- Bit driver needs vary by domain (electronics vs gunsmithing vs automotive). Consider adding guidance on JIS vs Phillips, Torx security bits, and magnetized holders.
How to choose (fast)
- Short driver = carryable; long driver = better leverage. Decide your reality.
- Good bits matter more than the handle.
- If it doesn’t fit your common fasteners, it won’t get carried.
