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.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.It's a great screwdriver to have around and the double drive does do what it advertises, and well, when it works. Fairly often it will jam on something and sometimes completely stop working. I'm considering exchanging it but I'm not sure how effective that would be given that I'm not the only person with this problem based on the other reviews.

Looks great but feels cheap
Would Not RecommendI was hoping for a quality product based on previous experience with Kobalt but this really let me down. The bit extension in the handle fits very loosely and the direction switch is easily changed unintentionally when in use. As for the magnetic bits, they again feel cheap and barely magnetic. There are better options out there.

Works OK
Would RecommendThe double drive portion only works for very low resistance screwing like a small machine screw or sheet metal screw. The # of bits in handle is good and they are standard size so you can swap them out. The bits don't lock in and will frequently come out when I'm using them. If I lost mine I would buy it again. I use it mainly for light jobs around the house or working on computers.

saves time
Would RecommendThis is an ingenious tool that limits the number of rotations needed to install or remove a fastener. For low voltage items i use it to install rack screws, plate covers, etc… with ease. Nifty tool.
