Usually the first thing that I have to reach for is some sort of screwdriver, whether it's a Torx, Phillips, Flat, etc. Right now I use a Klien rubber handled phillips that doesn't grab that well, a Craftsman flat blade that is nice, and individual Torx and square bits in a small plastic case with a hard plastic screwdriver handle that is uncomfortable. Just wondering what everyone else is using; ratcheting, 6 in 1, individual bits in a case, a whole set of screwdrivers? Below is a link for cordless drivers, but wondering about manual drivers, Thanks!
Who here uses a cordless drill/driver for dissasembly/rea...

Is it just me, or does anyone else keep losing parts to klein 11-1? Countless times I reverse the socket expecting a reversible bit and lo and behold...aint nothing there. Maybe i should get the williams ratcheting since it appears to use standard (replaceable!) bits and use the klein for its excellent built-in nut drivers.

Appliantology is, however appliances are not, an exact science for I know there are a few refrigerators that actually hate me.

One tool lost in 8 years? That's amazing. Maybe I need to get your toolbag (more than likely, it's your organizational skills I really need)

.15 plus years of service.....Snap-On, of course.....
Just got one last week.....man is it smooth. I also got this jewel http://www.amazon.co...22606081&sr=8-1. German engineered but the Snap on is a tad bit smoother. The Wera beats the snap-on in bit storage. The body of the wera has a spring loaded hidden compartment that secures each bit. It opens up when you press the button on top of the handle. Really cool. For those that wonder why i bought two high performance ratchets? i dunno...because they're there? Well, lemme see...do you ask your neighborhood drug addict why he bought two packs of stuff instead of one? No? So leave me alone then!

Have had that exact same driver for almost as long. Also the first tool I reach for. Great minds and all that!
