If I Was To Have Only (1) Screwdriver

[foakes]

OK, we have all been there --

Disassembling that 80 year old 4/0 Montague, a vintage gold International from 35 years ago, or any reel with stubborn screws.

What I want, is:

Good control
Non slip grip
Short and close to the screw head to hopefully eliminate any damage
Ability to "heel-palm" the driver for maximum pressure before attempting extraction
Good, proper sized bits -- especially when comparing US, Asian, and European Phillips screw configurations

This little Wiha might be it --

It just flat out works for a living -- no excuses, or whoops, or scratches -- just gets the job done the first time with no goobered screws or scratched sideplates.

Available with or without the magazine bit holder.  

$15 to $22.

Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc..

Top quality, and you can use any of the quality bits you already use with this.

Best,

Fred

In my opinion, Wiha makes the best screwdrivers. I have a set of small ones that I use for electronics. They are very precise compared to generic tools. I went through multiple sets before I found Wiha. I eventually want to buy a large set when I have a wad of cash to burn.

Thanks for that Chad. I have that screwdriver on the way.
This will be great for travel.
26 bit screwdriver. Alan Tani Wrench. Harness lug wrench and a small socket kit.
All set.

My go to screw driver. Fits Penn 5-40 screws.

I too have the Wiha 26 in One screwdriver. If you want to use ordinary 1"/25mm bits with it use a 6mm/ 1/4" spacer (under the bit) something like a small magnet
It's a great tavel tool

   I can't get enough of this Picquic Teeny Turner. It's great on the smaller reels. I even have a special ground bit for those insanely odd Crack screws. I've been thinking about adding the larger one...the Stubby...so I don't have to change bits so much.

I love the Wiha 26. I don't know how I did without it. A nice Chapman set from Dom.
I think I'm all set.

Daron! Thats no Penn on your bench... Jeff

[Donnyboat]

yes mO65, the teeny turner looks good, men is the Wiha handle made of a rubber type compound, I had a screw driver like that, after you get some grease, or chemical on your hand then transfer it to the handle, the handle gets all sticky, with the chemical reaction, not for me, cheers Don.

I know Jeff. It is a Daiwa Sealine 600H with Bryan's drag kit and a ss sleeve from Tom.
