  • Anyone seen this screwdriver/bitholder around anywhere?

    I bought it out of a bucket of them at the local electrical supply, then they was gone. The imprint says FASK or TASK, but if it's the same as Task Tools they've changed their logo. I love this thing, especially loaded with hex's like here. Random access, easily seen bits, good torque, you can push one out partway to see if its the right one for the screw before actually pulling it out, and being standard 1/4" size, you can use any powerdrive length bits, or any extension, or any 1/4" ratchet for the bit. Without a bit in the end you can throw it in your pocket without damaging clothing or self. There's an item called Teeny Turner that's close but not the same. If only I could find it again! So if you've seen it...

    I have one, the twin to yours. It was one of those things in a bucket at the checkout register. Unfortunately I cannot remember where ! Harbor freight maybe?

        I have something like that, sort of a ball-shaped handle with ratchet and storage for six bits accessed by means of a rotary selector with a hole in it. Probably got it at the Black and Decker outlet store or possibly Tractor Supply bargain bin.

        Here is something similar:



        I also have one like this, possibly bought in the Grainger showroom:




        Mine also has a magnet on a telescoping rod that can be used to position the bit in a deep hole.

        This is pretty close:




        I also have one or two of these:
        This is a very unique ball type handle ratchet screwdriver with a set of like new Torx and slot hex bit, plus Phillips bits that snap lock into the one end of the nickel plated driver shaft. The othe

          Here ya go:

          The Original Instant Multi. Is it the best? You decide. The original Picquic Professional or at-home use, the bit assortment you need most. Picquic, on a budget Shorter handle, shorter bits, nothing short


          A quality tool at a good price. I own two of the long and the stubby. Fantastic!

            Those don't seem any good to me.... wrong shape and goofy. had one, hated it, did a Tiffie and binned it.

            I like the regular screwdriver looking items that have a reversible shank holding two reversible bits, so you have two sizes of phillips and two sizes of straight blade right there all the time and easily accessible. Handles 95% of needs. The straight blades are made right, also, with a parallel sided tip.

            Looks kinda like a picquik, except that the shank pulls out and reverses, not the tips only.
            CNC machines only go through the motions.

              Here's mine. Bought at a small hardware store, possibly a True Value or Ace. It is a Picquic brand.

              7 bits, all of them small. The smallest torx is a t5.

              At the end of the project, there is a profound difference between spare parts and left over parts.

                I guess I need one of those.
                I never can find the correct Torx bit.
                The plastic holders don't always hold bits well and you lose the bit you need next.
                I have started keeping all of them in a zip lock bag.
                Problem with that is sorting through to find the right one.
                Those might solve the problem.

                I cut it off twice and it's still too short!

                  Makes me think of a PicQuic.

                    Ditto. I have a smaller, orange version that uses bits smaller than 1/4" hex, perhaps 3/16", but I never measured them. It might have been targeted more for smaller hands, but it's a nice tool that I keep in my office for fixing the printer and things like that.

                      I have several like yours too, although not Identical. Like many here they always seem to be near the checkout at the hardware store or tool outlets.
                      I have to ask, what is the advantage of the one you have vs. the PicQuic Teeny Turner?

                        Thanks all. Like I said, I'd seen the Picquic's but it's not exactly the same so I don't know if it will hold and store the 2" powerdrive bits properly, it's always shown with short inserts. I guess I'll buy a stubby and see. Can anyone tell me if the Teeny Turner uses a standard 4mm hex shank so I can load it with Allen inserts from McMaster?

                          Yes, that's exactly why I love it for the hex drivers!

                              TT takes 3/16" hex bits. Go look at their catalog.
