Great review as usual. I like to see reviews on tools people use often. We really enjoy your channel. Mikita tools have been good to me. The bit recommendations were also very helpful.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Like you, I use the impact driver as much as you can but that ratcheting screwdriver for the money is the best hands down too Steve. I like how you have organized all your bits in one box. Thanks and Cheers

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks Lloyd 👍

I still use screwdrivers in a great amount compared to power tools for installing and removing fasteners. Perhaps that's because I have about 65,000,000 screwdrivers of all kinds, littered about my place , in and under and around every workbench, shed and vehicle toolbox, and only have about 5 cordless drills. The ratio alone would tell the story. Yes, Steve, I'm "Old School" (and old LOL) so It is no surprise that when something needs screwing up, I'm there. Nice review!

[@SteveRobReviews]

I'm old school too when needed 😅

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Very nice, thanks Steve. I had one years ago but misplaced it. Makes me want another. Good stuff buddy

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Kenny Good to share the tools we buy and use. Cheers bud 👍

[@PinetreeLine]

Looks like a good buy to me Steve. I flip back and forth between regular screwdrivers and ratcheting screwdrivers basically because I have many of both so depending where I am in the house or out in the shed dictates what I’m using 😂. Great stuff Buddy!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Doug We do seem to collect a few screwdrivers over time eh :)

[@wtbm123]

I still use my screw drivers a lot . I will show it in a video sometime , but my favorite ratchet screwdriver the handle can be straight or angled to get better grip to turn . . I have had it probably 6 years .I like how the handle on it works . The light on it is junk , but the rest is great. PISTOL GRIP LED LIGHTED SCREWDRIVER Part No: 668 . Cal Van sells them. $25

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Terry Yes absolutely show it 👍

[@bwselectronic]

I only buy impact bits. I have powered screwdrivers that range from a kids fat pencil size to small drill. One of the problems with most is they are big in your hands. I like the ones I can control the speed and torque.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Yes the impacts bits last a long time .

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Bonjour Steve, I realy like you sence of humor Steve ( you always bring my spirit up 👌👍😇) Yes I'm like you ( electrical, wood working and mechanic ). Makita Makes OUTSTANDING Tools ( hand and electrical ). OUTSTANDING Review and at the Great Price Sir 😇👍 Have a nice week Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks Dave , something different, something new . Cheers 👍

[@DIYVariety]

I have a ratchet screw driver somewhere have to look for it lol they are great for arthritis if the handle is big. Thanks steve.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Jason The power tools are great but also great at not being so great after you wished you manually used a screwdriver:)

[@snocrushr]

my fav drivers are Vessel brand. It's a JIS standard which is different than Philips and doesn't cam out.

[@SteveRobReviews]

I've seen them , not too popular in the big box stores but you get what you pay for and some just like price not function :)

[@PAPATexas]

Makita is a good brand. You should store your Sharpies upside down to keep the ink sitting on the felt. Steve loves Deck Screws! I have a lot of screwdrivers, but the bits and ratcheting are the easiest to use. I don't think I have bought a Bosch.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Papa I store them up thinking of them smokin hot summer days hitting 80F they would drip down into the cap .

[@gatorsworld]

I only use the impact and I’ve yet to try Busch, I’ve seen the good tip and only use the trade ones that we get at a supplier but there’s some better ones I’m sure. One thing to try is the torque head but a bit more expensive......CHEERS

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Gator I like to try different stuff and rarely do I find good stuff on the cheap:)

[@TinManKustoms]

I've bought the Milwaukee ratcheting screw driver kit at home depot a few years back and it has been my favorite screw driver. Same concept as yours except the bits are stored in the handle on both the stubby and standard length handle.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Milwaukee is awesome as well. 👍

[@ThacMan]

The older I get the more I rely on my Milwaukee 12v driver for screws. You still got to have screw drivers and ratcheting beats non ratcheting. I have always favored Makita stuff.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Yes sir exactly. 👍

[@georgedavall9449]

If you're referring to that old brushed 12V, YES! One of my favs, and probably one of the best Milwaukee has ever made. Quick release collet, a clutch, and easy to modulate trigger.

[@tonydillinger2553]

I've been looking at wera, vessel bits, makita has gone downhill unless you get the actual japanese makita, the new klein 11 in 1 impact is nice, but german and japanese no there stuff.

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

I think you found a great value on the screw driver! And yes I use screw drivers all the time. My bit of choice is Milwaukee all the way👍 Thanks Steve✌

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Marc Good quality tools make for great outcomes 👍

[@chungaleta1234]

Those screwdrivers and the ratcheting spanners are a great invention. Specially for tight spaces.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Victor So many great tools out there to choose from. Cheers 👍

[@johnbeeman2431]

Great video Steve

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks John , much appreciated 👍

[@JimE6243]

Like the US 2A hat(Browning) "... in American this is like $1.99... maybe $2." LOL!!! JimE

[@georgedavall9449]

Oooh, my lame post COVID brain! I will check out that Makita ratcheting screwdriver. Love your comments describing how some people may not know of these things. There is the VALUE in Your content! Always look forward to more. I’ll tell ya a secret; I hit the like button before I even start watching! Take care Stay safe!

[@SteveRobReviews]

George watch the price if on Amazon as it goes up and down constantly. Cheers 👍

[@NorthlanderMN]

That Makita is $11.99 here on Amazon in Minnesota. I’m gonna have to check the Bosch bits out. I think I’m gonna buy that tool. Great advice. Would also make a great Christmas gift.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Cheers 👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I'd say that was a great price for the Makita ratcheting driver. I personally don't like them but that's just me. I do have some of those 'tapered' Robertson bits you were looking for. And it's good that you don't have any because, like you said, they are garbage!! Nothing worse than a bit that is worn out!! Great review here Steve and I'm going to have a look for Bosch bits and give them a try. I have some Milwaukee bits now and they aren't too bad but not great!! Take care!!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Mike , there's so much variety today it's hard to pick. Take Care 👍

[@BruceLyeg]

I have a Milwaukee ratcheting screw driver that I like and use when I can. Aside from working on cars I rarely use a hand screw driver and even there I use a 3.7v cordless screwdriver whenever I can. Most everything else get the impact driver. Ryobi bits are pure trash, Milwaukee aren't much better so I've been using DeWalt, which are ok but not perfect. I'll give the Bosch impact bits a try. Cheaper at HD or Amazon?

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Bruce , Amazon is cheaper when the price drops , it always drops over time.

[@PaiviProject]

👍👍

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Paivi 👍

[@georgedavall9449]

Hey Steve!!!!! Come on, admit it, you like the Bosch because they label the Square drive R1, R2, etc, owing to ‘Robertson,’ which All good Canadians refer to them as! 🙄 😂 🤣 I get it at how screwdrivers have become passé, so to speak. But they still have a place. I do find myself using my M18 Surge to put many fasteners in that I used to do by hand. But it’s kinda like how a young Carpenter shows up on a new job; He better have an old fashioned hammer hanging off his tool belt! There will be a time and place he will need it, and same goes for screwdrivers, in a way, I guess. Seriously, will have to take a look at Bosch. I’ve had great luck with both Makita, and Milwaukee bits, and yes, they do cost more, but the fit in the fasteners is so great. Less slippage equals longer lasting? Oh, btw, You’re way more ‘Professional’ than You give yourself credit for. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; You are practical and down to Earth, and no nonsense. I appreciate that! Cheers! 👍✌

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks buddy , I try them all but bosch is on par with milwaukee at a price that makes me hit the buy now button 🤣🤣
