Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 32 -Piece 2-1/2-in Magnetic Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver Set

All in one greatness

I bought this with the idea that I needed a ratcheting screwdriver. The tip is magnetic which helps with screws not flying around. Also being able to hold it still and still ratchet is amazing in either direction. I love this thing and I use it everyday when I need it. Definitely recommend this to anyone.

Cool tool for my wife

My wife is always "borrowing" my tools for small stuff around the house. I bought this multibit-screwdriver for her. She loves it and more importantly, I love the fact I can find my screwdrivers now.

Great tool

Very efficient, feels durable

Had High Expectations

Good for driving screws requiring small amounts of torque, into pre-drilled holes, but the double drive struggles when driving screws bigger than 1 inch. Works as a regular $10 ratcheting screwdriver. I recommend the 2x double drive over this one.

Awesome

Where has this little gadget been all my life? Great now if only they had one with a built in torque indicator... Hmmm

Great Screwdriver

Much better than the original ratcheting screwdriver

One Tool to Rule Them All

If you are looking for a screwdriver to grab quickly for odds and ends jobs around the house or on the go this one is by far my recommendation. Magnetic, easily switchable attachments, and the smoothest ratcheting motion. I have as of yet not really had to put the 6X drive to test, but as easily as it has worked for all the other little jobs it has taken care of I don’t see how that wouldn’t be as advertised.

Great Christmas Present For an Old Carpenter

My uncle didn't understand it at first. Once explained he thought it was great.

Best manual screwdriver

I had purchased the previous version of this years ago. My mother-in-law loved mine. I bought her this for Christmas and she loves it. Absolutely a great update from the older version. I will most likely go and buy myself one of the new ones! The ratchet is great and moves freely. The ability to go in the reverse direction while holding the barrel and it still goes in the direction you want reduces fatigue. The double drive is fantastic. The screwdriver isn't heavy either - perfect for my mother...

Well made screwdriver

Very well made and with the double action ratchet makes a very quick job of installing or removing screws.

Just get it

For when you can't use a screw gun/drill or electric screwdriver, this screwdriver is really handy. Not so sure about the 6x claim - but it is faster and easier than regular screwdriver.

I love this tool! Very handy around the house. I keep it in a small tool bag inside our apartment replacing 6 other screwdrivers that I had in there before. The ratcheting feature makes removing and installing fasteners so much easier and faster than before with standard screwdrivers. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who lives in an apartment, condo or house. very Handy

Handy!

This is a great set for light to medium duty jobs. I prefer to carry this set for low voltage/electrical work. The ratcheting drive holds up well versus earlier models and makes short work of tapped assemblies. Definitely a product I recommend.

Good, compact multi-use tool

I bought this to replace the multiple drivers I had in my toolbox. I wanted something that was a bit of a multitasker. I love Kobalt products and I'm overall pleased with this. It certainly makes driving a long screw go really fast. The selection of bits in the box is surprisingly good, too. There's a lot of variation that covers a lot of ground. My only gripe is that when you grip the textured handle to drive in both directions it gets a little sticky. It's not as smooth as I would have expecte...

Great tool.

Light and adaptable with options for extensions for this hard to reach places.

Almost perfect.

As an old car guy, I've been looking at this since I saw it in Hemmings Motor News quite a while ago. I finally decided to pick one up this morning while my wife was looking at paint. I tried it out today and really like this tool. It's a huge time and wrist saver over regular drivers. The only thing it needs to be absolutely perfect is 1/4" hex to 1/4" and 3/8" square drive adapters so that you can use regular sockets. I already have hex to square adapters for my cordless impact so it wasn't a ...

Last screwdriver you will buy

Quality construction, great torque, plenty of bits for all your jobs.
