Lutz 21001 15-in-1 Ratchet Screwdriver, Blue

The most functional tool I've ever owned. I've owned/used two other ratchet screwdrivers, but none come close to the ease of use or reliability of this one. I happily own multiple of these so I can have one handy whenever I need it.

I have always used Klein multi drivers exclusively, but lately I've needed phillips #3 bits on hand a lot, and no Klein driver has #3 phillips bits in it.This Lutz driver gets great reviews, both on Amazon and other tool websites. I figured I would give it a shot and it could at least be put in a kitchen drawer as a home use driver.This thing is great! The handle is very clever that it has the bit storage, and yet is a comfortable and useful handle, all without being too big or bulky. I was hesitant about the ratchet mechanism - usually I prefer drivers not to have the ratchet feature since it can be fragile and just make the screwdriver bulky. Not the case here! The ratchet mechanism is all metal, and the driver isn't too big and bulky. The selection of bits are great. This is a well-engineered tool.I've bought many a multi-driver where the back pops off to reveal its bit storage - those things always break and are very fragile. The bit storage on this driver looks very durable.

I purchased this screwdriver roughly a year ago and I just came back to purchase a second one for a Christmas gift. This is the PERFECT set to buy and keep in your truck or car, or keep in the upstairs of your house so it is always available. If it has a standard screw on it that needs loosened or tightened you can count on this screwdriver having a bit for it and that bit will always be easy to find because it is in the handle of the screwdriver. It is one tool that does many different jobs so you can take one tool instead of a whole tool case.My wife does not comment on many things but she has told me how convenient it is to have this screwdriver around on more than one occasion and that is saying a lot.The construction feels solid and the ratchet can be turned on and off. The ratchet is very strong and has a good positive feel to it.

I bought a new/old wooden boat 20 years ago. The boat was then roughly 70 years old and needed a lot of work. Refastening all the planking required new silicon bronze screws and I chose square heads to prevent camming out. This was the screwdriver I bought to handle them, so I've used this driver probably thousands of times. I've bought five or six over the years to give to my children and fill out took boxes at my boat, home, and at the farm. It's a superbly designed multi-tip ratcheting screwdriver and it confounds me that Wirecutter has neglected it (I've written them). The handle tip holding mechanism is the best I've seen because it can't be lost, the ratcheting mechanism works flawlessly, and the handle is comfortable in the hand. It looks flimsy but isn't. I'm still using the first I bought all those years ago, as well as now several others.

A great little tool for those places where you don't have room (or need) for a full set of screwdrivers. Well made and easy to use.The only point that keeps this from earning 5 stars is that the screwdriver tips (or, alternately the base into which they attach), is not magnetized. But that wasn't enough to not purchase it or give it a very good recommendation.A very good value for an extremely useful and well made tool that more than adequately takes the place of many other tools.

Does the job, but it could use a slot blade one size larger.

My sister (handywoman) recommended this screwdriver and luckily it arrived while she was visiting. She thinks they are excellent and commented several times how happy she was that I had one.

The most versatile, convenient and useful screwdriver I have ever owned. So many bits and they stay in the base with no issues. I wish the bits were magnetic but that is my only want. The ratcheting and ergonomics are fantastic

Very good tool...handle is a touch short making it more difficult to grasp properly...
