Picquic Sixpac
The Picquic Sixpac may be the last multi-bit screwdriver I'll ever need to buy, but it wasn't the first. I've gone through a dozen less successful attempts at this kind of tool, always losing at least half the bits in the first month or so of use. When I try to use the few bits I haven't lost, they invariably fall out of the bitholder, which weakens over time.
The Picquic Sixpac fixes both problems. Each bit is stored in a separate compartment in the screwdriver handle. You remove the bit you need by pushing it out of the handle with the bit you are finished with. Since there's no other easy way to get at the bit you need, you always put bits away as you finish with them. I've had mine for three years and it still has all its bits!
Additional features include a solid, spring-lock bitholder that holds as tightly now as it did the day I bought it, and a stainless steel shank that has stood up to everything I've thrown at it. It comes with six bits: two flathead, three Phillips head, and one Torx T15. Other bits are available in Bitpacs from Picquic.

They also have a great "stubby" version. If your Picquic gets & stays wet & the bits get hard to push through the handle, rub them with paraffin (emergency candle wax.)

This is a fantastic screwdriver and I've given several as gifts. Sturdy and reliable. However, the bits do tend to get somewhat rusty or corroded over time, and harder to push through the handle. It'd be a much better product if the bits were stainless steel.
