CRAFTSMAN Ratcheting Screwdriver, Multibit Set, 26-Piece (CMHT68001)

A rock solid value in a well designed quality tool. I really like how the driver shaft extends and locks in three positions for added versatility. The ratcheting mechanism is easy to operate and has a smooth ,fine action. I like the zippered canvas case and the fact that there is some room to add a few extras if you like.The bit selection is pretty good but you may want to add extras or something else and there is room in the case for that. I added a 1/4 inch socket adaptor and 12 1/4 in sockets with six each in metric and SAE. The included extendable magnet attachment may come in handy also. Overall a great tool as a stand alone purchase and also nice to use as the basis for a small packable kit. I would recommend and buy again.

I read all the reviews on this and “not fitting in the case” was not an issue I cared about. One of the features of the screwdriver is a telescopes. The problem is when telescoped out it does not lock in place. It should get to each notch and lock in. To release you pull the black collar back to retract it. as soon as you put pressure on it it pushes back in on its own. for the simple fact that that feature does not work is why I give it one star. I’m sending it back and getting the craftsman screwdriver with the bits inside the handle. As you can see in the pictures, I did not pull in the collar, simply push down with little to no effort.UPDATE: today I received the replacement from Amazon and this one works perfectly as it was intended. Got a lemon.As seen in other reviews I removed the snap ring so the telescope fits nicely with the magnet. Nice tool.

This is a really good screwdriver to keep in the drawer for small things. I don't think I would use it to work on cars or anything like that, but putting together a piece of IKEA furniture and little odd bits around the house, it works great. I don't know what foot pound pressure the screwdriver is rated for and I don't want to test it out either. It works exactly how I want it to for things that wanted to do.The carrying case is super convenient too. It has a magnetic pole for those screws that fall in weird places or just if you don't want to bend down. We like it, you like it a lot Great value for the price paid.

I bought this ratcheting screwdriver because the drive switch engages towards the tightening direction. Other ones are opposite. On those I find myself catching the switch and unlocking it. I like that it has a lock setting for standard driving.The driver is solid. A relatively low back drag and there are some other great features that makes this tool useful. The handle is ergonomic, the bit retaining collett spins, it has a multi (3) position extension shaft and the magnet that holds the bits is decent. I do wish the shaft was removable. The bits seem to be decent but I wasn't buying this kit for them. I wish there was some on-board storage for them.I recommend this kit.

Love the storage case and all the different pieces that come with it. Works great and is definitely has durability. All the different pieces are great for different screw sizes.

This seems to be a "love or hate" product when you read the reviews.For me...Not having nut drivers was no big deal. The listing didn't offer them and I already have them.I bought the set for what it was, ratcheting screw driver with phillips, straight, hex head, square head and torx tips.There was also mention of "not fitting in the case". But, if you released the extension from it's first position, it drops into the handle and easily fits in the case.I did not like how the magnetic wand fit in the extension and after reading areview that mentioned how a person solved the "not fitting in the case" issue, I did exactly what the reviewer described. I removed the ratchet head and the lock ring that prevented the extension from coming out of the handle. (See the first photo).Now the extension comes out of handle and the magnetic wand fits into the handle without the extension. Please know, if you do this, the extension slides out easily, when not locked into one of the length settings. This may have been why the ring was put on, so that certain users wouldn't complain about the extension "falling out".For me, this is exactly how I wanted the screw driver to be, so I'm happy and thank that reviewer.As to tips not directly fitting into the ratchet head and falling into the handle.... that hasn't been the case with this one. The second photo shows the PH3 tip that came with the set, sitting directly in the ratchet head. The tip is seated and will not push through. The only difference between being directly in the ratchet head vs. the extension, is that it fits a little looser (as the ratchet head is not magnetized like the extension).I did not expect the magnetic wand to be as strong as it is. There is pic that shows my car keys, 4 feet in the air, with the extension bending slightly under the weight of them. This pick up also paid for the set by retrieving an oil plug that fell into the drain pan during an oil change.The thing I find weird with the screwdriver, is that the extension does not lock in when seated all the way in against the ratchet head. It has to be extended to the first notch to be locked in. This is why it doesn't fit the case, unless it is released. This is shown in the third photo. But, as I can remove the extension and use the ratchet head directly, it doesn't matter to me.For the price, it ratchets in both directions, locks to become a solid driver and is comfortable in the hand. There are multiple tips, telescoping magnetic pick up and case.For what I've done with it, it's been great and should be even better when I magnetize the ratchet head.

Really like this screwdriver because it's nice having all the fitting I'll need at the project site rather than running back and forth to the tool box. Pretty well made and I got it at a great price. Would buy again.
