21-piece driver set offered by a screwdriver

In addition to 21 driver heads, LoggerHead Tools' Bit Dr screwdriver offers six driving positions, three length adjustments, an intuitive ratcheting function and fingertip control.

LoggerHead Tools has released the Bit Dr, a new kind of screwdriver that packs the function of a 21-piece driver set in the weight of one standard screwdriver.

In addition to 21 driver heads, it offers six driving positions, three length adjustments, an intuitive ratcheting function and fingertip control.

Measuring 101.6mm long when folded, the Bit Dr is small enough to keep in a pocket, drawer or tool pouch, yet built to last.

Like all of LoggerHead Tools' products, the Bit Dr is made in the United States and has a lifetime warranty.

LoggerHead Tools will be unveiling the Bit Dr at the National Hardware Show, 8th-10th May in Orlando, Florida at booth S25052.

Multi-bit screwdrivers that store bits in the handles are often bulky, difficult to hold, work in only one position and typically offer only six double-sided bits.

And multi-bit screwdrivers with bits stored separately are inconvenient because the bits are easy to misplace.

The Bit Dr solves these dilemmas by stowing 10 double-sided Xtra-Bits bits in a removable bit carriage that also acts as a cushioned rubber handle.

In use, the Xtra-Bits fit into the magnetised bit driver at the end of the shaft, or alternatively into the ratcheting mechanism or the pivoting head.

The Xtra-Bits offer a range of popular driver heads, including slotted, Phillips, hex, square and star, and the bit holder also serves as a female hex.

The Bit Dr can be used in six angled positions along a 180-degree range, including one that mimics a T-handled driver, to gain additional torque and fit into tight spots.

The removable shaft can be used independently of the mechanism, and the remaining pivoting hub can be used as a stubby driver.

The 101.6mm shaft folds into the handle when not in use.

The Bit Dr's free-wheeling/ratcheting mechanism enables users to drive a screw with a thumb and forefinger motion, rather than turning the wrist and forearm.

However, when tightening or breaking force is needed, the Bit Dr will automatically engage the ratcheting function using a standard driving motion.

The Bit Dr's contoured handle fits comfortably in the palm of a hand and adapts to many more driver applications than cylindrical-handled screwdrivers.

Its cushioned, moulded rubber handle is flexible and the complete body is ribbed, providing maximum gripping surface for gloved hands.

Though it is light and portable, the Bit Dr is durable.

All its metal parts, including the hardened bits, are nickel-coated for corrosion resistance and long wear.

With so many screwdrivers in one, the Bit Dr easily travels in the pocket, and can lighten the tool box or de-clutter the kitchen or office drawer.

It is a convenient addition to the glove box or auto trunk, garage, dorm room, emergency kit - anywhere having the right screwdriver would come in handy.
