This pocket screwdriver is intended to give a boost to my previous precision interchangeable screwdriver system, and I am so satisfied with what it provides.
My previous system is modified by me to be fit in a 5"x3" plastic case, but I still feel that size too big for my precious room in my commuting bag.
And I must tell you, some 7 or more bits and a screwdriver, taking only slightly larger space of a fountain pen, this is the prefect solution for me!
First of all, all-metal construction, quality control is outstanding, no structural issues found so far. Note there is no O-ring on the cap. Not water-proof? Come on, for this price, seriously?! Just forget it!
The base of what holds your bits is magnetic, so that you won't lose your screws that easily; the body, known as a hollow tube storing your spare bits, can actually hold up to 9 of them, or even more. Actually it can fit any other, I mean, all 4 mm bits perfectly and you can throw them in without any hesitation - exactly what I did.
Clip is deep and tight, again, for its price. If you can't trust it in your pants, just put it somewhere in your bag, just like me. Friction is good, both with gloves and bare bands. If your hands are wet it might still be an issue though.
Pros:
1. It has a solid all-metal body;
2. The room inside was used maximum, stores bits more than enough for daily use;
3. It takes so little room, impressive for what it can do;
4. Bits are all standard 4 mm ones, can easily find an alteration;
5. Magnet for small screws.
Cons:
1. Wish it has an lanyard hole;
2. Clip can be improved;
3. Factory bits should have more options (although I am using aftermarket ones and feeling good with that).
Conclusion:
Cons don't worth drip a star, just buy it!

Another great tool at a very good price. The knurled surfaces are good for getting a good grip and for an aid in turning the tool during use. The integral storage of the extra pieces is always a plus and offers multiple possibilities for a single tool. I plan to order more for gifts to my sons and grandsons. I was lucky that I received a black one as I wanted. I would like to see the choice of colors as an option for the buyer instead of the supplier.

I was pleasantly surprised to open the box and find such a useful tool.
It isn't as small as I thought it would be but it fits perfectly where I need it too.
The 7-In-1 Precision pocket screw driver comes in different colors but the one we received is gold which of course who doesn't love gold?
This isn't made with plastic which was what my awesome Husband expected to see and he was shocked to see it was made out of 100% steel! SOLD!
The sizes included are: (4) Flat Screwdriver Bits: 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 1/8-Inch and Phillips Screwdriver Bits: #000, #00, #0.
We're really happy to know that this product comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee cause lets face it, accidents do happen and so do children lol
If you want a great deal and an even better product, this comes highly suggested by our Family!

I have two screwdrivers like this: this one, and another by Kikkerland, which I think I paid $3 for at a hardware store. This one lives in my desk/workbench, and the Kikkerland goes in my pocket whenever I play one of my saxes to deal with loose screws immediately.
I'll just compare these drivers briefly:
This one is definitely better-made than the Kikkerland. The threading on the cap is more snug and the magnet for the bits is stronger. They both have about the same amount of play with the bits, which isn't bad.
The bits are interchangeable on the hex end, so both drivers take each other's bits. Both came with the same three Phillips, but the Kikkerland had three flatheads, and also two Torx heads, which you don't see much but are around. I mixed and matched the bits for my needs and am quite happy.
One piece of advice: even this one's cap has a habit of backing itself off, and the Kikkerland is worse. If you plan to keep one of these in your pocket, take it as soon as you get it and drill out a hole in the center of the cap. Enlarge until it is just large enough to get some twine or nylon (take your pick) through, then knot that on the inside of the cap so it stays. Take the free end and tie it tightly to the pocket clip (or ideally notch a side of the pocket clip and tie it into the notch). Once you do this, the string will catch the cap if it backs itself off.

Use this for computer/mobile repair needs. Seems high quality material and well constructed, has a good weight in your hand. The textured grips do their job without cutting your fingers. I like how the bits hide in the body of the pen. The bits are slightly magnetized and will attract screws enough to hold them after removal. This replaced a set of screwdrivers with handles that I lost, and I will stick with this version of these tools going ahead to save space and keep them on my desk in a pen holder. Includes 0 phillips, 00 phillips, 000 phillips, 1/8 flat, 1/16 flat, 3/32 flat, 5/64 flat.

You can do things the hard way or the easy way. I like easy so I got this nifty pen that made putting a new PC together a joke.

A great thing to have in your tool bag/box for those times when you run into a small screw and don't have a full precision bit set. 100% metal construction, should be very durable. Mine has kind of crappy threading but that's typical for this type of item at this price.

> After buying one for myself, I purchased a dozen more as gifts for every one of my male relatives and friends.
> Impressive, beautifully machined of all steel. A precision tool, at a remarkable price ($4 when I purchased it).
> The ~ 1/2 inch knurled barrel allows your fingers to put plenty of torque into loosening tight screws.
> 3 Phillips bits and 4 straight bits of different sizes, all of which fit into the barrel
MINOR SHORT COMINGS
> Unfortunately, you don't get your choice of color, I received both black and gold.
> A magnet holds the bit in place, but also holds onto the bits stored in the barrel---so you have to tap the open end on a surface to get the last two out.

Had it for a week, and have already used it a handful of times. It's got a small form factor, which means you can carry it around with you if you really want to. It's just very convenient to have with you. And as a result, it's gotten pulled out to do small things that probably would have gone ignored if it wasn't in my pocket.
Only issue I have is the magnet that holds the bits is rather weak. Not this tool isn't going to be used for any big jobs anyways. And the magnet is strong enough to keep the bits from falling out on their own. Still I would have liked to have a way to lock the bits in, or at least a stronger magnet. It hasn't caused any problems yet, and I doubt it will, since I know what I'm using for things. This is a small project screwdriver for convenience. I'm not going to be using it for any major projects on heavy equipment. But for random household things, or small devices, this works great. And it's cheap enough to carry around with you, or leave lying around somewhere you know you can grab it if you need something quick.

Quite sturdy micro-screwdriver set, tiny tools which sit just inside the opening via a magnet (don't frustrate yourself trying to open the end to insert the screwdriver tip... Uhm, like I did...
