Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 13 -Piece 3-1/2-in Magnetic Ratcheting Multi-Bit Replaced Screwdriver Set

Cheap Chinese Bits

I like the ratchet function, it is very smooth and also I also like the ease of switching from right to left. I did not, at all, like the bits. A star bit broke off in a screw that I had to use a carbide tipped drill bit to remove. The entire experience was a multi-day headache the culminated in my having to re-tap the part with a larger screw size.

worth the money

Not much to say, its a ratcheting screwdriver. My only negative is, there is slop in the drive, the bit end wiggles quite a bit but its not a show stopper. I highly recommend it and would buy it again for the weekend home DIY project user.

Great for household use

These are great - I have bought 3 for kitchen, garage and basement. For household chores they are fantastic, the bits are in the handle including an extension. The only con is they are not good for construction level use, I used one to help my friend frame out an extension of his house. The next time I went to use it, the ratcheting had a very crunchy sound, and the clockwise did not catch. Highly recommend for household tasks, putting screws into walls, putting up ceiling fans, putting t...

Nifty design-everything in one device

The bits nestle inside the cap nicely and don't rattle at all. It's great for me but a little heavy for the spouse.

Great little multi purpose screwdriver

While shopping at Lowe's in Paterson, NJ I came across this ratcheting screwdriver which I wasn't familiar with. In addition I liked the idea that both the phillip and regular bits are incased in the handle. Since purchasing this product I haven't used any other screwdriver. It works really well and the ratcheting feature allows for a tighter grip on the screw.

So Far So Good

Bought this on sale as I loved the idea of having the extra screw bits inside the back of the screwdriver itself. So far it's worked great.

Gear Box Not Built Well

I am on my second one of these and I will not be geting another one. The first one I had, the gear box ratchet kept sticking and it felt broken. I took it back to Lowes and they swapted it out for me. The one I have now is doing the same thing the last one did. The gear box on this screwdriver is not well made.

great for the new home owner

Everything you need for a basic screwdriver all bits on board. Like that it can be reversed.

So so

The bits do not fit tightly in the screw driver, but it does work.

Double Drive Screwdriver

Excellent! I've wanted one of these for a long time and this was better than others i've seen. the best part is the tips hidden in the base of the tool. you have everything you need contained in the tool. Definitely worth it.

Not what it used to be

I’ve been using the 1st gen version of this screwdriver at work for a few years and I love it. So, I put it on my Christmas wish list this year. Sadly, Kobalt chose to ruin their product by re-designing it. - The original screwdriver comes with double-headed bits that stow in the handle under a screwtop. For some insane reason, the new iteration has no storage in the handle. The bits must be stored in a separate caddy, each bit is about 1” in length. Want to change a bit?. Remove the exis...

Excellent Tool

This is one tool that every person should have in their tool bag! Comes with bits that store within the handle. Great quality!!

Great time saver.

This is a great tool. Removes and installs screws quickly.

Excellent piece of kit

Very handle little tool. Comes with a good variety of bits inside the handle. The double ratchet action is great, but a little difficult to use once more force is needed.
