At first look, this appears to be like like an honest set, and its $29 value appears affordable.

The set comes with Tekton’s excessive torque screwdriver deal with, which has a tri-lobe geometry. Tekton says the deal with allows customers to generate excessive torque, and there’s a rounded part at the back and front ends for quicker spinning.

In my expertise, these Tekton screwdriver handles look a bit funky however are fairly snug to make use of.

The screwdriver deal with suits 1/4″ hex-shank insert bits, and is magnetic. Tekton says the magnetic bit receiver is friction-fit throughout the receiver and might’t fall out.

I’ve had glued-in magnet inserts fall out of screwdriver handles and bit holders earlier than, and so Tekton explicitly saying theirs is friction-fit is an efficient promoting level.

Dialogue

At least, this appears to be like to be a really portable-looking bit screwdriver set.

And, going via the main points, there are plenty of small options that construct up its enchantment.

There’s not one singular issue that provides me a “that is the equipment for me” type of vibe, however every thing collectively? – I’m offered.

I requested Tekton for a take a look at pattern, and can report again after I give the instruments a whirl. I’m most curious concerning the prolonged size insert screwdriver bits, and in the event that they make a distinction.

There are plenty of occasions when bits are just a bit too brief, and screwdriver deal with shanks just a bit too broad for bit drivers to work.

I’m additionally curious concerning the rubberized bit rails, though I’m questioning if it will be higher if they didn’t have measurement markings. I suppose that, if one ever swaps out screwdriver bits, they’ll all the time cowl up the markings with tape or a Sharpie.

Whereas a bit greater priced than extra fundamental screwdriver bit units, this Tekton 37pc set appears to be like to be extra thoughtfully designed. It additionally has plenty of what I want, and little that I don’t.
