Interchangeable screwdrivers: multifunctional tool for every situation
Screwdrivers are an indispensable part of any tool kit. They are among the most basic and oldest hand tools of all. For a very long time, screws have been used wherever individual parts need to be joined together. This means that no manual activity is complete without a screwdriver. Your screwdriver must fit the profile of the screw perfectly so that you can carry out the screwdriving process optimally. Because there are now so many different screw profiles, it is not always easy to have the best screwdriver with the most suitable profile to hand.

However, instead of a conventional blade permanently attached to the handle, there is a bit holder on the front of the handle. Often in the size ¼" hexagon socket. You can then insert standardised bits with different profiles into this holder. Depending on which screw profile you are dealing with. A bit set therefore completes a interchangeable screwdriver.
