Klein Tools Precision 27-in-1 Multi-Bit Screwdriver

I added a photo of the included list of bits. Funny it’s not one of the photos in the main gallery. Utility knife for scale.

It’s a bit bigger and heavier than the other Klein electronics screwdriver. But that’s to be expected. I’ll likely keep it in my tool bag and not on my tool belt.

The small hex bits will be nice for those light fixtures and wall temp sensors, where using a tiny hex key is clumsy and slow.

Some have written less favorable reviews stating the bits are hard to remove or return to the carrier. Please notice that the clip is asymmetric . Bits slide in and out easily closest to the part between the two levels of bits. Its not meant to pull bits straight out to the side or replace them straight in. Lift out one end and its easy. The cap spins nicely too and the magnet is strong. Also sizes are not always incremental in the same bit part. The next size is likely in another bit. For this price, anyone who owns anything from eye glasses to iphone (or smart phone) should have one. Also SSD card drives in computers. Fits screws in amateur radio gear too. I also found that sliding the bits against the middle part that separates the two levels of bits makes it easier to see the tips on both ends of the bit and to facilitate selection.

This is truly an excellent tool. It is well-constructed at every detail and feature with excellent ergonomics and more than all the bits one typically needs for small electronics dismantling, repair, and component replacement. It also works well for glasses and small fasteners found in other assemblies. Apple proprietary, tiny Torx, tiny Phillips, tiny Allen hex, tiny flathead, other exotic or unusual bits, you name it and more, sized from rather tiny uncommon tips you’re seeking to standard PH2 Phillips and even T10 Torx, both of which are almost too big and on the verge of being out of place here relative to the small fastener jobs the other bits handle. It has a magnetic feature which is the appropriate strength to be convenient to hold and direct fasteners well enough, a smooth spinning and never binding top to hold fasteners down while quickly turning clockwise or counterclockwise once fastener heads are engaged and fastener shafts are threaded properly, the appropriate length body and shaft for the work to be done while still accommodating “man hands” — plus when you pull on the spinny top with a little more force, the entire innards of the barrel with neatly arrayed bits pops over an internal catch and smoothly slides out and also spins so you can hunt down and access the bit needed for the job. The bit carriage itself is well constructed, holds the bits well, is the appropriate rigidity of plastic (not too much, not too little) to hold or release bits if tugged on without being too difficult or too loose, and is clean well-molded black plastic without slop or flashing you might see on cheaper inferior tools with integrated bit storage carriages. It’s noteworthy that the hex measurements of the bits themselves are smaller than the typical quarter inch (3.5mm). The barrel has a tight-fitting black rubber sleeve that does not slide around and is of good quality and just the right amount of grip. Under the grip is the typical smooth and well-molded quality yellow translucent hard plastic handle typical for Klein screwdrivers. The bits cleanly slide into and positively snap into position in the shaft tip for use, and stay there and require a bit more force to disengage and detach and remove for switching bits, ensuring that they almost never come out inadvertently. There is a little touch of play in the bit once engaged in the tip of the shaft, but nothing worthy of star demotion and not negatively impactful during use, from my observations. Most impressive tool I have bought in some time, coming from someone with an array of Milwaukee, GearWrench, and other good quality (but non-tool truck) tools. How I got by all those years of small disassembly / assembly and electronics repair with meager cheapo jeweler screwdriver sets and those cheap plastic disposable tools that come with repair kits, I dunno. I wish I knew this existed earlier and had bought it in the past. For 20 bucks, it’s well worth it if in addition to auto and home repairs one also engages in periodic laptop, cell phone, stereo, etc. repairs with small (like M2 +/-) fasteners. I have done Samsung cell phones, laptops, PCs, glasses, etc. all these years with occasional difficulty with inferior tools. I bought this because I needed T5 for my failing Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 cooling fans. In addition, I immediately used the sharply and precisely chiseled Phillips PH00 tip for some of the differently-headed other M2 screws in there and it positively engages and grips the head of the fastener precisely and without drama or slippage. Highly recommended if your domestic household or professional jobs sound like some of the tasks I described. Truly an excellent and useful and quality designed and fabricated tool. Many thumbs up on utility and value. I am thoroughly impressed with how well-made a relatively simple bit holding screwdriver could be in every facet and design feature. I know, it’s just a screwdriver, but I am very glad I selected this and not just a single T5 Torx bit or another array of dedicated screwdriver sets. When you consider the limitations of those versus the extra bits and superior handle and magnetic qualities of this coupled with having every small bit you need in one place, this is clearly superior and a better value. Highly recommended. I know I am gushing a bit, so I note that I am writing this review without external encouragement or motivation, just acknowledging quality and value. One can still be occasionally impressed when coming upon a quality product that is reasonably priced and an excellent value. Go figure. Cheers and enjoy.

Brilliant

I do a lot of controls work and this has been a game changer. It’s great to have all the bits when you need them!

I just used this to build my whole new PC and it was great for a small space and delicate task. I had no issues and changing thw bit was not a problem at any point.
