As someone who has driven screws professionally for years, I highly recommend the Klein 10-fold. It doesn't have bits for knife maintenance, but it has served me well.
Klein probably is my favorite gear. My favorite tool is my Klein electrician scissors. Buy one immediately, thank me later. I will return the favor and order the 10 fold ✌️
@@chevy4x466I’m a maintenance technician at an optical lab and I beg to differ. If v tried almost all decent brands and I would say Knipex is in a class above Klein. Don’t get me wrong I like Klein tools but Knipex is a level above. Along with Wera
For my needs the Milwaukee 5 in 1 fastback is best as it’s very flat, with a good pocket clip, the driver is locking, can be opened one handed, is 1/4” bits, and you can get substantial torque on the inline position. It is perfect for handyman type jobs. A common job which needs the slim extension is changing door knobs. Those short stubby drivers just won’t work.
Pb Swiss insider pocket bit driver is a great option for a bag or cargo pants pocket. It’s the smallest I’ve found that’s still big enough to be useful. I work facility maintenance and it’s my edc at work. Outside of work when I’m in jeans or shorts I carry the bit bar inline max.
I love the smallrig folding camera tool. It lives in my belt work pouch and can handle most things I come across at work, and I always have it on me. And in addition it can hold a set of screws and bolts in the driver itself for any quick fixes or rigging options. It's built mainly to use on cameras and other filmmaking accessories which is perfect for me.
@@kurtgeisinger8948The only reason I have that could potentially explain this is that it doesn't have a pocket clip available . I don't see why that's a deal-breaker for a lot of folks but I also don't understand how this isn't the number one selling EDC bit/screw driver in America right now.
Great vid. That 711L EDC Ratchet Wrench is super cool. I like that Big Idea Design EDS II too. I'm working on a redesign of the Bitvault to launch next year. I'll be sure to get an extension option in there. Cheers.
Loving my Edge Xt, Cable kit and tool card - can't wait for the new bit vault! Hopefully, it can hold the Steinwhale Stubby bit kit and extender - best bit set I have seen. And 711L makes great stuff. The Lollipop driver is the best pocket screwdriver I have seen.
I picked up a Sata bit driver for my Maxpedition micro tool kit. It takes 1/4 inch bits. One end holds a bit at a 90-degree angle, so you can torque down on something if you need to, and only cost about 20 bucks.
Olight recently released the Opry. It is a pry bar, bottle opener, wrench, stores 3 double sided bits, and has a pocket clip. Plus it’s only $50 with the potential of being cheaper when they run deals.
I think this category should be discussed under two main headings. 6.35mm (1/4") and 4mm (5/32") precision screwdrivers. In the precision screwdriver section, I use the first option by taking the bits from the Hoto set. Because when you remove the clip, it is lighter than Hoto. Of course, I had to eliminate some bits I wouldn't need, but I was able to fit 9 double-sided bits. Of course, the Hoto set is also very useful and stylish, but as I said, it is a little heavy. For 6.35mm, there are cheap L-shaped plastic coated arms. You can use double-sided bits. I bought them and wrapped the bits with paper tape and put them separately. In this way, since it is insulated, the risk of electrical shock is reduced, I can apply force, reach deep screws and it is cost-effective. However, I also added a 4mm converter to the end. (Translated)
I just ordered the 711L Mini Ratchet Wrench and I think with a few Wera bits and a bit extender this will be a good EDC tool kit together with my Knipex XS. I carry it in my Blue Ridge Overland Gear Bum Bag. I really like the Big Idea Design screwdriver products, but they are sometimes not easy to get in Germany and cost the equivalent of 150 - 160 US$. That's just a little too expensive for me.
The victorinox cybertool m is my edc screw driver it goes great in a pouch and has 4 double sided micro bits and a glasses screw driver in the corkscrew so 9 options total
Yeah and none of those options are torx so good luck fixing your folding knife on the go. I have a CyberTool as well and find that I need those torx bits, not sure if Victorinox sells any sets.
I only wish it had a deep carry clip. It's not something I would typically carry in my own pockets, but I would love to have the clip to help hold it in place in my bags better. Even if it was an option that we could add after the fact that would be great.
I’m a big fan of the Gerber Armbar Driver I’ve used it many times fishing , to tighten the screws on my reel,and the scissors work great to cut the newer super line.
Tbh the best screw driver I ever had for less then 20$ is from aliexpress their solid aluminum screw driver set come with like 50 nice bits and case the size of my s22
I don’t use a screwdriver much considering I carry a bit kit in my edc bag. But on my person I have a HART Driver from Walmart and a couple bits wrapped in a piece of gaffers tape. Both go in my alpaca zip pro along with micro stream, knipex, a homemade prybar made from a harbor freight wrench , and a zebra 701 pen
I see you are also carrying the Leatherman Ratchet Driver. I was a bit disappointed with its build quality, with the plasticky ratchet switch that does not really snap nicely into place. Is anyone aware of a better option (which is still compatible with the Leatherman flat bits)?
Just saw a new Boker drop at Knife Center that falls in line with these sort of products. Bolt action with a pen form factor. Also, is the leatherman extension's dimensions any different from the regular extension (regarding fitting in the bit vault)? Don't have one to compare to myself.
Great top ten there. I really like the bit bar max. It comes the closest to what I have had in mind when thinking about an edc screwdriver: small, many bits, tough as nails. Imagine a full dressed one 😮😮😂
The first item he puts down to the left of the knife from his perspective is the Leatherman ratchet driver. The second appears to be the 711L ratchet driver
I have been carrying and using the Leatherman Skeletool, as well as the full bit kit, basically since I first heard about it through your channel. Now that I am looking to downsize and specialize my carry a bit more (i.e., I don't use 95% of the bits), this is exactly the kind of stuff I am looking for. I have also been carrying a LeverGear ToolCard for ages but had never heard of the BitVault (must have missed you video on it) and it makes me sad.
I came here to say this. I've got a couple of the others in this list and find I keep coming back to that one. Great price and bit storage - but no rattle, and easy to find individual bits. I do miss having full size bits, but I use my Leatherman for that if I need them.
Dude i cant understand your blind love for bigideadesign they have double price utility knife and not much better than tirant razor v3.. sry for English..
If youre really gonna use your gear sum of These are Not it to nice/expensive for Daily use if you want something usefull and much less expensive buy a wera zyklop Pocket set or the normal version

Came down to the comments to suggest the same thing. Mine has been in my edc for a few years now.

HOTO Precision Mechanics Screwdriver Set, 24 in 1... can't go wrong with this one. Also, Topeak sets are great!
It’s only $14 right now for Amazon prime day
This is the correct answer. No idea why this thing doesn't get more love.

File 2 flat spots on your driver extension for the bit vault
That's a good idea
The victorinox cybertool m is my edc screw driver it goes great in a pouch and has 4 double sided micro bits and a glasses screw driver in the corkscrew so 9 options total
Yeah and none of those options are torx so good luck fixing your folding knife on the go. I have a CyberTool as well and find that I need those torx bits, not sure if Victorinox sells any sets.
Knaf's bit diver! Comes with 3 wiha bits, 25 bucks, super slim profile!
i would add a victorinox cybertool to this list. i love mine with after market prometheus design werx titanium scales(unnecessary but awesome)
The brass one knurling and big idea design 17:06
For the Lever Gear BitVault, if it's that close to fitting an extension, grind, sand or ideally machine the end so it fits in there.
You forgot the precision screwdriver from hoto tools. It holds 24 bits in the most elegant design possible.
I only wish it had a deep carry clip. It's not something I would typically carry in my own pockets, but I would love to have the clip to help hold it in place in my bags better.
Even if it was an option that we could add after the fact that would be great.
I have the Pittsburgh set. I put in better bits - Red=Phillips, Yellow=Flat, Blue=Torx.
Have a link you can share on those bits?
I just ordered a Makita E-15811 after I didn't like most options. Very affordable too.
My favorite EDC screwdriver is just a mini Craftsman 1/8 inch flathead. It's a common size I need, and it also works as a prybar and a bottle opener.😂
I only really carry a TI Croc Tool from Vice Anvil Tactical as my flat head screwdriver while using the Philips head screwdriver insert on my Keybar.
15:32 what is the black driver called?
Knafs Bit Driver
I’m a big fan of the Gerber Armbar Driver
I’ve used it many times fishing , to tighten the screws on my reel,and the scissors work great to cut the newer super line.
Tbh the best screw driver I ever had for less then 20$ is from aliexpress their solid aluminum screw driver set come with like 50 nice bits and case the size of my s22
I made a "light duty" keychain bit driver last night. Wish I could show it off

Both go in my alpaca zip pro along with micro stream, knipex, a homemade prybar made from a harbor freight wrench , and a zebra 701 pen
I edc a countycomm titanium screwdriver they sell for dunno like $30 and it's tiny. Love it so much but bits don't go inside. But it works well 🙌
Kind of surprised not to see the micro-mark dual drive ratcheting screwdriver on the list it one I edc regularly
15:28 Please identify the precision screwdriver that would be better suited in your maintenance kit. Tks.
Knafs Bit Driver collabs.shop/jy5ycs
You can put an extension peice in the bit vault diagonally, I know that’s not ideal but hey
I was excited to see the olight driver in there. Its such a cool little guy. It takes up like no space and handles a lot.
It looks like that Gereber Armbar bit driver is a whistle also..
I see you are also carrying the Leatherman Ratchet Driver. I was a bit disappointed with its build quality, with the plasticky ratchet switch that does not really snap nicely into place. Is anyone aware of a better option (which is still compatible with the Leatherman flat bits)?
If the Armbar’s driver had a detent as strong as like a Victorinox tool (or even a bit stronger!) it’d be a wildly great multitool, imo
I literally was thinking about this yesterday. How did you know
im loving the silexgear fix
I immediately eliminate anything that uses orings for retention or leatherman bits -- overhyped for any bit size too large to be full 3D
Just saw a new Boker drop at Knife Center that falls in line with these sort of products. Bolt action with a pen form factor.
Also, is the leatherman extension's dimensions any different from the regular extension (regarding fitting in the bit vault)? Don't have one to compare to myself.
My favorite pocket driver and prybar combo is from Teale Designs, the Bandless magnetic drive pry.
I carry a LionSteel Eggy on my keys. Great little driver with a cool design.
Should take a look at 711L's Lollipop driver.
Have you ever thought of or done a keychain only EDC set?
That would be a really heavy set of keys even if everything was titanium.
Great video man! My CRKT driver stash tool lives in my little maintenance kit as my back up driver! I’ll have to check out that bit bar inline max!
Great top ten there. I really like the bit bar max. It comes the closest to what I have had in mind when thinking about an edc screwdriver: small, many bits, tough as nails.
Imagine a full dressed one 😮😮😂
I'm a fan of Big Idea Design.
Great compilation! No Combat beads MK2 bit driver? I recall you sharing it in one of your previous videos.
I love it, but not as something I'm going to throw in the pocket
What is the second item you always carry? looks like an extension arm? @15:07
The first item he puts down to the left of the knife from his perspective is the Leatherman ratchet driver. The second appears to be the 711L ratchet driver
What was the precision decide at the end with the frag pattern on it ?
My favorite is the Combat beads mk2 screwdriver
How about the Kershaw TX TOOL? Is it good?
Should be pretty much identical to the first ones shown in the video.
711L Lollipop for the win.

I definitely use my Milwaukee 1505 for the screwdriver everyday.
What is the watch that you are wearing here?
You're leaving out the hoto. Nothing beats it in terms of the amount of bits in storage.
I came here to say this. I've got a couple of the others in this list and find I keep coming back to that one. Great price and bit storage - but no rattle, and easy to find individual bits. I do miss having full size bits, but I use my Leatherman for that if I need them.
Agreed hands down. I just wish it also had a deep carry clip.
check out the picquic teeny turner
whats the last driver u showed that spiiiiins
These, or ... my 2$ screwdriver works great as well 😅
I paid 26.90 for my armbar on eBay new free shipping.
Thank you!
You should put some links to the bit kits you recommend. I am looking for 4mm hex for the Pittsburgh
They're all in the description ... as they always have been
Great stuff
