My Thoughts On The Screwdriver/Nutdriver

Klein Tools 11-in-1 Screwdriver TipsOver the last year or so we’ve reviewed quite a few new “all in one” screwdrivers.  The industry surely understands the demand for these tool belt staples. I have to say the Klein 11-in-1 is by far my favorite to date and it wins by a long shot. The things that I like most are:

  • I love the simple design that most “all-in-one” screwdrivers use, it’s far less cumbersome that some of the new designs on the market that store the bits in the handle.
  • I particularly like the short bits. Some of the other designs on the market use longer bits and I find them far less “stable” and prone to move in the bit holder.
  • Each “bit” uses a spring loaded bearing that holds the bit in the holder. This is a MUCH better design compared to the “friction fit” option that others use.
  • Finally I find the grip on the Klein to be one of the best I’ve used on a screwdriver, soft yet strong enough for superior grip.

Overall I think the Klein Tools 11-in-1 Screwdriver/Nutdriver is an exceptional value and quality. Priced around $13.50 these should be in every tool box and tool belt around the Country! If you want to buy one online you can here: Klein Tools 11-in-1 Screwdriver/Nutdriver 32500

What Our Giveaway Winner Thought

Manuel from Fresno, CA was the winner of our Klein giveaway earlier this summer.

The handle is firm and makes twisting a lot easier. The four screwdriver bits are great when working with EMT, switch and receptacle plates. There is no need to carry multiple screwdrivers. The nut drivers are awesome, I was working in my car (replacing burned out bulbs, and installing a car stereo), my nephew wants  the Klein tool, he is a mechanic. But no way, it is mine.

Overall I give a 5 star rating!

Huge thank you to Manuel for sharing his experience with the new tool.

    I have the 11n1 and the 5n1, and I feel the opposite of you about short bits. I prefer the longer hex section 5n1 bits, they just seem more “trustworthy”.
