Multi Bit Ratcheting W/Square. The Product is Easy to Use and Easy to Handle. The Product is Highly Durable.
By Some Average Guy
For about the past 3 years (as of 6/24/16) this is the best multi-bit ratcheting screwdriver out there at any price. You just have to follow a few rules that make it go from average to “wow this is awesome”. I’ve purchased several for my own use and my work crews. Now what are the secrets you ask? Here they are:
1) First you go buy this screwdriver for the 3-1/2” bit format. That's the big deal. Use the longer bits one time and you'll never go back as they are superior to work with in about every way as long as you're not working in a tight space.
2) Immediately after opening the package, you take out those long shiny chrome bits that came with it and throw them in the trash. Every single one of them. They are all complete junk and unfit even for a random homeowner to assemble toys and whatnot with on the weekends.
3) Then you buy Milwaukee 48-32-4564 (5) #2 Phillips Shockwave 3-1/2" Power Bit versions of the 3-1/2” bits, or Klein Tools PH1355 #1 Phillips Power Drivers, 3-1/2" Bit (Pack of 5). Some makers don’t make some sizes so you have to mix and match. Use this opportunity to pick the right mix for what kind of work you do. For example you’ll have to get the PH1 / Phillips #1 from Klein if you want that size in a quality impact bit.
4) Now that you have these awesome impact bits, THIS SCREWDRIVER IS YOUR DRILL/IMPACT BIT HOLDER. Throw away all those cases of bits rolling around in your bag/drawer/whatever.
5) Make sure you have one more bit than your screwdriver handle holds (handle holds 6, so you want to keep 7 with it) – This forces you to leave 1 in the main shaft. You’ll need that one in the main shaft at all times because if you don’t have it to use to push a different bit out of the handle, you’re screwed. The only way you are getting one out of the handle, especially when new/stiff, is with something to jam in there and help slide ‘em out.
6) Pair this screwdriver with an impact driver such as the tiny and light but super powerful DEWALT DCF815S2 12-Volt Max 1/4-Inch Impact Driver Kit or the DEWALT DCF887B 20V MAX XR Li-Ion Brushless 0.25" 3-Speed Impact Driver. The bits swap out with a click and don’t need to be “chucked”. Unless you’re doing fine carpentry where precise torque setting or minute bit wobble can be a concern, you’ll find the driver to be more powerful and last longer than a regular drill. You can use drill bits, driver bits, paddle bits, whatever. The drivers are pound-for-pound quite the hoss.
7) Last but not least, buy the Milwaukee 48-32-4011 Shockwave Puck, 22-Piece so you have all the odd sizes for those rare jobs. It’s a great compact form and integrates with both this screwdriver and your drill/driver.
8) Enjoy having the right bit that fits well for every job and that never wears out/snaps/breaks. Enjoy not having a cluttered bag.
9) Lick your wounds from dropping a lot of cash for just a screwdriver.
Following this advice, the only way you won’t have what you need is if you lose something.
Obviously do not buy this screwdriver if you’re on a budget. You’re paying through the nose for form factor and quality of the screwdriver itself, replacing the costly inferior bits. Note: This can be bought as cheap as $13.
Happy screwdriving.

The best multi purpose screw driver on the market today. The bits are top quality and have held up in my MILWAUKEE Cordless Screwdriver. The fact that it ratchets has saved the day many times. I have one on each of my boats and in all my cars. Also use one in my professional repair ship

Love this thing! I use it along with all my impact driver attachments. I use it as a socket driver, and I even coupled it with my allen sockets and use it as an allen wrench! the ratchet mechanism works awesomely and it's nice to be able to lock it entirely when I need as well. The handle also feels nice to grip. I don't really care for the wire stripper or the wire bender - I just use strippers and pliers. I can't give much of a review on the quality of the tips yet, as I haven't used them that much yet. I noticed other milwaukee reviewers that complained of poor quality tool tips on a similar product, and I'll keep my eye on that. But for now, I am very pleased.

I just picked up one of these for $15 at Home Depot. It almost seemed like a pricing mistake. This is a sturdy, well balanced screwdriver that doesn't feel like it's going to fly out of your hand. The 7 included bits will tackle just about any project and the built-in wire stripper is a nice touch. I'll be using this as my main screwdriver and the Stanley 66-358 for tight spaces.

Ive always had good luck with Milwaukee tools. This is no different.
One poster wrote that the ratchet is too tight/heavy for most uses. They must have ended up with a faulty unit as the ratchet on mine is nice and free without being too free. The ratchet is very solid, no play or anything in it still while being very easy to use.
The bits are an excellent length. I use it to work on laser printers and computers and the bits are long enough to make easy work of every kind of repair Ive used it to do so far. No complaints what so ever. The bits are also easy enough to remove and replace in the holder where they are. One poster said that it hurt his fingers to remove the bits. Again, might be a faulty unit that make it through QC some how.
I love the look of it as well. For my asthetics, it fits very well. The red/black is very visually appealing as is the rest of the design. As long as the tool works and does its job, looks arent important so this is just a convenient bonus.
Overall, an excellent tool. The screwdriver is built like a tank and I think it will last a long time. Chances are I will probably lose it one way or another before it actually wears out.

One of the most-used screwdriver sets in my tool "go" bag, so I bought a 2nd one. And one for a gift. (Should have ordered a case). Someone wrote that pushing out the bits hurt his finger. That made me chuckle after I got my first set. This unit is quite sturdy and secure, and the length of the bits is great for recessed screws, like on TV's and other assembled units. Some ratchet drivers pop out of "manual" easily, but this driver hasn't done that to me yet. Might be hard to replace these bits when they eventually wear, but I have seen some long bit sets "out there." I love these!

I carry this multi tool around every where and I love it....u will never be let down with it...specially if u are a maintenance worker
By Carl Frascogna
I am able to switch the bits between my Milwaukee 12v drill and the hand driver. Very useful
By MR FIX 649
good set for service panels on washers dryers and like and handyman work as well
By S.E. Powers
I love this screwdriver it has everything I need and it really cleaned the clutter out of my tool box by getting rid of all the single screwdrivers. Very nice quality product.
