What Customers Are Saying
The Kobalt Double Drive Screwdriver is praised for its ratcheting mechanism, which allows for faster and more efficient screwing and unscrewing. Customers appreciate the variety of included bits stored in the handle, providing convenience and flexibility. The tool is seen as a great value, with many highlighting its quality construction and durability. The "double drive" feature, enabling twice the speed of a standard screwdriver, is a standout feature. However, some customers have reported issues with the ratcheting mechanism becoming stuck or loose over time, and the bits or small screws coming loose or breaking. A few customers also felt the design could be improved, with complaints about the magnetic bits feeling cheap and the handle being too bulky.

very nice
Would Recommendthe double drive mechanism is ingenious. the magnet holding the bits could be stronger; the extension included is a bit wobbly when in place.

Better than the DeWalt.
Would RecommendNew to Kobalt tools, but I grabbed this on sale and it quickly became my favorite screwdriver. It's bigger and heavier than my DeWalt, but this gives it much better stability. The switch is much easier to use on this unit too. The bit storage in the handle is always a plus. I plan on grabbing a couple more for around the house.

You need to try this screwdriver!
Would RecommendLearned about this screwdriver from a friend. After watching him remove a number of screws quite rapidly, I decided I needed this in my tool box. Used it while taking down Christmas decorations. What isn't obvious if you have not used this before is that there are two possible settings. In one, you tighten the screw no matter which way you turn the handle. In the other setting, you loosen the screw no matter which way you turn the handle. Very efficient. The screwdriver comes with several types ...

Make sure to hold this correctly
Would RecommendTo get the most out of this screwdriver you want to use it with 2 hands. You put one hand on the middle ratcheting part and one hand on the blue handle. You hold the ratcheting part still while you rotate the handle part back and forth (clockwise then counter-clockwise and repeat) and the double-drive turns the screwdriver. This makes it more efficient than most hand screwdrivers. You can still use this with 1 hand though, you just won't get the double-drive feature. I liked this much that ...

Bits Fall Out
Would Not RecommendGreat Concept and I would prefer to buy Kobalt over their competition anyday... Lowes is good to us Veterans. That said, I love everything about this screwdriver except every time I use it the bit will come out when i pull away from the screw. Doesn't matter if they are Kobalt, DeWalt, Makita, etc. Every bit will dislodge. This wastes anytime that may have been saved using the ratcheting mechanism. Kobalt please fix this and I'll buy another. Till then, I be purchasing a Makita, Wera, or K...
