Last week we talked about some of our favorite screwdrivers and asked about your favorites. Now we’re going to talk a bit about our go-to drivers. You know, the ones that are up front, within easy reach on the bench.
For speed and production driving, I grab my SnapOn ratcheting driver (see the above photo, driver on the left). Meanwhile, the two Wera Classic drivers in the middle are excellent for fast, quick work. The bright red Wiha ClickFix on the right is loaded for Torx & Robertson bit applications.
All of these drivers fit well in the hand and offer excellent ergonomics, but the Wera drivers are a notch or two better for continuous use.

I have a set of “Channel-Lock” that I picked up at Sam’s. They have a metal cap on the end for when i (mis)use them the way I tend to use them. They are not USA made, but they have been tough so far.
My go-everywhere is a Klein 10-in-1. Not the most ergonomic, but the versatility keeps it close at hand.
@ Sam – I agree, versatility is paramount. I’d rather grab one drive for a quick project then making trips back to the shop.
I carry a Klein 10 in 1 along with a Knipex 7″ Cobra Pliers and a pocket screwdriver with me at all times while working during the day. I get about 25% of my work done with these 3 tools. Like Sam and Jeff say, it keeps me from running back and forth to the tool box all day and gives me a lot of versatility .
For a quick and easy go-to screwdriver I grab my Megapro. Its a bitloader and seems to do what I need it too. Otherwise I grab the old Klein cushiongrips.
