Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 10-Piece Plastic Handle Ratcheting Multi-bit Screwdriver Set

Kobalt Ratchet Screwdrivers are trash - Do not buy

I have had two different models of Kobalt ratcheting screwdrivers recently that within the first couple uses, the screwdriver lost attachment to the head socket due to a flimsy connection design causing the screwdriver to literally fall apart into pieces and be rendered unusable. And due to the design of the connector, there is no realistic way to try and put it back together. This particular one has a C shaped pin that slipped off the shaft and cannot be reconnected. I cannot return either Koba...

Kobalt Ratcheting screwdriver

The ratcheting screwdriver is great. However, the long bits supplied with the screwdriver do not fit inside the handle.

Well-designed and comfortable to use

I had been looking for a decent ratchet driver for a long time because I have so many bits from various sets. The main use for me is when I'm using my electric impact driver, sometimes I want more control, especially at the end where I can feel when it's tight so it doesn't overtighten, like for soft woods. I want to quickly remove the bit and transfer it to this driver. My main requirements are that it have a quick-release like impact drivers, and would work with standard bits. This exceede...

Accessory bits don’t fit in handle

The ratcheting screwdriver works fine. The bits are too long to fit in handle. Lowe’s use to sell a set that did allow the bits to fit in the handle. There is no point in selling these bits with the screwdriver. The need to carry 5 separate bits and a screwdriver defeats the purpose of this item. This should be a screwdriver that contains all bits necessary to complete a job. Otherwise, why not just carry 6 separate screwdrivers?

Looked Good in the Store

This product looked good in the store when I compared products. I particularly liked the ratcheting action over similar offerings. Got it home only to find out the bits won't fit in the handle. I even looked for a set of bits that would fit in the handle and Lowes did not have one. Heading back to the store to return this one once I send this review. Disappointing (and I see others have written similar reviews--WAKE-UP Lowes!).

Not well thought out

Changing the bits is easy, the ratcheting is smooth, locks and direction change is good. The base opens BUT the bits DO NOT FIT IN THE BASE. What's the point of having base storage if the bits don't fit. I have an older Kobalt ratcheting screwdriver that works great, bits store in the base, not available online or in the store anymore. Too bad, the old design was light years ahead of this one.

accurate

not generally a fan of ratchets like this. this worked well and let me do a difficult job

Great screwdriver!

Perfect for getting things done around the house. The metal is during and durable, and stitching heads is a snap!

Bits are replaceable. The driver is great

Why is everyone adding a review saying the exact same thing. As if they bought the kit only for the bits. Ok! We know the bits don't fit. If it's that important Simply use bits of your choice that do! You are not limited only to what comes in the kit. It's simply a added feature that is still useful to hold bits or assessories of your choice. But please stop complaining & giving bad reviews based be on removable, replaceable bits that has nothing to do with the function or performance of the S...

Great screwdriver set!

Bought this in conjunction with three tool kits as a supplementary ratcheting screwdriver, excellent buy. I prefer this far more to the ones that came in the kits; this one has extra-long bits which are very useful for even minor tasks such as tightening the handles on pots and pans. 10/10, would buy again.
