For dealing with smaller screws like those you’d find while tightening eyeglasses, replacing the battery on a laptop, or repairing a drone, we recommend the Megapro 24-in-1 Multi-Bit Precision Screwdriver. Like the larger Megapro screwdrivers we recommend, this model offers an excellent combination of bits, ergonomics, and convenience features not found on the competition. The in-handle storage system is the same design and holds 12 double-sided bits that cover all the basics and then some, including Apple’s pentalobe bit. In use, the teardrop handle is comfortable and stylish (for a screwdriver), and the spinning cap moves with almost no resistance. The Megapro 24-in-1 is not a ratcheting screwdriver, but we didn’t miss that feature much considering the delicate nature of a precision screwdriver and the smooth action of this model’s spinning cap.

The downside of the Megapro 24-in-1 is that, like any multi-bit screwdriver, it has a thick stem to accept the bits. This means you can’t use it with deeply recessed screws—it can’t reach anything deeper than about a half inch. Although such conditions can arise, in our experience they’ve been few and far between in regular, day-to-day situations. The real solution for recessed screws is a set of individual precision screwdrivers, which have long, thin stems—but to get the overall functionality of the Megapro 24-in-1, you’d need 24 different screwdrivers.

We dismissed the majority of the other screwdrivers we tested based on either their overall quality or how they managed bit storage. Note, too, that we’ve been testing screwdrivers for eight years, and many of those we’ve looked at are no longer available; this group includes models from Craftsman, DeWalt, Irwin, Kobalt, Milwaukee, and Stanley.

As part of their new line of Defender insulated tools, MegaPro has released the 6-in-1 Insulated Multi-Bit Screwdriver. It has many of the characteristics we admire in other MegaPro screwdrivers like the carousel storage and the teardrop handle. It is not a ratcheting screwdriver and does not come with any Torx bits. It is insulated up to 1000-volts, so for an electrician (or serious DIYer), it might be worth the $90 investment, but otherwise, we recommend sticking with the 13-in-1.

The Ideal 35-688 21-in-1 Multi-Bit Ratcheting Screwdriver is another good-quality screwdriver that suffers from weak bit storage. The bits are in a carousel, like the Megapro 13-in-1’s, but the cap has to be unscrewed to access them. Compared with our pick, it just takes too much time. We do like that the rear of the cap can be used to twist wire nuts, but that’s a fairly specialized task that most will never have to deal with.

The same can be said about the Electriduct Ratcheting Screwdriver. It has a telescoping stem, which sounds neat, but not something we’ve ever felt we needed. Worse, though, is that the storage is underneath a screw cap. Also, the handle isn’t that comfortable.

The Husky 12-in-1 Quick Loading Ratchet Screwdriver stores the bits on the exterior of the handle. It’s a fiddly system and nowhere near as simple as the Megapro’s storage.

The Wera 27 RA Ratcheting Screwdriver has a very odd, yet comfortable handle with three concentric concave areas for the hand to grab. It’s a very nice screwdriver, but it only holds six bits.
