Customer Reviews for Husky 12-in-1 Quick-Load Ratcheting Screwdriver

I dont know how they can give lifetime warranty when this screwdriver keep breaking

Husky (H) versus Milwaukee (M) comparison: M has 20 teeth in their gears, H has 72!!!! H’s ratcheting mechanism is lighter and smoother than M. M comes with 7 bits, H includes 12!!!. H uses a locking bit chuck, M uses magnetic (that’s always getting clogged with metal scraps). The H weighs 12 oz, M weighs 10.3 oz.

Love this. Easy to use, easy to change the bits. A bit heavy for a senior woman, but feels substantial and used it to reinforce 4dining room chairs and add a few missing screws. It was so easy for me with this simple, efficient tool!

The weight is perfect, sturdy and it’s unbreakable very strong

I bought this and it worked well with the original bit that came already loaded. Then I wanted to change it. There were NO instructions on the package about how to do this. Not everyone is mechanically inclined and “just knows” what to do. It did not simply pull out. I looked on YouTube and elsewhere online including here to find out. Nothing. After about 45 minutes I found this little arrow you push down on and THEN you can get the bit out. I do not think it is too much to ask for instructions to be included for this.

I have tried many different multi-bit screwdrivers from several different brands, but until now, all of them had some obnoxious drawback. Either they wouldn't have the bits I need, or the bit storage was difficult to use, or the shaft of the screwdriver was too wide to reach deeply recessed screws. This addresses all of those problems. There are multiple sizes of star, square, phillips, and flat drives. All of the drivers are long and narrow enough to reach recessed screws. The 72 tooth ratcheting mechanism is smooth and precise. The bit storage is intuitive and secure. And it's less expensive than the fancy name brands! This replaced the Klein 11-in-1 (model 32500) in my shop apron, and I bought a second to keep in my kitchen drawer. Seriously, this is the best multi bit screwdriver I have yet to find.

This thing is unbelievable. Worth twice as much as it costs. Not gonna be the most indestructible for heavy every day but features and function are so good. Im a tool JUNKIE snob enthusiast whatever im super critical and this thing amazed me. Buy it. Oh and did i mention you can put any standard hex bit uou have from drill bits to magnetic tips bc of the LOCKING QUICK LOAD FEATURE. Which is the best. Also the adjustment screw on the ratcheting forward/reverse selector is much needed and awesome. I hate when the selectors are too easy to bump or too hard to switch one handed. The adjutment screw lets you choose! They should market features like this louder.

A lot of mulibit screwdrivers don't have reach for narrow areas. This is close to 2 inches of use. You don't have to unscrew a compartment to switch bits. The air hose type collet is secure but easy to switch tool choices. The handle or grip can turn that touph screw and holds each bit separately. It does have a right-left-no ratchet. I baught it because I liked the sale price but would buy it again at full price now that I used it.

Very easy to use and comfortable. The convenience of having every screwdriver heads handy and not having to dig through your toolbox every time one is required is every DIYers dream come true. Also, I love the ratcheting feature, makes it super easy to work on screws. The material it is made of is higher quality and comfortable to hold. Love it and recommend it without any reservation.

12 in 1 ratcheting Husky brand screw driver is one of the best buys. The quality of the product looks good and the convenience of having all screw bits in the handle makes it easier for the user. I looked at some of the other brands and I think this is much better.

Klein Tools 12 Inch Quick Load Ratcheting Screwdriver. This is a high quality study screwdriver that will replace a whole set of your other drivers. I love it, it has a great feel in your hand, and fits firming in my large (glove size) hand. It’s comfort rubberized grip is non-slip. It comes with the following blades that quick connect in the drive: Slot 3/16 and 1/4, Phillips #1,2,3; Square #1, 2, 3; and Star bits T10, 15, 20, and 25. This is my new go to screwdriver and 5 other old plastic and wooden handles are going in the next yard sale. Bonus: Look at second picture, all the blades fit into recess slots on the handle so they convenient, secure and not getting misplaced.

Like most ratchet screwdrivers, this unit has a three-way switch allowing you to turn left, right, or locked in place. The switch is in a convenient location and is easy to use. The ratchet resets every five degrees (or so) and has a very solid CLICK sound. This tool is built to last. The oversize rubber grip holds six double ended bits, giving you 12 bits onboard. Of course you can also use any 1/4" hex bit. Very handy for everyday use.

I have always wanted a ratcheting screwdriver, and I loved that this particular one has a total of 12 different heads. Besides the traditional slotted and phillips heads, there also star and square shaped heads. The heads are easily installed and removed by pulling down on the top black ring to release. All the heads are stored in the handle of the screwdriver for quick access, and no fear of losing them. The handle has a non-slip grip so it is easy on the hands. The direction (installing or removing a screw) is adjusted by turning the ring with the arrows to the left or right. I used this screwdriver to remove and replace hardware in my kitchen, and after a few minutes getting used to the ratcheting motion, the changes went smoothly and quickly. This is a great little addition to my tool bag, and I highly recommend it.

Ratcheting Screwdriver Comes With 6 Double Ended Bits. 3 position ratchet, screw in, screw out and lock in position. I like this screwdriver because it has a larger than normal handle which gives you added leverage. Rubberized handle and handle design gives you a good grip. Bits, when inserted in screwdriver are locked in place. Good Lifetime Warranty. The ratcheting mechanism feels sturdy. The bits are stored within the handle but both ends of the bits are visible so you can pull out the correct one the first time. Part of the initial package can be used to store this screwdriver on a pegboard.

Husky 12-in-1 Quick-load Ratcheting Screwdriver with 6 Driver Blades in Handle has multi-use capable with six screwdrivers in one. It is similar to a stubby one I have, been using and find valuable and convenient. I also have a cordless driver, too, but sometimes need a hand-tool in situations. Those times it seems I am scrabbling for a screwdriver in my toolbox, the right one is either misplaced or have to search through a bunch of them.. This screwdriver design makes it quicker, all the blades are in the tool handle, easy to locate what's needed. The bits are not for all size fasteners as they are the smaller sizes that fit on a 1/4-inch double-ended bit shaft. The most useful bits are the Slotted Flat in 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch and the Phillips #1, #2, and #3 sizes. The other bits are good to have, but not used as often. The screwdriver will accept other standard size hex end bits, not only those provided. If you've tried a ratcheting screwdriver you immediately see the advantage in using it. It is less tiring to turn the screw, requires small twists since you reset it with the ratchet. It works great in tight places and is less likely for the blade to slip out of the screw head when turning or re-positioning the driver. It tightens and removes screws with the twist of the collar behind the blade. It also allows you to lock the ratcheting so it works like a regular screwdriver. The blades lock in and won't pull out without releasing the lock mechanism by pulling down on the ring below the bit. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth, but the screwdriver is heavier than an ordinary one at about 3/4-pound. It is all metal, no plastic, with a rubber covered handle. Husky is a great value brand and this screwdriver is a handy tool.

The Husky 12 in 1 Quick Load Ratcheting Screwdriver may just be the one screwdriver you need. With 12 drivers conveniently stored in the handle, you can tackle many jobs just with this one tool. The double ended bits fit securely and lock into place when inserted into the screwdriver for use. To release them, you simple pull back (towards the handle) on the black collar and pull the bit out. When not in use the bits fit securely in the handle. I have tried to shake them loose and have had no luck, while they are easy to remove when you want, they do a great job of staying in place in the handle. This screwdriver has three modes, ratcheting and tightening, ratcheting and loosening, and locked mode where there is no ratcheting. I have used several other brands of ratcheting screwdrivers and while most are fairly similar, I find myself using this Husky one more often. The convenience of having 12 bits in the handle and the ratcheting feature make this tool a must have for any DIYer, Homeowner, or anyone who uses tools regularly! Bits Include: SQ1 and SQ3 PH2 and SQ2 PH1 and PH3 3/16 and 1/4 T10 and T15 T20 and T25 While it comes with these bits, any 1/4 bit will fit!

The Husky 12-in-1 Quick-Load Ratcheting Screwdriver is the best tool for any homeowner. This solid device replaces 12 screwdrivers and offers such convenience. The handle offers a very nice solid grip with grip zones to ensure maximum performance on your turns. The ratcheting action is very precise and the collar unlocks the screw bits for storage in the handle. Each screw has two bits on both sides that double its usefulness. What I appreciate about this tool is the length of the screw bits for better reachability. In summary, we have a locking mechanism, ratcheting, double sided screw bits and the Husky Lifetime Warranty guaranteed by the Home Depot. This quality product is so good, I am recommending it to you! Recommended: Yes

Fantastic Value at $10 on the Canadian side I've owned my share of cheaper multi-bit screwdrivers where the ratcheting was rough, tail caps getting lost and bits pulling off the driver etc. THIS tool addresses all of these issues. Loving it so far as a multi tool. Bits are locked-in with a simple quick-release collar holding it tightly with a 3-ball bearing detent system. It can hold all regular 1/4" drill-driver bits: straight shank, detented bits and even the short 25mm bits [sinks deep though]. The grippy over-mold feels good in the hands. The extra bits are held snugly in the grip and slides out with your thumb. As a ratcheting driver don't expect to torque off rusted 3" screws --used your impact or dedicated drivers for that. 5-stars.

I am what you could call a Husky ratcheting screwdriver connesour. This is the 8th one I have tried and it is NOTHING like the rest. This drive is amazing and is perfect in grip, utility, style and precision. I don't know why this is released nationwide. This is the Husky brand that I know it can be!

Easy to use and comfortable hold. I love this product!

Very easy to use, eliminates having multiple tools.

I like the ratcheting and length of the driver heads and the variety of the heads.

Love it! Great buy and would recommend this tool highly. Great gift or stocking stuffer. Not super expensive either and well worth it.

Multiple varieties of bits to use. The ratchet mechanism makes it easier and faster to screw/unscrew.

My 20-year old Husky ratcheting screwdriver broke, and this was the free replacement. I like the in-handle storage of the double-ended bits, no losing them! A key toolbox ingredient.

very simple to use great product

Like the tool hate the packaging
