PB Swiss Tools Stubby Bit Holder PB 8452.M-10 | 100% Swiss Made | SwissGrip Stubby Screwdriver for PrecisionBits C 6.3 and E 6.3 (1/4")

I purchased this screwdriver just to get a feel for the PB Swiss craftsmanship i've read about and to try the Santoprene surface material. I already have several stubby bit holder screwdrivers so was not in need of one for immediate use.The form factor is surprisingly smaller than the other drivers that I have, so this may come in handy for certain situations where access is incredibly limited. The handle of the driver is top notch, it has a very finely textured rubber feel to it. The grip is very nice, not extremely hard, not too soft like many handled tools that I've owned. The driver and handle are 2.5" from the top of the handle to the tip, 1.3" at it's widest point and fitted with well placed scalloped surfaces along the lower edge and body of the handle. The magnet seems sufficiently strong and provides enough strength to hold fasteners through the bit. The bits will not be magnetized after removal from the handle.I placed the driver under running water and used it afterward to test its grip under wet conditions. The grip seems to be better than average for a handled tool and seemed to dry fairly quickly. I don't often get my tools wet, but I've definitely used them when oils and fluids from car have gotten on the surface. I don't want to expose a brand new tool to those conditions on day one, but will update this review once I've used it under similar conditions should they arise.In conclusion the build quality is excellent, although its a simple machine, it has been engineered well and refined more than many similar tools. If money is a consideration, you may want to buy something less expensive, however I enjoy tools that are made well and feel good. This company has that reputation and I feel confident making my next purchase.

The textured rubber grip is comfortable and resists slipping. The size is small enough to use in difficult-to reach spaces spinning it with just your fingers. The magnet that holds the bit is super strong. The bit fits in the shaft with very little play. This is by far my best bit holder. Good, solid tool.

This is really an excellent bit holder and worth the price. Doesn't seem to be as many stubby non-ratcheting holders out there but I think this is my favorite now, prefer it over the Felo and Wera. The broaching is spot on and clean, very very little wiggle on the bits. This will depend on the bit of course but the fit here is outstanding. Magnet is strong, holds quick change/grooved bits just fine even though it only grabs a short section of them. Handle is quite grippy with just a little cushiness from the santoprene material, no mold flash on that or on the cap, feels great.

I'm tired of bicycle multi tools. Jack of all tools, master of none. This stubby, a set of bits, and an extender makes, IMO, the perfect truly effective bicycle tool kit.

Good quality tool

I don't know why but every pb-swiss bit holder has such a shallow slot holes. haven't had a issue relating to shallow slot depth but just doesn't feel right. other than that, great precision made tool with nice grip.

If I needed to EDC, I would've gone for one with the bits in the handle but for home use, I think this was a better solution for me as I just purchased a set of driver bits for my drill and thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if I could use these as a screwdriver too." My decision turned out to be perfect in that it fits inside of the case with the bits. See photos. Feels terrific in the hand. Yes, it's expensive for what it is and what it is is what it is.

Much prefer the stubby that doesn't have bits inside the handle. It makes the screwdriver feel better in hand cause it's not hollow. The handle coating feels like rubber and is non slippery and feels nice in hand. A keeper. 5 stars.
