Why This Tool Is Worth It
Most ratcheting screwdrivers only drive on one direction of the turn. You crank forward, then you spin back and do nothing, then you crank forward again. SpeedDrive technology puts the screw in on both the left and right turn, which is why CRAFTSMAN rates it at twice the speed of a standard ratcheting screwdriver. On a job with a lot of fasteners, that cuts your wrist work roughly in half.
The in handle bit storage is the other reason a screwdriver like this earns bench space. Six bits ride inside the tool, so you're not walking back to a bit case every time you switch from Phillips to square drive. Seven double ended 2 inch bits come in the box, which covers fourteen tips right out of the gate.
There's also the simple fact that a hand driver still beats a drill for certain work. Delicate hardware, hinge screws, tight spaces, anything where an impact driver would strip the head or blow through the material. The extended locking bit holder keeps the bit from falling out mid turn, and the bi material handle gives you something to actually grip when the screw gets tight.
At under $15, this is the kind of tool that quietly makes every project easier.

Who This Is Best For
This belongs in every shop, period. Woodworking shops, garages, toolboxes, junk drawers, glove boxes. A good ratcheting screwdriver is one of those tools you don't think about until you need it, and then nothing else will do.
It's especially useful for woodworkers doing assembly and hardware installation. Hanging cabinet doors, mounting drawer slides, installing hinges and pulls, all of that goes better with hand control than with a drill you're trying not to overdrive. The bits in the handle mean you can do a whole hardware install without setting the tool down.
Homeowners get a lot out of it too. Furniture assembly, outlet covers, appliance panels, tightening loose screws around the house. If you only own one screwdriver, a ratcheting one with bit storage is the right one to own.
At this price it also makes a solid second unit for the truck or a gift for somebody just building their first tool kit.
