Been needing a multidriver for awhile and i was trying to avoid buying a klien 11 in 1. So when i saw this for 28$ decided it was time to pull the trigger.
As you can see i've already worn off the label playing with it :thumbup: Since all the bits and the adaptor are supposed to be impact rated the extra bits will come in handy for my impact which lives in my pouch too.

I've got one of those and to be real honest I like the 11n1 better. If I'm using a multi-driver it's because I'm on a walk through or I'm back in a PITA hole and I like the extra functionality of the 11n1. I don't like the handle on the Klein but it's not like I use my 11n1 all day every day anyway.
Got my Milwaukee 11-in-1 yesterday. Used it today and loved in. Mounted two receptacles with just one tool and just one bit. No flipping between two drivers, pliers, and strippers. A real time saver. Feels great in the hand too.
I seen that driver the other day. looked pretty cool. I was concerened about the new phillips/slotted bit and the size of the handle looked small for me. I grabed a 3 dollar buck brothers 6 in 1 instead. But are you still using it as an everyday tool? Whats the low down on it?:001_huh:
fantastic and a little sad. the guys who buy tools just to collect them... that is sad to me. my father in law has OCD, and he buys things he does not need. i think some of the guys on garage journal are like him.
upgrading my work hand tools, organization, and pouches is one thing. the tools don't make the craftsman. the proper tools, in the hands of a craftsman, increase productivity and make a craftsman the master of his trade, though.
i am at a point where there is almost nothing left on my tool list left to upgrade. my local has a hardhat on the tool list and mine is "expired" and beat to crap, so i need a new one. i also want a starrett 18C to replace my general tool center punch. that is about it.
i want to weld up a small open top box for my tool tray for pencils, pens, sharpies and my highlighter, and then spray paint it black.
Is this in reference to me? I'm not buying to collect. I'm upgrading from my current set up that I have had since I first started working in the field. Do I need a pair of 7" pump pliers? Eh, not really. But it would've been nice to pay less and get both a 7 and 10 rather than paying more for just a 10.
because of this site and garage journal, i have upgraded these tools over the last 6 months:
my commercial pouch to a occidental leather rig with hip pads
my industrial pouch to a new pocket pouch and tape measure holder
the wiha 6pc insulated screwdriver set at sears
fluke 1AC-A II tick tracer
keson RWM1 chalk box
10" knipex cobra x 2
vaughan E18F hammer
2000 series sidecuts and diagonals
dasco pro cold chisel
maxis marksman layout tool
Just stumbled across a deal, Wera Kraftform Kompakt $29.20 looks like they are having a sale on 1 model at chadstoolbox. Thought some people might be interested.
I picked up the last set of these at the supply house on Friday, love it so far, the fit is comparable to my Mechanic brothers snap on sockets at no where near the price.
My brother got me one of these off the tool truck, I used to have a straight one but some scumbag dog nicked it off me, really good for face plates, just hold the handle stationary and spin the shaft in your fingers and its quick as.
I'd consider it if it held the bits as strongly as the wera one.
Then again, I frequently remove the shaft from the handle to use in my impact and drill so maybe not.
