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.

Every house needs this
Would RecommendSuper convenient and easy to use. Not a lot of bits but just about the right amount for most jobs. I use this for little jobs around the house. Nothing too major like replacing toy batteries, tightening a shelf screw, etc. Works great for that.

Poorly Designed/Manufactured Tool
Would Not RecommendGreat idea, but after using it several times for light duty work the ratchet locked up. Feels as though something has broken off and gets caught in the mechanism. Even when it works, the ratchet is stiff and as soon as the screw begins to tighten up, the ratchet function no longer works. Finally, it's clear that the folks who designed this "tool" never actually use it. When unscrewing something, the heal of your hand unthreads the bit storage cap and if you don't notice, eventually the cap...

Bummer of a magnetic feature
Would Not RecommendWorks well, but is not magnetic enough to hold screws. The tips seem to stay in with magnets, but I was hoping for something that would aid in holding screws.

4.5 stars
Would RecommendI own two of these and love them. The dual-action ratcheting is excellent. Would be 5 stars easily except the second one sometimes gets stuck or hitches when ratcheting. Despite that minor defect on one of them, my favorite screwdriver for household duty.

do not buy...
Would Not Recommendthe bits don't stay in at all and if you decide to put the extension on you get 30° of play in the drive shaft...

Liked it at the start
Would Not RecommendI had another Kobalt ratching screwdriver but I lost it. It didn't exactly work flawlessly. I bought this one because it was inexpensive. You get what you pay for. The stem of the screwdriver is wobbly after a half dozen uses. Very poor quality. Will be returning.
