Klein Tools 32500MAG Magnetic Multi-Bit Screwdriver / Nut Driver, 11-in-1 Multi Tool with 8 Bits, 3 Nut Driver Sizes, Cushion Grip Handle

I bought this as an upgrade to the first 11n1 I bought 2 years ago. That screwdriver was fantastic for alot of jobs an electrician does. The Philips, square and flat tips were used pretty heavily and worked great with positive traction on screws. I particularly liked that i could easily change from a Philips or flat tip to a square bit with just a flip of the shaft. The disadvantage to these small bits is that they are easy to lose. They have a tendency to stick in the screw when you pull away. If your not watching you'll easily leave it behind and not know it. I never lost a bit in the 2 years I had it. I gave the old one to a coworker and he lost a bit in 2 days of owning it. This new magnetic version is supposed to be an improvement on the bits. I will have to spend some time with it to see if that's true. I'll update this review in a while and see what's up with the bits. The shaft is longer than the old version too. Other than the longer shaft and bit improvements this screwdriver feels and is pretty much as the original. Feels good in my hand. One hand operation is comfortable and easy. Magnetic holds a panhead tech screw without dropping it. Bit pulled out with screwdriver and not in the screw. This screwdriver is still offten used even though I own a rachet 15n1 also. Keeps me from having to change bits for different screws. I also should say i own the Ideal 12n1 screwdriver also. Side by side comparison there is a difference in the handles. The Ideal brand has a bigger diameter and was easier to use one handed. The rubber grips on both are textured the same, the grip on the Ideal brand was wider and covered more of my hand as i turned it. Except for the small difference in the rubber grip the 2 of them were identical as the operation of the shaft goes. The Ideal brand still uses a dimpel ring to secure the bits, while also making the bits slightly larger. So as usual the Klein brand 11n1 design showed up to work, while the engineering is keeping up-to-date with other top manufacturers. You should get it, it's nice to have around. Just keep an eye on the bits when you use it.

Apprentice Electrician. This is a rare case of a multifunction tool pulling its weight. This screw driver has gotten me out of so many binds, and is truly a workhorse tool. If your looking for a multi-function screwdriver for around the house this is all you should need and then some.

Bought this for myself - I’m a Klein brand believer, i have other tools from them. Liked it so much got one for my best friend as a present. Hey the girls buy stuff for each other all the time, this was a quality tool that doesn’t demand an expensive return give. Great value, precise, has the bits you probably need, compact and I keep this one in the house not with the tools in the garage. Very few tools reside in the house. Lots of stuff needs these small bits, from toys to battery compartments with TINY screws. You won’t return it, your significant other will want one.

My husband ordered this for his job. He says it’s been great! Works well for the areas he needs. He’s a journeyman electrician and works it tight spaces and he says this is what he needs for those spaces. Durable and sized well. Easy to use and store! He would purchase it again!

Maybe user error, but I bent the bit within a week. As far as I know, you can't buy replacements. I ordered a similar bit from Home Depot but it was too long. If you're going to use this carefully, it is a nice concept and useful tool. If you're in an industrial environment where you need to solve problems quickly and maybe end up torquing on things too much, avoid. Maybe carry a couple of Wera or Wiha micro drivers.

Klein makes the best 11 and 1. They are sturdy and last a long time.

I'm an itinerant IT guy who specializes in small to medium business, which means I'm into a wide range of services and devices. I constantly need to open all kinds of devices and I love that this little guy is literally designed to live in your pocket. The sliding barrel in the lower half of the handle makes a great cover to keep it from stabbing you from your pocket. The bit holder is longer on one side which makes it short in your pocket but longer when needed. Build quality is typical good Klein stuff and it just works. I've been carrying one for a few years now and plan to until I retire or after.

Great tool I had one before and lost it in less then two days so I bought the three pack and I’m so happy I did I love variety of bits and the storage capacity great tool
