Santa brought this neat screwdriver. The ratcheting shaft turns on both the forward and back motion of the wrist.
Should be a time saver.

I got a Kobalt driver also. Works great when a cordless driver is too big to access small fasteners.
I noticed this year while Christmas Shopping for tools that the line between Harbor Freight Pittsburgh brand and the almost mirrored product from Kobalt and Craftsman has blurred. Packaging, fit and finish are almost the same except for price. Harbor Freight is quite a bit less.
BTW a couple of weeks ago I returned a broken 3/8" drive 9/16" socket I used in an impact wrench. HB replaced the whole set not just the one socket. Try that with SnapOn or Craftsman.

Here ya all go, from Craig's:

He ONLY WANTS: $1,000,00

I almost grabbed one of those double drive kits at Lowes but I was a tad skeptical. Most of things I use drivers for require a lot of force and I wonder if it would hold up.

For light weight duties...like working on computers...I need something smaller and easier to handle in tight cramped spaces.

Good for auto trim fasteners, I hope. Prolly wouldn't hold up too long using as a pry bar or chisel.

One of those came in the tool kit I gifted to my wife.
Isn't it great when you can give you're spouse tools for a gift and she likes it.

Hey ! I got me one of them double drivers too. Only mine seems a bit different.

Completely agree, the HF stuff seems to be getting better, I noticed a set of trim tools I bought there has changed and the tips of them look much better then the set I bought a year or two ago. I also picked up an engine hoist there on sale, the last time I saw their display it was orange, not a big fan of the color but for the price with the 25% off coupon I had was worth it, when I went to pick it up they did not have a display out for it, so when I got it home, I found they put the Pittsburgh name on it and changed the color to a silver/gray, I was even more happy with it...

That double drive looks like a cool idea though!

For those "hard to reach" spots???

I saw the ads for them on TV. Looks like a good idea. But for me the made in China part would be a deal killer and would not buy.
