here we go again lol

Don't you think it was made specifically for those people who use a screwdriver quite often?
@@Zordy21 if they are, I would hope they would use something more substantial.
Depends on the end user. I don’t need or want to carry a multitool or organizer, but I carry a little driver and bits like this so I have t6, 8 and 10 bits for knife adjustment/maintenance handy. 👍
Yeah, I want it. BUT, I can't afford $100+ for a screwdriver. I'm afraid you've lost me.
Dude don’t worry about it. I can afford it, and would never pay that much money.
I settled on Fixit sticks. 5 bits if you use one to connect them and ditch the snap case it comes with.
I can make something for Pennie’s on the dollar
Foreal. If I’m paying 100 for a driver, it better have a battery on it
I’ll buy it and enjoy it for you peasants.
I personally wouldn't carry this BUT dude your videos are so well done and you are really well versed in gear. Nice work taylor
When you took the insert out and made the unit into a T-handle, my eyes just shot open in amazement. Sold immediately on that.
Great review, just ordered on Kickstarter. Very psyched for this!
Easy solution to more bits is double ending them Philips & flat, T8 & T6 a hex 5 & 6 would be awesome for bike maintenance , perhaps a small extension could also be added 😉
I’m going to put T 4,5 and 6s in mine because my prosthetic leg has those sizes
Pre-ordered my bit bar, I cannot wait for it to drop in October. I have the titanium wrench (was a gift from the wife). Their products are awesome!
Dude ur filming is top notch great job 👏
For an extension solution built into the design, a simple system of fairly small notches and tabs could work.

what?
Your videos are always well done, but I miss the EDC weekly actually being weekly.

8 in 1 or 11 in 1 Klein tools in my bag sometimes I forget it's in my back pocket when working. But yes this tool is smaller and still get good torque
Bico is looking better and better my dude
My grandfather also carried a screwdriver in his pocket. Totally sold me on it.
Taylor: "You guys are probably familiar with big idea design now"
Me: *Sitting with the new mini click pen, TPT slide and already finished pledging the bit bar inline*
I never knew collecting EDC was a hobby before I even started doing it.
Main reason I got this was because of your video. Awesome job can't wait to get it.
Your videos are great. They must have listened to you. Bit Bar Inline Max stores 5 double sided bits. Hope they give you that commission!!!
I was never really sold on the idea of “multi tools”, they are neat and useful but quantity tends to over-ride quality if not provided by a proven company, so it’s always awesome when a quality EDC tool is made/released.
Maybe they could lathe down the bit end that sticks out to make it round versus being square, might help a little. But for sure a cool tool!
my swiss army takes care of most philips and flat needs. plus if im in the garage already then ill just grab my screwdrivers that are there instead of using a pocket screwdriver
As a PM for a construction company having one of these would be awesome, I normally use a $7 HD 6 way, but I often find myself going back to my bag to get it. S
I’d pay $25 for something like this. I don’t really care what it looks like or what it’s made of
Suspiciously organized tool box
Somehow i just can't bring myself to spend $90.00 on a screwdriver.
Got the early bird special 🙌
Keep a couple of extra bits on your key chain using the 1/4 hex bit holder of your choice.
Found this item through your vid, ordered mine today. Thanks for the discount code! Is going in my Chrome EDC sling:p
I wish the tool was slightly longer so you could fit 3 double sided Wiha bits. That would make it perfect for knife maintenance.
I didn’t realize that I carry most of these things every day and I just spent my whole ass Sunday watching your videos and I mean it I started at like 9 am it’s almost 7 pm now
I went on kickstarter and pledged ! Gonna help those guys !! I want one so.. ahah !
Just got mine today. I love it.
Really digging your watch.
i only carry a pen and knife now, i usec to carry alot of gear but now i realize that i really dont need anymore specific tools
Looks cool... but I think they can consider for a ver 2.0 (apart from an extension) some sort of way to securing the shank on position in yhe handle, maybe by using magnets or a couple of spring loaded ball bearings?
All and all, is a nice EDCing tool.
Thank you for the video.
Will a 10mm bit driver for in the handle?
I kind of like it. Though I do not like that it is square. Only advantage it has is possibility to use it in T shape to really dig in
Was looking at the bigi design screwdrivers. Ended up with a Wera Zyklops mini and Leatherman flat bits. Would be nice to compare these head to head.
Love it brother. Your editing is getting better.
Is it possible to use a dobbel sided bit on this thing, you know just asking for a grend of mine😅
There is another bit diver up on Kickstarter right now that I think would be a pretty good EDC driver. It's made by FeldWorks Gear. I'm backing both projects.
Nice design, something to think about. I like it so keep on keepin on...
Granted I haven’t ever used it but I feel like rather than having it be smooth I would want some kind of texture on it to give a bit of a better grip
And I thought I paid too much for my snap on pocket screwdriver which I use every day. $90 seems a bit high (pun intended).
Always bring the best & latest edc gears to the communities! And the kick-starter for this video!
4:55 - 5:03 LOL. TAYLOR'S FACE, PRICELESS
8:35 - 8:50
Me: Dont say it-
My Brain: Thats what she said...
Mininch makes a pocket screwdriver that holds more bits and costs less. Fun design, but I definitely need more than what's offered in this one. I do enjoy the T handle ability of this one though.
For the folks like me, instead of this I'd recommend the Gerber Armbar. ❤️
Pretty dope intro!! Super crisp.
What does EDC mean.?
If they redesign it to work with double sided bits like the klein, milwaukee, or wiha 11 in 1's use it would add just a little length, but it would give you 6 drivers with 3 bits.
Great video as always 👍
This one? Or the OG bit bar? If you could only have one? Great videos! Thanks bro.
I'd like you to compare Bit Bar Inline to Mininch Tool Pen and WRENCHit by minich to Ti EDC wrench. Please.
Man. Every time I see your pen collection I always wish you would just send me one 😂
Get one Thank you for showing 👏🏼
Would the short double-ended wiha bits fit in the handle?
Excellent review, however, for $90 msrp, this ain't for me. That being said, I highly recommend you upgrade your bits collection to the Bosch impact line. Much more durable and last longer than regular bits. 👍
Oh crap I bought the wrong one. I need this version now
What about using double ended bits.
Where can I buy? Don’t see it out yet
In screwdriver EDC scenario I vote for Victorinox Cybertool. It has 4 double-sided bits with medium length bit driver + other SAK tools. Victorinox is proven brand. It is not for heavy duty tasks.
They probably could of found a way to use an extension bit as the "button" on the Bitbar just have it magnetically attached.
Speaking of Gun like… Any recommendations for AR15 or pistol mini mutlitools? 😁
Congreulations to Cameraman's!!!Bravo!!!
Damn what an intro nicely done
I ride a motorcycle, year round.
I'll definitely check out the company.
I need one now!
Vero still probably the best pocket screwdriver
I ordered but I am instantly thinking I should invest that money into fixit sticks (for my needs)
Knife at 0:16?
I've been carrying Snap on SDDDM1A for years now. Maybe I'll try this.
Hello dear
Blessed day to you
Damn it. Daddy like. Wait, you have an EDC drawer in your tool kit? I remember what it was like before I had a son (that's a daddy's boy and steals everything I have). :-)
Great video.
Nice Oris!!!
Ight I’ll solve the problem, double ended bits with some magnetic retention.
I've carried a Leatherman Wave everyday for the better part of 30 years.
Wow that’s dope man!
@ 2:50 that’s what 1000 dolllar tool set looks like . Damn
So if im gonna use a pack, the bit bar would be better?
I can c this being made as a micro bit holder would be great for electronics or knife maintenance
Does it fit dual bits?
I would order one, but I would need it before father's day
Bring back EDC WEEKLY please! Great video. Another gadget added to the list
I just did one last week. And a few weeks before. And will next week.
To keep your bits : CRKT Pocket Driver Stash Tool
Where did you get that shirt
Maybe having double ended bits instead of single ended bits?
Gerber Armbar?
Sort of off topic but how about a video on edc carabiners at different price points
Try hero clip
